BiForm Composite a Versatile Option for More than just Decks

It has taken a while, but the advantages of wood plastic composite as a decking material are finally becoming well known in the building industry.

The next step is realising and understanding that the BiForm benefits can be reaped through other areas of outdoor spaces.

Recent creativity has seen BiForm decking boards being used not only as a decking material, but also for seating, privacy screening/fencing, planter boxes, spa pool housing, outdoor kitchens and even an outdoor shower!

BiForm Solid Composite Decking has an 18 year track record of offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional timber. Through further development and improvement the BiForm wood plastic composite is one that ticks many boxes.

The low maintenance nature of the product means that you no longer have to spend your precious time and money oiling or staining your deck.

BiForm offers the only BRANZ appraised decking on the market, having carried out extensive testing to the New Zealand Building Code as well as durability testing in New Zealand's harsh weathering conditions.

Perhaps most importantly, BiForm Solid Composite Decking is family-safe with an R11 slip resistance rating, no cracking, splintering, twisting or warping as well as no toxic chemicals users have that peace of mind.
