What is Cladco five-hole decking made from – what makes it different to others on the market?

Like all of Cladcos’ Composite products, five-hole decking is made from a mixture of recycled materials - 40% recycled plastics and 60% recycled FSC accredited wood-fibres, blended with a mixture of bonding agents, tint and other additives. This composition enables the product to be robust, low-maintenance and cheaper than timber decking. Unlike traditional timber decking, Cladco composite decking is long lasting and low maintenance meaning Autumn and Winter weather will not have you slipping on timber, the low slip properties mean its safe all year round.  

All Cladco Composite Products are environmentally friendly, so you can redesign your garden and feel happy at the thought you’re doing your bit for the environment.
