{"product_id":"essential-composite-decking-board","title":"Essential Composite Decking Board","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Essential range is our most popular composite decking board. A lightweight hollow composite deck board, the Essential range is perfect for residential garden decking projects where a combination of affordability, durability and beautiful aesthetics are key. The Essential board features a capped top surface that provides enhanced resistance to fading, staining and weathering, making it our most popular choice for UK homeowners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Essential composite decking?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEmbossed Woodgrain Finish.\u003c\/strong\u003e A deep, textured woodgrain is a sight rarely seen on hollow deck boards. With many manufacturers tending to simply print a wood-effect on the surface.

Our Essential range of composite deck boards has both on a single plank. One side is a authentic woodgrain finish for a natural look, while the reverse is a grooved pattern for a more contemporary feel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHollow Tube Design.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Essential range comes equipped with a hollow ‘tube’ design, which promises a lightweight composition without a compromise. What’s more, we remove a fraction of the material within the core in order to better match the strength of the board’s solid alternative.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoard dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 145mm (W) x 24mm (D) x 3600mm (L)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight per board:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.52kg\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCharacteristic\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eResult\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDensity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.35g\/cm3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlexural Strength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29.1 Mpa\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlexural Stiffness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3543 Mpa\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Load\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5194 N\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImpact Resistance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e56 J\/m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDurometer Hardness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e69.4 Shore D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTensile Strength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24.5 Mpa\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater Absorption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.65%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLinear Thermal Expansion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43.2x10-6 K-1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReaction to Fire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCfl -s1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlip Resistance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.38 - 0.89 (See Below)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore you start:\u003c\/strong\u003e store boards flat and allow them to acclimatise on site before fitting.
