Dex Classic WPC Composite Woodgrain Double Faced Decking Board – 2400mm (2.4m)

Premium Composite Decking with a Choice of Two Finishes

The Dex Classic WPC Composite Decking Board offers the natural appearance of timber with the durability and low maintenance benefits of modern wood plastic composite (WPC). Measuring 2.4 metres in length, these reversible decking boards feature a realistic woodgrain finish on one side and a contemporary grooved profile on the other, allowing you to choose the look that best suits your outdoor space.

Manufactured from a high-quality blend of 60% sustainably sourced wood fibre, 30% recycled HDPE and 10% performance-enhancing additives, Dex Classic decking delivers exceptional strength, weather resistance and long-term value. Unlike traditional timber decking, it won’t require regular painting, staining or sealing, making it an ideal solution for homeowners, landscapers and commercial contractors.

Available in Black, Brown, Natural, Grey and Teak, Dex Classic Composite Decking complements a wide range of modern and traditional outdoor designs, from garden patios and terraces to holiday lodges and commercial landscaping projects.

Installation Guidelines

For the best long-term performance, follow these installation recommendations:

• Allow decking boards to acclimatise on site for at least 72 hours before installation.
• Do not install when temperatures are below 5°C.
• Install joists at maximum 350mm centres.
• Leave a minimum 15mm expansion gap around walls and fixed objects.
• Allow an 8mm expansion gap where boards meet end to end.
• Secure the subframe using suitable expansion fixings at 300 to 400mm intervals.
• Ensure adequate drainage and airflow beneath the deck.
• Install with a fall of approximately 1% to 1.5% away from buildings to encourage water runoff.
• Use the recommended hidden fixing clips on every joist, pre-drilling with a 2.5mm drill bit where required.
• Double up joists beneath butt joints to provide full board support.
• Fix angle trims using STORMFix adhesive rather than mechanical fixings.

Natural Weathering

As with all uncapped WPC composite decking, Dex Classic boards will naturally lighten during the first few months after installation. This is a normal weathering process caused by UV exposure and will gradually stabilise into a consistent, attractive finish within approximately 12 months.

During the early weathering period, temporary water marks or naturally occurring tannin marks may also appear. These will fade over time through normal exposure to the elements and do not affect the performance or durability of the decking.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Dex Classic Composite Decking is designed to require very little maintenance.

To keep your decking looking its best:

• Clean periodically using warm water and a soft brush.
• Remove leaves and debris to maintain drainage.
• Avoid bleach, solvents and harsh chemical cleaners.
• Ensure the deck remains well ventilated.
• Do not install boards in direct contact with soil, grass or permanently damp areas.

With its attractive appearance, durable construction and easy maintenance, the Dex Classic WPC Composite Woodgrain Double Faced Decking Board is an excellent choice for creating a stylish outdoor living space that will provide years of reliable performance.
