Low Maintenance Composite Decking Ideal for Retirement Housing

BiForm Solid Composite Decking has a proven track record in New Zealand over the course of the past 15 years.

BiForm's composition made up of 60% recycled timber and 30% recycled plastic means getting the best of both worlds — the natural timber decking look and the durability and low maintenance of the recycled plastic.

In retirement/aged care housing situations, using low maintenance products is a must. By doing so, the pressure of upkeep is taken off the residents, and time and cost savings can be made.

Timber decks are beautiful to look at, however, they require a lot of effort and money to keep them looking that way. BiForm Solid Composite Decking is an ideal solution. There is no need for oiling, staining or painting but the natural look of timber can still be achieved.

When specifying BiForm, designers know that they are going to get a product that adds value to their retirement/aged care housing projects, both practically and aesthetically.
