To the untrained eye, one has holes in and one doesn’t. But to experts and installers, knowing the difference can completely change the function of your deck.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>![\"solid](\"https:\/\/neotimber.com\/decking\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/06\/NeoTimber-Composite-Decking-Hollow-vs-Solid.jpg\")

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>When it comes down to it, the difference mainly lies with the strength and weight of the boards. You need to be sure of exactly what you want to do with your deck before ordering your composite boards, and we’re here to walk you through making the right decision. These are the key elements to consider when choosing between NeoTimber’s hollow<\/a> and solid<\/a> composite boards.

Basically, it’s important to figure out how much strain you’re intending to put on your deck.

However, the fact of the matter is that solid composite decking boards are more costly than their hollow siblings. More material means more money, so hollow will certainly be better suited to your budget. Hollow boards<\/a> are a fantastic option that take full advantage of our unique design process, giving you the best value for money when compared to other products on the market.

Our solid, densely packed Classic<\/a> and Deluxe<\/a> boards are naturally heavier (approximately 5kg heavier per length) than their hollow alternatives.

This is what makes our Essential<\/a> and Advanced<\/a> deck boards the ideal solution for many one-man decking installation projects.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/span>Our Hollow Composite Boards: Essential<\/a> & Advanced<\/a><\/h2><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Did you know: NeoTimber\u00ae removes only 40% of the material from our hollow composite boards<\/a>, and does so in circular increments.

So, despite removing the core, we made sure to do so in a way that would preserve the best bits of the board.
