Different platforms, clearly named
Match the core and cap to the intended proposition. Specialist PVC-core or aluminium-core products are identified separately from conventional WPC.
08 / Exterior product platforms For the trade
WPC decking.
Develop an outdoor programme around the right profile and surface technology. Explore WPC, capped composites and specialist exterior platforms with the installation system planned alongside the boards.
Product knowledge01 / Understand
Build the range from the section outward.
Outdoor composite catalogues contain several material platforms. Traditional wood- or bamboo-polymer composite, capped WPC, ASA or PMMA surface routes, PU-capped boards and aluminium-core hybrids should not be treated as one universal WPC recipe.
Our sourcing direction covers these platforms, with solid and hollow profile options and coordinated installation components. The actual available profile, formulation and surface are confirmed as a range, rather than inferred from a family name.
We work with distributor teams on the full outdoor offer: joists, clips, fasteners, fascia, end treatments, colours, samples, packing and installation guidance. Cladding and fencing directions can be coordinated where their own application specifications are resolved.
The system beyond the board
Confirm substructure, support spacing, fixings, movement and drainage details. A surface brochure is not an installation specification.

The buying decision02 / Specify
Specify the whole product.
A useful quotation starts with the construction and the intended market. These are the decisions we work through with your product team.
Prepare your specification ↗| Decision | What to define |
|---|---|
| Core and surface | Actual material platform, cap or film, profile and dimensions. |
| Profile | Solid, hollow or hybrid section; board mass and approved support. |
| Appearance | Colour, grain, embossing and accepted weathering behaviour. |
| Installation | Joists, clips, fasteners, fascia, edge details and instructions. |
| Evidence | Range-specific weathering, mechanical, slip and fire data where required. |
Questions from product teams
A clearer
specification.
Is every composite decking platform wood-plastic composite?
No. Some exterior platforms use different polymer cores or an aluminium structural element. The actual composition must be stated for the selected range.
Are composite boards maintenance-free?
A range still needs cleaning and care instructions. Avoid a universal maintenance-free or no-fading promise; behaviour depends on the product and exposure.
