Our Classic Composite Decking delivers the natural look of timber with the practicality of composite, at an affordable price point. Made from 60% wood fibre and 30% recycled HDPE, it offers lasting performance without the upkeep of traditional decking.
Each board is reversible, with a choice of a wood-grain texture or clean grooved profile.
IMPORTANT NOTE: As with all uncapped composites, Dex Classic will naturally lighten in the first few months before settling into a consistent, weathered tone. The boards remain resistant to algae, rot, splintering and warping, ensuring long-term reliability even as the colour softens.
Available in five colours - Black, Brown, Natural, Grey and Teak - our classic board suits residential and light commercial projects where style and value matter.
Installation is simple with the hidden clip system, creating a clean finish and allowing effective drainage between boards.
Boards require no staining or painting, a simple occasional clean is enough to maintain their finish.

Installation Guidance
* Allow boards to acclimatise on site for 72 hours before installation.
* Do not install below 5°C.
* Subframe centres: max 350mm.
* Keep 15mm clearance from walls/obstacles for expansion.
* Allow 8mm gap on butt joints.
* Subframe must be fixed securely with expansion screws at 300–400mm spacing.
* Always ensure sufficient drainage and ventilation under the deck.
* Gradient: 1–1.5% away from walls for water runoff.
* Use hidden clips (pre-drill with 2.5mm bit) on every joist.
* Joists should be doubled up at butt joints for full support.
* Angle trims should be fixed with STORMFix adhesive, not screws.
Weathering & Care
* Boards will naturally lighten within 12 months before stabilising.
* Water marks/tannins may appear in early months - these fade with weathering.
* Clean periodically with hot water and a soft brush.
* Do not use bleach or harsh detergents.
* Avoid direct ground contact (soil/grass) or poorly ventilated areas.
