Screening / FAQs

Ekodeck Screening is less likely to rot, warp, crack or splinter. This is because Ekodeck Screening absorbs less water than timber and is therefore less likely to suffer from damage caused by water e.g. mould and rot.

Like all our products, Ekodeck Screening boards are UV stabilised, meaning that you can be sure that your new Ekodeck Screening won’t fade to grey like timber when exposed to the elements.

As Ekodeck Screening contains natural timber fibres, when these fibres are exposed to UV over a long period of time, these fibres may slightly lose their brightness, as would any other exterior building material.
