Why Timbosite® over Composite
Modern outdoor spaces call for more than traditional decking. Timbosite® answers with a superior finish, outstanding durability, and a true-to-timber appearance that sets a new benchmark for outdoor living upgrades.
A breakthrough in timber engineering, Timbosite® combines the warmth and versatility of natural wood with the structural integrity and weatherproof reliability of composite. Built to endure. Designed to impress. Guaranteed not to crack under pressure.
Superior Carbon Storage
Our boards are crafted with a high proportion of genuine wood, a naturally renewable material that captures and stores carbon throughout its growth. This means more CO₂ stays securely locked within the material, helping to reduce environmental impact.
In contrast, composite boards with higher plastic content retain significantly less carbon and often carry a greater carbon footprint during production.
Commitment to Sustainability
Crafted from FSC® 100% certified wood fibres sourced from responsibly managed forests, Timbosite® represents a renewable and environmentally conscious choice. Rooted in responsible forestry, it reflects a commitment to both quality and sustainability.
In contrast to many composite boards that depend on petroleum-based plastics, our materials are produced with a more sustainable approach and greater energy efficiency.
Authentic Natural Appearance
Timbosite® offers the warmth, texture, and natural beauty of timber, bringing an authentic and refined finish to any space. Designed to age gracefully, our boards develop character over time, weathering in a way that enhances their natural appeal.
In contrast, many composite boards can appear artificial, lacking the depth and organic quality of real wood, with a finish that often feels more plastic than natural.
Cooler and More Comfortable
Thanks to the natural insulating properties of timber, Timbosite® boards stay cooler underfoot on warm days, offering a more comfortable experience in outdoor settings.
In contrast, many composite boards tend to absorb and retain heat, which can make them noticeably warmer and less comfortable in direct sunlight.
Environmentally Responsible End-of-Life
Timbosite® boards are designed with end of life in mind, offering a more natural path to biodegradation as well as greater ease of recycling or repurposing. This helps to minimise waste and reduce the burden on landfill.
In contrast, composite boards that contain plastic components are typically more difficult to recycle and are more likely to contribute to long term environmental pollution.
Enhanced Thermal and Acoustic Insulation
Our boards deliver excellent insulation against both heat loss and sound, enhancing comfort while supporting greater energy efficiency. Crafted with a high proportion of natural wood, Timbosite® provides a more balanced and refined performance across a range of environments.
In comparison, materials such as composite, concrete, steel, and aluminium typically offer lower insulating properties, making them less effective in maintaining warmth and reducing noise.
