Will the black boards fade over time?

Yes, a slight fade of around 15-20% is expected due to UV exposure. However, our black colour holds up especially well in the sunshine and does not fade more than any other colour.

Can I install this black decking myself?

Absolutely! Our black composite decking is made for easy DIY installation. Use the grooved edges with our hidden clip system for a clean, seamless finish with no visible screws, no splinters, no stress.

Does black decking get hot in the sun?

Yes, Black decking can get warmer than lighter colours under direct sunlight. We recommend using outdoor rugs or furniture in high-sun areas for extra comfort underfoot.

Is black composite decking safe for kids and pets?

Definitely! In fact, because black composite decking is splinter-free, slip-resistant, and doesn’t overheat like metal, it’s an excellent option for families and furry friends, we do recommend using outdoor rugs and footwear on a summer day, as black composite boards can get hot.

Expert Advice On Our Black Composite Decking

Want to know more? Our in-house expert, Allan, gives his take on our Black Composite Decking, and we’ve selected some of our best guides to help you decide if this is the right choice for you.

A Word from Our Expert, Allan:

We always hear comments like “sleek, modern, and bold” about our Black decking. Its sanded surface shows minimal colour change over the years, and the dark finish is great for hiding minor, everyday scuffs and marks. It’s part of our original Home Choice Collection, so it’s a board that’s been tried and tested for nearly a decade and offers the perfect mix of quality and real value.

But the key secret we’ve learned from customers is that, because of its sanded surface, you can actually blend away most light scratches with a soft wire brush. It’s that combination of a great look and unique, easy maintenance that makes this such a popular choice.
