NexGEN Decking is crafted from 50% recovered hardwood fibre and 50% UV-stabilised high-density polyethylene.

In USA by Fiberon Composites with patented technology.

Long straight lengths, quick and easy installation, never warps, never rots, splinter free, no sanding, no painting, no sealing, no staining, long lasting, scratch resistant, termite resistant and up to a 50 Year, Stain and Fade Warranty.

Virtually none, only occasional cleaning with soap and water or a pressure clean.

NexGEN Decking products are the only ones on the market that solves the three problems composite decking customers complain most about: colour fade, staining, and mould/mildew. Each board has a non-porous surface layer that is co-extruded into the wood fibre (golf ball cover technology). The nonporous cover is what sets our boards apart from all other composites.

The surface will not peel off due to the fact that the surface layer is coextruded into the wood fibre. Under normal conditions, the surface will last indefinitely. If exposed to high wear or abrasion, some wearing is possible. If any of the substrate becomes exposed, this is no cause for alarm because it contains the same UV stabilizers as the rest of the composition and is not affected.

Antimicrobial protection is built-in during the manufacturing process and will not wash off or wear away. It is engineered to provide continuous antimicrobial product protection for the useful lifetime of the product.

Our pricing is similar to a good quality hardwood but of course you will end up saving money each year due to the maintenance requirements of timber.

Lifetime performance warranty to a 50 year Stain, Fade and Performance Warranty on our Select Range.

Each board is pre-grooved on both sides to take a hidden fastener system.

 NexGEN deck boards are suitable for all climates and are sold all over the world where harsh freezing winters and boiling hot summers have put them to the test.

No more slippery than normal timber.

Only cut edges will respond properly to matching stains or quality oil based paint.

Yes it is very DIY friendly and our team is available to assist with any questions.

No it cuts like normal hardwood.

Aluminium’s high thermal conductivity dissipates heat, providing a cooler deck surface than most wood or composite surfaces.

DryDeck aluminium decking is available in three colours – Granite, Artisan Clay and Sandstone.

DryDeck will not age; fade or “weather” like alternative decking materials. It is naturally UV-resistant decking— not subject to the deteriorating effects of direct sunlight and will not splinter, decay or rot. DryDeck meets or exceeds international standards. Additionally, since DryDeck is decking made with aluminium, it is impervious to insects and termites plus the non-porous surface is naturally resistant to fungi, mould and mildew. With DryDeck aluminium deck boards, there’s no time or money spent on routine maintenance like sanding, painting, staining, sealing, or waterproofing. Just years of enjoyment on a deck you will be proud to show off!

No. DryDeck aluminium decking is not slippery. It has a powder-coated finish that provides steady footing in wet or dry conditions. Additionally, the ribbed surface provides additional traction and conceals the hidden fasteners system for a gapless surface.

DryDeck is extruded from a pure aluminium alloy that cannot rust. However, as with other decking materials including wood, composite, or even concrete, steel products that come in contact with DryDeck can rust and even stain DryDeck. Do not store metal objects that could rust and stain your deck on DryDeck. Avoid metal working on DryDeck too. When installing railings, protect DryDeck with a non-plastic drop cloth to prevent grinding dust and weld splatter from settling on the surface of DryDeck.

Yes, we suggest minimum pitch of 1 in 100. This is a minimal pitch that will not be visible to the naked eye but provides a generous slope for water to drain away from the structure.

No. DryDeck can be installed with a minimum number of readily available tools. No special tools are necessary for installation.

DryDeck is a maintenance free decking product – these interlocking deck boards create the surface for your deck. And since it is a deck board it cannot be cantilevered – deck boards should never be cantilevered. A 50mm overhang beyond the fascia on the drainage side is suggested to shield the joists from backsplash due to heavy downpour and ease optional gutter installation.

Yes. DryDeck meets or exceeds deck building code specifications and guidelines for aluminium structures, as recommended by International Building Codes.

