Fab Select Capped Decking wraps a composite core in a bonded polymer shell. The cap is what does the work: it seals the board against moisture, and holds its colour against sun and foot traffic far longer than an uncapped board will.

The face carries a deep embossed woodgrain. The core is hollow, with circular voids running the length of the board, which keeps it manageable to lift, cut and fix.

Boards are 2.9m long, 140mm wide and 25mm deep. Supplied in five colours: Black, Grey, Ash, Oak and Brown.

Does composite need painting, staining or sealing?

No. That is most of the reason people choose it. Composite boards are wood fibre bound in polymer, so there is nothing to feed, no grain to open up and nothing to reseal each spring. Washing it down occasionally is the whole maintenance schedule.

Will the colour fade?

It will settle. Most composite lightens a little over the first few months of UV exposure and then stays where it is — that initial change is normal and is not a fault. Capped boards, which carry a bonded outer skin, hold their colour and resist staining noticeably better than uncapped ones.

Because of that settling, it is worth ordering the whole job in one go so everything weathers together, and keeping a couple of spare boards from the same batch.

Does composite expand and contract?

Yes, mostly along its length and mostly with temperature. That is why fixing clips and expansion gaps at the ends of boards are not optional — a run laid tight to a wall in March will find nowhere to go in July. Follow the gap specified for the board and use the matching clip system rather than face-screwing it down.

What joist spacing does composite decking need?

Closer than timber decking. Around 300mm centres is a common figure for a domestic deck laid square, and closer again if the boards run diagonally, because the effective span between supports is longer. Under-supporting composite makes it feel bouncy and is very difficult to correct afterwards.

Can I use composite cladding and decking together?

Yes, and the colours are matched across the ranges, so a deck and the cladding behind it can be specified as one. Worth checking with us that they are from the same generation of board before ordering, because the surface texture differs between them.
