In need of a replacement for an existing decked area made from traditional timber decking, John Drummond, a homeowner in Glenrothes, Fife, sought a long-lasting and low-maintenance decking solution for his garden that was also stylish.
Allur, a premium composite decking brand available exclusively from IDSurfaces, helped make John’s dream a reality. Made from sustainable materials, the slip-resistant boards are easy to fit, resistant to rot and damp, and boast a much longer lifespan than timber decking, with no need for regular maintenance and staining.
On the completed project, John said: “I chose Allur’s composite decking in a combination of Chocolate and Golden Caramel, as I thought these were really elegant colours for the look I was after.
“What I liked most about Allur was the wide choice of board colours and the easy-to-use fixing system, which is very sturdy once installed.
“The instructions provided were straightforward, making the decking simple to cut and assemble. Additionally, the colour-matching screws for securing the fascia boards were nearly invisible, adding to the professional finish with this attention to detail.”
With a user-friendly fixing system, as well as the creative scope offered by the wide choice of finishes, Allur was the ideal choice for the job.
A two-level decking area was installed with the darker Chocolate boards as the main feature, framed by the contrasting Caramel border to add design interest. The new decked area was designed to accommodate a hot tub and several planters, with recessed LED lighting installed around the edging on both levels to ensure the area is illuminated and can be enjoyed when the sun goes down. Allur boards were also used to create a step up to the decking area from the garden.
Allur provides a complete decking solution comprising 3600mm x 148mm hollow double-sided boards in a choice of seven colours, supported by a wide range of colour-matching accessories, including starter boards, fascia boards, edging strips, composite joists, clips, and screws.
For installers searching for a composite decking brand to recommend to clients, or for homeowners with a knack for DIY, Allur is a great choice and another premium quality surface solution, exclusive to IDSurfaces.
