Adding the final touches to your deck… what are your composite decking edging options?
Composite decking has the power to transform an ordinary garden into an outdoor living area full of charm and sophistication. While our composite decking boards alone can revitalise any outdoor space, you’ll no doubt be left wanting more. This is where our composite decking edging comes in. Engineered to round off any project with a professional finish, edging is crucial to making your deck look complete. Today, we break down some of our favourite composite decking edging applications in the hopes of inspiring you to spruce up your own project.
Whether you’re finishing off sawn edges, creating crisp lines, or framing your deck as the final touch, NeoTimber® offers an extensive range of edging options. True, it can be difficult to determine exactly what would be best for your project, so we’ve designed this guide to help. Let us take you through the ranges we offer and how they can prevent your project from stumbling at the final hurdle.
NeoTimber’s Range of Composite Decking Fascia & Edging Options
NeoTimber® offers three composite edging solutions that are colour-matched to our range of composite decking products. An edge board and two types of composite decking trim are designed to help you to seamlessly finish your deck.
Composite Decking Corner Trims
A composite decking edge trim that tidies up any unsightly edges and can offer a framed perimeter to your deck. Made from the same composite material as our decking, our L-Shaped profiles can be easily trimmed to length to suit any size, shape, or orientation. This makes them an ideal choice for capping off butt-ends of boards, as well as exposed board grooves on the edge of your project. Neatness has never been so easy.
Composite Decking Skirting Trims
Skirting trim is a solid composite decking edge trim designed to make it easier for you to finish exposed edges, especially in the case of a low-lying deck. Available in a sanded finish, these thin and narrow boards match all of our available decking colours. These products are also designed to be more flexible, allowing the immediate clean up of edge curves. Top if all off with NeoTimber’s coloured trim screws, and you’ve got an instant edging solution to play around with.
Composite Decking Edge Boards
NeoTimber’s composite edge boards are an ideal solution for stair risers, picture frame borders, and creating part of your composite decking fascia. Finished in either a woodgrain or grooved finish, they bear the closest resemblance to our composite deck boards. As such, they help to create a flush, uniform look that’s bound to wow your friends and family.
So, What Decking Edging Option Would Work Best for My Project?
While composite decking edging options can seem confusing, we thought we would simplify things by showing you how these products can look in-situ – giving you decking inspiration for your project. Note that our edging options are not mutually exclusive; they’re designed to synergise. After all, we want you to have the best looking deck out there, and these examples will showcase just how easy it is.
Corner Trim Perimeter
Framing an entire deck with a corner trim perimeter is a neat and tidy way to deck up to a wall perimeter.
Corner Trim & Deck Boards
Use corner trims to sharpen corners and cap off exposed edges. Decking board butt-ends aren’t the prettiest to look at, so a corner trim finishes off the job nicely.
Skirting Trim as Decking Fascia
Made of a thinner, narrow composite board profile, the skirting trim is ideal for low-lying projects. Perfect for hiding unsightly joists, preventing unwanted lawn growth, and bending to fit curved edges.
Edge Boards & Deck Boards
Installing deck boards on a vertical fascia keeps your decking installation looking consistent. An additional edge board to cap the edge hides the clip channel, making for a clean finish.
Installing Edge Boards on a Tread or Rise
These can be installed individually as a riser (acting as a composite decking fascia board), or on the tread of your decking steps, which looks excellent with a slight overhang.
