Our unique Northwest weather presents a challenge for homeowners, particularly when it comes to outdoor structures such as decks. Choosing the right decking material for your climate makes a big difference in determining the lifespan and attractiveness of your deck, which is why many homeowners are turning to composite decking for a solution.
Flammability Standards
ASTM International, formerly called the American Society for Testing and Materials, describes a process for testing and evaluating the performance of building materials during ignition, combustion and burning phases of fire. The ASTM standards are used as a basis for building codes, insurance requirements and fire regulations. ASTM E84 - 11a is referred to when testing the response of materials or products to heat or flame under controlled conditions, but the standard doesn't include all the factors that a real fire would contain.
About Our Decking Products
Our WPC Decking is designed to be simple to put together and does not require specialist tools. Our decking uses T clips and stainless-steel screws to allow the boards to expand and contract with varying weather conditions. Click on our Decking Installation guide for more help.
Whether you want a venetian style, louvre, or continuous slats doesn’t matter. From conception to completion, every aspect of your design and installation will be built to make your garden the favourite part of your property once more.
Durability
Due to the plastic containment of WPC decking, the material has improved durability over its alternatives. This type of decking is designed to be durable and its material, blend and finish make it resistant to lots of the factors that usually reduce the life of wood decking.
WPC decking resists fading, staining, scratching and mould and is so durable that STORM offers a 10-year guarantee on our WPC range against splitting, rotting, cracking and decay.
