Description

The Alchemy Habitat+ Composite 3.6m Deck Boards are available in a selection of three timeless colours: Bowness Brown, Rydal Grey and Grizedale Light Grey in a seamless design that emphasises sleek style. The Rydal Grey option offers a fashionable deep grey shade that brings a chic, contemporary finish to a variety of garden settings, and can be easily coordinated with additional garden furniture and ornaments to bring your decking space to life.

The hollow capped composite deck boards are as durable as they are attractive, with a dual surfaced board that offers a choice of either a natural woodgrain finish or narrow grooved surface to best suit your garden setting. They also perfectly complement a variety of garden styles to create an attractive space for spending more time in your garden and are designed to be conveniently installed on 400mm centres.

This hard-wearing and long-lasting decking solution boasts a polymer cap which fully encapsulates the deck board and enhances its UV stability against fading. This enhanced protection will keep your decking looking refined for years to come, without the need for excessive upkeep to maintain its smooth, stain-resistant and scratch-resistant surface. The additional purchase of the BSW hidden fixing clips can secure the deck boards without any protruding fixings, making this a safer, splinter-free option to enjoy walking barefoot around your garden taking in the summer sun. Finished with a HDPE capped coat, which is one of the most versatile plastic polymers available, this decking is as strong as it is attractive and creates a dependable decking area where you can relax, eat and entertain in style for many years to come.
