Wood-based composites
are increasingly used on all types of terraces and balconies. Investors decide on them because they
combine the aesthetic advantages of wood with high durability and resistance to
atmospheric factors.
Which composite boards
should I choose for a terrace or balcony?
Compos made of a mixture
of wood flour and PVC, as well as polypropylene PP or polyethylene PE are
available on the market. The best
ones are with the addition of PVC. They
contain 30-50% of wood, thanks to which their appearance, color and texture
resembles elements of exotic knotless wood. Also
walking around them, we feel like we tread on wood. The content of PVC in composite boards
makes them durable, resistant to moisture and do not discolour under the
influence of UV radiation, which is very important when used in places such as
a balcony or terrace. They are
also perfectly straight and longer than wooden boards, which facilitates and
speeds up assembly work. If we
choose boards with PVC additions on the balcony or terrace, we also guarantee
that their surface will not be slippery (it is brushed).
In contrast to wood,
composite boards do not need to be renewed, it's enough to wash them with water
from time to time.
Easy assembly of
composite boards
The advantage of
composite boards is that manufacturers often offer them in a set with joists,
masks and steel connectors.Thanks to the system solutions, composite boards are
easy to arrange - the joists are laid directly on the concrete, without the
need for insulation on the balcony or terrace.
