Decking · Perth
The look of timber, with far less upkeep.
For inspirationComposite decking in Perth
Composite decking suits homeowners who want a crisp, consistent finish without regular oiling. We install capped composite boards on properly designed frames, with hidden fixings and clean edge details, and we're straightforward about the trade-offs.
Why it’s worth doing well
No oiling
An occasional wash is usually all it needs to stay looking clean.
Consistent finish
Even colour and grain from board to board, with matching fascia and step boards.
Hidden fixings
Clip systems give an uninterrupted surface with no visible screws.
Long manufacturer warranties
Most major brands carry long product warranties. We'll explain what's covered.
Materials
What we work with
We’ll bring samples to the site visit so you can see colour and grain in your own light. Compare materials.
- Capped composite
- A protective outer shell resists staining and fading. The most common choice for residential decks.
- Lighter colours
- Stay noticeably cooler underfoot in summer than dark greys and browns.
- Aluminium or steel framing
- An option for low-clearance or long-life builds, and a good match for composite boards.

Before you start
Things to consider
- Darker boards get hot in direct summer sun. Colour choice matters in Perth.
- Composite expands with heat, so the manufacturer's gapping must be followed.
- Correct joist spacing and ventilation are required to keep warranties valid.
- Some decks, pergolas and structures need a building permit from your local council, depending on height, size and location. We will explain what applies to your project before any work begins.

FAQ
Composite decking questions
Does composite decking get hot?
All decking warms up in the sun, and dark composite can get very hot. Lighter colours and newer heat-reflective boards help. We'll show you samples in your actual position.
Is composite more expensive than timber?
It usually sits between treated pine and premium hardwoods for the boards themselves, but it saves on oiling over the life of the deck.
Can composite go over my existing timber frame?
Sometimes. Composite often needs closer joist spacing than timber, so an existing frame may need adjusting. We check this on site.
