BiForm Solid Composite Decking Stands Up to NZ's Harsh Sun

With summer around the corner, decking season is upon us. It is no secret that the New Zealand sunshine is harsh. It orbits closer to the sun during summertime and the fact the air is a lot less polluted than other countries contributes to intense UV rays, and then there's the hole in the ozone layer.

Many composite decking boards aren't made to withstand these conditions, and end up taking a beating from harsh UV rays. BiForm offers a solution with their well-tested solid composite decking boards.

As the only decking on the market with a BRANZ appraisal, BiForm takes pride in knowing that its composite decking has been specifically developed by New Zealanders for New Zealand weather conditions and promises no warping or cracking.

Made from 60% waste timber fibre and 30% recycled HDPE plastic, BiForm composite decking is an eco-friendly option backed by a 25 year warranty.

A low maintenance, hassle-free product with no oiling or staining needed, it is extremely family-friendly with no chemicals used in production, and the hidden fixing clip system means there will be no splintering or nails popping up.

BiForm composite decking boards are very versatile and are perfect for use on residential, commercial, education, aged-care projects as well as projects near water.
