Composite Warehouse essential grey decking boards are engineered to provide an outdoor flooring solution that is low-maintenance, long-lasting, and highly affordable.
Our boards are designed with a reversible profile: choose the wide-grooved finish on one side, or flip it for a traditional thin-grooved appearance. Each board features a 4-square hollow-core design, providing excellent strength and durability for domestic patios (please ensure your subframe joist centres do not exceed 300mm).
Rated by our customers as the perfect mix of affordability and quality, our composite decking features built-in UV protection. However, like any uncapped outdoor material, please bear in mind that the colour will naturally lighten slightly during the first few months as it weathers. Every grey board order also qualifies for our industry-first FREE delivery when you purchase your installation clips alongside your boards.
The Tradesman’s Tips
Over the years, our grey grooved boards have become the go-to budget option for customers wanting the long-lasting benefits of composite without the premium price tag. The sanded, grooved finish perfectly mimics a traditional ridged wood look.
When considering drawbacks, it is important to note that this lighter colour can fade more noticeably than our dark grey composite boards. Always prepare for the deck to lighten by at least two shades once laid and exposed to the elements. However, a major benefit frequently highlighted by our customers is that this lighter shade stays noticeably cooler underfoot during the height of summer.
Design & Colour Pairing
Finding the right decking design ideas can sometimes be tricky, but this board provides a cool, contemporary feel. Its lighter tone acts as a fantastic neutral canvas that contrasts beautifully with darker garden furniture, and it blends seamlessly if you are mixing materials like light porcelain paving. To complete your garden transformation, pairing this deck with our composite fencing creates a calming, cohesive boundary in a perfectly complementary colour.
Complete the Build: Required Accessories
Like all our boards, ensuring you have the right accessories is key to building a strong decking subframe that will stand the test of time.
- Composite Posts & Joists: If long-lasting performance is your priority and you are happy to make the investment, composite joists and posts offer superior moisture resistance to ensure your foundation lasts for decades. If long-term durability is not your main priority, treated timber joists remain a suitable option for decks planned to last up to 10 years.
- Clips and Starter Clips: We often see customers under-ordering these crucial fixings. When installing your composite decking. To securely fasten your composite decking boards without driving screws through the surface, you must use clips every 300mm along the joists. On average, you will need one pack of standard hidden clips for every 4 square metres, and one pack of starter clips for every 25 square metres.
- Matching the Edge: Adding the finishing touches is essential, particularly when building composite decking steps. We highly recommend using a standard grey decking board as a fascia (which perfectly covers a standard 150mm drop) and finishing the corners with our matching edge trims.
