looking to find a premium product that would appeal to the end-users, the merchants and the fitters. “We partnered with Composite Prime due to its ability to consistently innovate and bring new, practical products to market. The range of products available are aesthetically pleasing, easy to install and work well for merchant distributors. The HD Deck XS, Dual, Pro and new 3D products provide the customer with a choice of different styles, colours and finishes to suit all applications.” To support installers and landscaping professionals in designing a decking project, Composite Prime has created an industry- first piece of software which will allow users to obtain a realistic, 3D-rendered view of their products, prior to installation. Accessed via the Composite Prime website, Prime Design, allows installers to virtually construct a decking project, using different colour options, products and sizes, to generate a full bill of materials and provide a detailed quote to their customers. Another driver for Taylor Maxwell partnering with Composite Prime was the environmental benefits to composite decking. “With consumers becoming increasingly ethically-minded, Composite Prime products are the perfect sustainable solution to traditional plastic or timber materials,” said Mr Hammond. “Although traditional timber decking has been the preferred choice for many years, it’s a high maintenance product which requires annual painting and staining. Composite decking, however, is a simple, no fuss alternative due to its unique formula, which makes it more durable than traditional products.”
Composite Prime is the only composite brand member of the Timber Trade Federation, the UK’s foremost membership body for the timber supply chain, promoting best practice uses and installation of wood products, as well as ensuring responsibility across timber trading. Each square metre
of Composite Prime’s decking contains the equivalent of more than 3,000 recycled plastic bottle caps or 280 plastic bottles. In the six years of operation, the brand has saved the equivalent of 90 million plastic milk bottles from landfill. “Partnering with Taylor Maxwell has allowed Composite Prime to build upon its portfolio of stockists and reach a greater number of customers searching for sustainable, reliable and quality decking products,” said Charles Taylor, Composite Prime’s sales director.
“Gardening and the use of outdoor spaces has soared during the pandemic, with homeowners now using gardens as an extension of their home and investing in outdoor spaces. Composite decking is an ideal product to shape outdoor living spaces. Its versatility in colour and texture, allows people to create completely bespoke designs to tailor their outdoor living areas. Furthermore, composite decking can be levelled to match the inside of a house to create greater accessibility and an easier transition between spaces. In addition, numerous safety aspects such as fire ratings, slip resistance and no-splintering also attracts people looking for a product to meet any requirement.” HD Deck Dual®
