Composite Decking in Merseyside and Cheshire: Why Homeowners Are Making the Switch in 2025

In 2025, more homeowners than ever in Merseyside and Cheshire are upgrading their gardens with composite decking. With unpredictable British weather, busier lifestyles, and a growing focus on sustainable materials, it’s no surprise that premium brands like NewTechWood and Millboard are becoming the go-to choice for stylish, low-maintenance outdoor living.

As a specialist in designing and building composite decking projects across Merseyside and Cheshire, we’ve seen first-hand why so many families are saying goodbye to traditional timber decks and making the switch.

Durability That Stands Up to Our Climate

Traditional timber decking can warp, crack, or become slippery in our damp climate. Composite decking boards — made from a mix of recycled wood fibres and polymers — are built to last without rotting, splintering, or requiring annual treatments.

At Duralive Decking, we install only premium brands such as:

●     NewTechWood Naturale Range – Known for its super hard-wearing Ultrashield surface, colour stability and low maintenance.

●     Millboard – A moulded polyurethane board with unmatched beauty and slip resistance.

●     Trex - A global leader in composite decking which has been a trusted manufacturer for decades.

With all three options, you get decades of use with minimal upkeep — perfect for busy households.

Low Maintenance = More Time to Enjoy Your Garden

Gone are the days of sanding, staining, and sealing your deck every spring. Composite decking needs little more than a wash down with soapy water a couple of times a year. That means:

●     No costly annual treatments

●     No weekends lost to maintenance

●     Consistently beautiful appearance year after year

Stylish, Custom Designs for Homeowners

Whether you live in a Victorian terrace in Liverpool, a new build in Warrington, or a countryside property in Cheshire, composite decking offers a huge range of colours, textures, and layouts to suit your garden.

We also design integrated seating, LED lighting, and matching cladding to create a seamless outdoor living space. Popular 2025 trends include:

●     Light grey and smoked oak tones for a modern look

●     Slatted composite screens for privacy and wind protection

●     Built-in planters and benches for a functional, stylish finish

●     Aluminium, louvred roof pergolas for relaxing outdoors come rain or shine

Eco-Friendly Choice

Composite decking helps reduce waste by using recycled materials. For example, Trex decking boards are made from 95% recycled and reclaimed material. Choosing composite means enjoying a luxury outdoor space while reducing your environmental footprint.

Long-Term Value for Money

While composite decking costs more initially than timber, it pays for itself over time. With rot-proof recycled plastic sub-frames, corrosion-resistant fixings, and premium boards, you can avoid the costly repairs and replacements that often come with wooden decking.