Yes, DryDeck was designed to be compatible with ACQ treated lumber. It is produced with a barrier coating (a special powder-coat paint applied at the mill) to prevent ACQ contact with the bare aluminium.

Installing gutters or downpipes is not required, although they can be installed if you would like to incorporate your deck with your landscape architecture and design.

No, DryDeck can not be used as a component as a truss, structural framing applications for joists, rafters, or support beams. DryDeck  should solely be used for deck flooring. It just happens to be watertight deck flooring.

Carbide-tipped non ferrous blade 12” blade-96 tooth, 10” blade 80 tooth, 7 ¼” blade 62 tooth (available at local building supply stores.)

The maximum allowable joist spacing is 600mm on-centre when installing the aluminium deck boards on pre-existing or new joist structures.

DryDeck  Aluminium Deck Boards weigh 1.5kgs per linear metre (approximately ½ the weight of traditional wooden deck boards)

DryJoist is a structural deck drainage system; this means that along with being 100% waterproof, it also replaces the conventional deck joist system you would traditionally use to build your deck.

Other waterproof deck systems on the market are either membrane systems or “under decking” type systems that are installed below your deck joists. Both of those waterproof deck systems come with highly labor-intensive installation processes and are only effective for limited amounts of time.

The component materials used in the DryJoist system are extruded from marine-grade aluminum, which makes them very rigid and extremely durable.  When the DryJoist system is installed, it provides a solid waterproof structure that will never leak. Additionally, DryJoist is mounted on top of your deck frame, which extends the life of framing materials.

DryJoist can be installed by a professional deck builder or the DIY homeowner. DryJoist can be used to build, refurbish or remodel a multitude of outdoor structures such as a:

• Backyard deck
• Second story balcony
• Patio or Porch
• Roof deck or Pool deck
• Walkout carport
• Garage deck

DryJoist is a simple and single structural deck waterproofing system. It is also the first of it’s kind decking system to provide both structural support for the deck’s surface boards, while creating a 100% dry living space below deck. Other applications include landscape architecture such as water harvesting or even a deck cover for outdoor kitchens.

DryJoist provides the ultimate flexibility, with no limitations when it comes to your deck surface options. Obviously we would love you to install our capped composite decking boards onto DryJoist however your choices are almost limitless.  In essence, DryJoist has support every 100 to 150mm which allows you to fasten your deck boards every 100/150/200/250/300mm.

Yes. DryJoist is manufactured using 45% recycled content from industrial and post-consumer aluminium scrap. DryJoist also harvests rainwater—reducing pollution from stormwater runoff. Because of the recycled content and the stormwater management, DryJoist is an environmentally-friendly decking product. As such, this product also assists builders in achieving points toward LEED credits based on the standards set forth by the LEED Green Building Rating System.

No. DryJoist can be installed with a minimum number of readily-available tools. No special tools are necessary for installation.

Yes, we suggest approximately a 1 in 100 downward pitch (away from the house). This is a minimal pitch that will not be visible to the naked eye, yet provides a generous slope for water to drain away from the structure.

Yes. DryJoist meets or exceeds deck building code specifications and guidelines for aluminium structures, as recommended by International Building Codes.

Yes, the maximum allowable edge cantilever for DryJoist is 300mm. A 50mm overhang beyond the header joist on the drainage side is suggested to shield the joists from backsplash due to heavy downpour and ease optional gutter installation.

Yes. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for the correct hidden fastener method when installing your preferred decking surface boards.

It is recommended to use either a mitre or circular (skill) saw with a carbide blade: 300mm blade – 96 teeth / 250mm blade – 80 teeth / 180mm blade – 62 teeth. Saw blades with fewer teeth stay cooler, last longer, and are typically easier to use.

Installing gutters or downpipes is not required, although they can be installed if you would like to incorporate your deck with your landscape architecture and design.
