Ecodek has had another great year; demand for our product has increased again from even more first time buyers to increased repeat customers.

New and Improved Fixings

admin — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 09:18:53 +0000

An important factor when installing your Ecodek decking project is to ensure you use the right fittings. Composite decking boards need to be fastened down securely to ensure a long and maintenance-free life (which is why we don’t recommend hidden fixings). Here at Ecodek we have spent the last 2 years with our screw supplier developing what we believe is the best stainless steel composite deck screw on the market today. The video below shows a simple, step by step guide on how to fix the new screws.

If you have any further questions regarding installation please contact our technical department 01244 677 367

Channel Islands Success for Ecodek

admin — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 11:38:37 +0000

Sales of Ecodek have grown considerably in the past couple of years, mainly due to increased product awareness and our ability to provide an excellent service at a competitive price.

The strong alliance that has been forged with our Guernsey agent means that we are now able to pass on considerable cost savings to Channel Islands customers.

During their first year of appointment, R H Gaudion & Sons have enjoyed buoyant sales of Ecodek. Their customers are taking advantage of the high slip resistance and low maintenance properties of our Ecodek composite decking boards. These qualities in particular are appropriate for our Guernsey customers due to harsh weather conditions from the Atlantic Ocean and the corrosive effects of ocean water.

The most effective projects have been terraces and balconies in close proximity to the sea, here we have replaced stained and slippery patio slabs thus improving appearance and reducing the potential for slips & trips. Local architects have also been very positive specifying Ecodek for a range of new build projects. Watch this space…
