Options for the structure and framework materials for your Best Deck composite wood products

Underestimating the importance of the structure or framework is a costly mistake that Best Deck frequently encounters and addresses. In the installation of composite wood products, ensuring a solid, rigid construction using the highest quality materials is paramount. This approach guarantees the longevity of the composite wood products, helping them to exceed their expected lifespan and outlast their warranties for the specific application.

The financial implications of not securing the best structure or framework options become apparent over time. At Best Deck, our experience has taught us to always over-engineer the framework rather than merely meeting standard installation requirements. Over-engineering does not necessarily entail significant additional costs — in many cases, there are no extra costs at all. It involves paying attention to detail and ensuring the structure or framework is rigid in every aspect. These efforts will ultimately make a significant difference to the long-term durability and performance of your composite wood products.

The framework or structure serves as the foundation for any planking system installed upon it. Similar to constructing a house, if you build on a poor foundation, the building will eventually fail. Likewise, if you install composite wood planking on a subpar or incorrectly installed framework, the product will ultimately fail. Ensuring a strong and properly installed foundation is essential to the success and longevity of your composite wood planking system.

At Best Deck, we have learned through experience and know the best structure or framework options for any given application. Coupled with our expertise in the commercial application of all our Best Deck composite wood products, we are specialists in what we do.

When Best Deck quotes on turnkey supply-and-install options, you are assured that we have provided the very best of everything. If Best Deck is handling your project, we guarantee all aspects, including the structure or framework, ensuring it is built correctly to exceed its intended lifespan.

Additionally, when Best Deck is your contractor of choice, consider the following:

1. Over-Engineered framework Our installation ensures that the structure or framework is over-engineered to last beyond its designed timeframe.
2. Proper planking installation We adhere strictly to the correct installation methods, avoiding back-to-back composite wood planking. Instead, we use what Best Deck refers to as a breaker board, which not only enhances aesthetic appeal but can also be done in a contrasting colour for a beautiful finish. Breaker boards ensure no back-to-back joins in a Best Deck installation.

At Best Deck, we strive for the very best end result for every project. A lot of companies fall short here. This is where, when it comes to comparing prices, it is critical that one is comparing a specialist in the industry’s price to another specialist in the industry’s price. Is the structure or framework material of the same specifications (size, thickness, and even type)?

Daily, we deal with enquiries where the potential client is comparing a timber deck structure to a galvanised steel structure. Although the galvanised steel price often is not much different to natural timber, this isn’t a wise approach to an apples-for-apples comparison.

The finishing details must receive the attention they deserve, as this are what everyone notices. At Best Deck, we fully understand this important concept. We know that even if we build a stunning 500 square metre deck, just one or two loose fascias can spoil the entire appearance. Until those are fixed, our client won’t appreciate the beautiful deck — they’ll only see the flaws. We get that.

When Best Deck supplies and installs your composite wood project, this includes our structure or framework and our full-time after-sales service team. We have full confidence that any maintenance issue under the Best Deck guarantee will be minor and easily resolved.

As in every industry, things can occasionally go wrong. At Best Deck, we prioritise efficiently addressing customer service-related issues. Your satisfaction is our priority.

The reason all of this information is relevant to our composite wood material structure page, is that achieving the desired end result requires starting with the correct foundation — the structure or framework.

Best Deck supplies all our products to anyone who wishes to purchase them. We have contractors and clients both nationally in South Africa, in southern Africa as well as further afield internationally.

At Best Deck, we go out of our way to ensure our clients always receive the best service.

We ask that when enquiring or ordering a product, you provide accurate information relating to your request. This is crucial for both parties to be on the same page.
