Modern, stylish and safe poolside decking solution for New Acres, Wandsworth

International manufacturer and supplier of decking products, Accredited Supplier Dura Composites, recently supplied its Dura Deck Inspire porcelain decking for New Acres, a luxurious set of 554 apartments located in the heart of Wandsworth.

The New Acres complex is designed for high-quality residential living, featuring a wide range of communal amenities, including a pool. Award-winning landscaping and construction company, Accredited Contractor NAO Landscapes, chose Dura Deck Inspire for the poolside application at New Acres. 

An attractive decking solution that excels in safety

Composed of porcelain, Dura Deck Inspire is inherently strong and resistant to heat and water absorption. The boards are also resistant to frost and ice, with practically no water absorption. Couple this with being completely resistant to open flames and extreme temperatures, there’s no risk of deformation or deterioration. A superb anti-slip performance in all weather conditions adds to the incredible safety features of Dura Deck Inspire. Minimal upkeep is required to elongate the crisp and modern appearance of the boards, which have a minimum lifetime expectancy of 60 years and a 10-year structural warranty.

Previously, the market was lacking a safe, anti-slip poolside decking solution that is aesthetically comparable with traditional timber decking, with many relevant applications opting for the non-traditional appearance of aluminium decking. The planks are 20 x 200 x 1800mm to replicate the classic timber decking style, expertly crafted with natural wood grains to achieve the traditional appearance of timber and available in four elegant colour tones.

To top it off, the boards are manufactured using 61% of pre-consumer recycled materials, and the paper packaging materials are made from recycled paper and are further recyclable. 

Safe and stylish porcelain hardscaping 

Dura Deck Inspire provided a modern, stylish and safe poolside solution for New Acres. Its anti-slip properties made it the ideal choice for this luxury poolside environment, and its A1 fire rating made it a safe choice for a communal area. Due to the size of the planks which span up to 50% more than competitor products, substructure material costs were reduced and a simpler and quicker installation process meant less handling and labour.
