Project Story
Modern Ash & Graphite Decking with Wrap-Around Steps: Westbrook, Warrington
The Challenge
The client in Westbrook wanted an outdoor space that would serve as a major focal point for their home. They were looking for a clean, "grey-scale" aesthetic and required an inviting, open entrance to the deck that allowed for easy access from multiple angles of the garden.
The DecKing Solution
We combined precision joinery with high-tech additions to deliver a premium finish:
-
The Ash & Graphite Contrast: We used light Ash boards for the main platform to brighten the garden, framed by a dark Graphite border. This "picture-frame" technique adds depth and a professional designer feel.
-
Bespoke Wrap-Around Step: To create a grand entrance, we designed a wide, wrap-around step that follows the perimeter of the deck. This opens up the space and provides additional "perch" seating for social gatherings.
-
Remote-Controlled Multi-Colour Lighting: To transition the space for evening use, we integrated a professional LED lighting system. Controlled by remote, the homeowners can switch between vibrant colours or a classic warm white.
-
Seamless Finish: Using a hidden fixing system, the entire surface is completely screw-free, ensuring the sleek lines of the composite remain the star of the show.
The Result
Homeowners in Westbrook and Callands are increasingly choosing framed composite designs for their practicality:
-
Defined Edges: The dark Graphite border clearly marks the edge of the deck and the wrap-around step, providing extra safety in low-light conditions.
-
Contemporary Match: The Ash/Graphite tones are a perfect match for modern grey bifold doors and window frames common in Westbrook properties.
-
Low Maintenance: Unlike traditional timber, this deck is rot-proof and slip-resistant, requiring only a simple wash to stay looking brand new.
