Tek-Dek Composite Decking

Tek-Dek is a PVC-based, non-skid deck surfacing material which is said to look like teak but costs around 35 percent less.

Tek-Dek sheeting can accommodate any shape because it is cut and worked with a knife. It can then be glued to any deck surface, fades only marginally in sunlight, is not coated and can be sanded if necessary. Stain-resistant, the sheeting can be cleaned with adhesive-removal wipes.

The composite material is available in three styles and compositions: Tek-Dek Interior, Tek-Dek Flexible, and Tek-Dek Professional.

Tek-Dek Interior is said to be simple to lay, easy to clean, and hard-wearing. The material is available in 12 colours, ranging from dark brown to near-white, and has a wide selection of traditional wood-grain effects. Available in 50mm or 102mm waterproof planking, caulking can be in black or white.

Tek-Dek Flexible is supplied in easy-to-manage 2.25m strips. Installation needs only a craft knife and adhesive spreader.

Tek-Dek Professional combines hardwood fibres and thermo-polymers to create a hard material which is said to resist crushing so deck fittings can be mounted through the deck. Tek-Dek Professional can be shaped with routers or planes if needed.
