10 Reasons to Choose DeckWright Anti-Slip Timber Decking For Your Commercial Project

When considering decking options for a project, be it a small landscaping job in a garden or a large commercial project, you need to be sure you’re making the right decision. 

We’ve put together a few reasons why you should be using anti-slip timber decking for your project.

1.	Safety - Commercial projects need to be safe for end-users, especially those with high footfall. DeckWright anti-slip decking has a high Pendulum Test Value (PTV). The minimum requirement for decking to be classed as non-slip is a PTV score of 36, anything above that is classed as non-slip. DeckWright’s PTV score is 71, far exceeding the minimum requirement. Our decking has been trusted to be used in large commercial projects, providing a sure-footed experience for end-users. Our boards have also been independently tested and approved by the Health & Safety Laboratory in Buxton, in accordance with British Standard BS 7976: 2002.

2.	Durability – We all strive for high-quality completed projects that impress the customer and improve your reputation. Our decking looks highly impressive with its natural appearance and has solid structural integrity. Composite counterparts are hollow with little to no structure and rely heavily on the timber frame they’re laid on. If projects are due heavy foot traffic, you must have the confidence that your decking is structurally sound, DeckWright’s timber boards are solid timber boards with grooved profiles.

3.	Sustainably Sourced Timber – DeckWright’s timber boards are PEFC & FSC certified meaning they’re made from sustainably sourced timber. We encourage all projects on a commercial level to use and source sustainable products where possible to minimise environmental impacts. 

4.	In-House Delivery – DeckWright have a fleet of HGVs that are capable of delivering decking to your project site, be this all in one go or in a steady delivery schedule to help with storage if space is an issue at your project site. 

5.	No Minimum or Maximum Orders – Some projects are larger than others which is why we will price any job large or small. Our decking boards have their place in any size project and we’re geared up for anything. Our production facilities in the North & South of England are capable of producing large amounts of boards quickly and efficiently. 

6.	Coloured Grooves – Our decking boards use high-quality aggregate for our inserts, the standard inserts are a natural aggregate grey colour which looks great with any species of timber board. If you require something a little different for your project, we’re able to provide different coloured inserts as part of our service. This could be to meet a client’s brand colours or simply to help highlight the anti-slip inserts so they’re more prominent for end-users to see when walking.

7.	Anti-slip your own boards – DeckWright’s stock boards are not the only boards that are available for your project. We also provide our anti-slip service allowing you to specify your own board sizes and profiles. This is a great option for those looking for a thicker board. Given the fact we have to anti-slip treat your boards prior to Use Class treating the boards, we also offer a treatment service as part of the DeckWright experience.

8.	Hardwood or softwood options – We can meet any specification for boards and our treatment can be applied to a range of timber species. If your project requires specifically to use hardwoods, then we’ve got you covered. 

9.	Easy to install – Another amazing benefit of using our anti-slip decking is that the boards are very easy to install. This can be highly beneficial to projects with larger amounts of decking boards to install as it can vastly reduce your instal times, speeding up project programmes.
