We’re delighted to introduce Designboard, a sleek, high-quality composite decking. It ticks contemporary design boxes left, right and centre with a quality that stands out from other boards on the market.

We know (because you’ve told us) you want a modern material that blends perfectly into minimalist designs while still offering that distinctive decking appearance. Designboard composite decking does exactly that.

Charcoal DesignBoard was chosen by Blue Tulip Garden Design to create a modern decking patio.

Available in eight colours, chosen to complement our porcelain and natural sawn stone products—not to mention our modern cladding alternative, DesignClad—Designboard offers very consistent base tones. At the same time, its composition, which includes environmentally-friendly vegetable fibres, gives it an attractive natural look with very slight variations in colour and finish that add character without detracting from its smooth, contemporary style.

Decking solutions for every design

Amber DesignBoard is used here by April House Garden Design to create an atmospheric corner with lighting set into the fascia of the edge of the raised area. Built by Darren Watt Landscaping.

Each colour comes in a standard 3600mm length and boards can be cut using standard tools.

In addition, we supply Designboard with pencil round edge profiles for steps and coping, made by us at our Bespoke Stone Centre. Matching fascia boards add a neat, finishing touch to steps and raised decks.

Not just for decking

Outdoor flooring is not the only application for composite decking, though. DesignBoard can also be used as cladding, screening and for a composite decking bench design.

Check out a garden design using DesignBoard composite decking in as many ways as you can think of.

Simple to install

Clever clip system

One of the things we like about Designboard composite decking is that installation has been really well thought out, lightening your workload. Specially designed clips hold boards firmly in position, while automatically creating a neat 4mm gap down the long edges, making that professional-looking evenly-gapped finish a given.

Take a look at how it's done in our DesignBoard installation video:

Colour match screws

Boards can also be screwed down, and fascia needs to be screwed into place. To create a finish that doesn't distract the eye from the composite decking's smooth lines, colour match screws match boards exactly, making them virtually unnoticeable.

As with all our products, you can see Designboard at our showrooms around the country. Here, you'll also find Millboard decking and our Brushed and Grooved decking for budget-conscious designs. Our experienced sales staff will, not only give you a rather decent coffee, but also - even more importantly - show you the full range, help you to match composite decking colours with our other paving products, and discuss in depth the needs of your garden design.
