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, our customers find that without a few finishing touches, their project can look incomplete or maybe even a little underwhelming. It stands to reason that you would want to look at composite decking edging for a professional finish and we find that composite decking edging is a crucial part of most projects.
We’ve spoken with a variety of installers to decide on the NeoTimber range of composite edging options. You can finish off sawn edges, create crisp lines and frame your deck seamlessly. With NeoTimber® offering an extensive range of edging options, it can be difficult to determine exactly what would be best for your requirements. This guide is designed to introduce the ranges we offer and then showcase how they can be used in the installation process to put the finishing touches on your project.
NeoTimber’s Range Of Composite Decking Fascia & Edging Options
NeoTimber® offer a range of three composite edging solutions that are colour-matched to their 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. An L-shaped profile composed of the same composite material as our decking, it can be easily trimmed to length and is the ideal solution when capping off butt-ends of boards and the exposed grooves of boards on the edge of a project.
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 and so can be readily used to edge curves by fixing with NeoTimber® coloured trim screws.
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 are the most consistent in look and finish to the composite deck boards, giving crisp clean lines to your decking edge and creating a flush, uniform look.
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 work well together too and the list below is designed to show just that!
Corner Trim Perimeter
Framing an entire deck with a corner trim perimeter is neat and tidy and works well if you are decking up to a wall perimeter.
Corner Trim & Deck Boards
Use corner trims to sharpen corners and for capping off exposed edges. The butt-end of any deck board can look a little untidy 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, hiding unsightly joists and preventing unwanted lawn growth. Built with a degree of flexibility, the skirting trim is ideal for 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 which would naturally be visible otherwise.
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.
