Paul Smith, head of marketing at F.H. Brundle, discusses the modern materials shaking up the fencing and decking sectors.<\/em><\/p>\n

Since the turn of the millennium, rapid advances in technology have seen traditional materials increasingly replaced with stronger, longer-lasting and easier to maintain alternatives.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unlikely the humble timber fence or metal railings will ever disappear completely from Britain\u2019s gardens \u2013 but now, it\u2019s got serious competition.<\/p>\n

New man-made materials like WPC \u2013 wood-plastic composite \u2013 can deliver the timeless timber aesthetics that homeowners like so much, but without timber\u2019s many drawbacks.<\/p>\n

Where wood is susceptible to rotting and warping, WPC products are water-resistant. Where timber needs costly, time-consuming and regular maintenance, WPC products require virtually none \u2013 and what\u2019s more, its longer life-span means it needs replacing less often too.<\/p>\n

Long-lasting, easy-maintenance decking<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

WPC has quickly become a leading material in the decking sector, as well as becoming popular for fencing, cladding and more.<\/p>\n

At F.H. Brundle, for instance, we supply the popular Rinato\u2122 range of WPC fencing and decking \u2013 offering the look of wood, without the hassle.<\/p>\n

With the option for a woodgrain finish, it\u2019s able to offer much-sought-after traditional aesthetics. But it\u2019s much stronger, longer-lasting, and virtually maintenance free.<\/p>\n

Rinato combines Forest Stewardship Council-certified recycled eucalyptus wood and non-toxic recycled polyethylene or polypropylene, making it both incredibly strong and environmentally friendly.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, Rinato products also come backed with a 25-year guarantee!<\/p>\n

But WPC isn\u2019t the only modern alternative challenging timber\u2019s dominance.<\/p>\n

Aluminium was once a material you\u2019d associate with sleek commercial buildings and high-end windows and doors \u2013 but now, the style and strength that\u2019s made it so popular in other sectors is now seeing it increasingly adopted elsewhere, too.<\/p>\n

Just this year, for instance, we\u2019ve unveiled our new innovative Synergised \u2122 decking system<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Designed in the UK, Synergised decking is made from structural-grade 6063 T6 aluminium, and finished with a 100 micron Qualicoat\u2122 premium powder coating, making it ideal for high-traffic areas.<\/p>\n

Stylish, versatile fencing<\/strong><\/p>\n

In recent years, we\u2019ve seen aluminium and WPC shake up the fencing market, too.<\/p>\n

Long-lasting, maintenance-free and easy to handle and install, lightweight Marano slats and boards<\/a> come in both a realistic golden oak timber effect finish, and a stylish and contemporary anthracite grey.<\/p>\n

Within the Marano range, you find a variety of different systems.<\/p>\n

Elements is arguably the most versatile<\/a> \u2013 letting you create striking, ultra-modern fencing with a combination of double-sided boards, aluminium strips, and acrylic panels.<\/p>\n

Marano Convex slats<\/a> can be fixed to the external face of virtually any fencing posts, for a striking and quick-to-install privacy fence.<\/p>\n

Our stylish Marano Stripe fencing boards<\/a> are double-sided \u2013 on one side, you find a contemporary flat design, while they feature a traditional grooved effect on the other.<\/p>\n

Speak to F.H. Brundle<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thousands of installers around the country are already benefitting from the strength and stability of WPC and aluminium, among other alternatives \u2013 and if you\u2019re interested in joining them, we\u2019d be delighted to help. www.fhbrundle.co.uk\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2581,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2580","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\nHow the materials of the future are changing the face of Britain\u2019s gardens -
