PRODUCT NEWS
TALASEY – one of the UK’s leading independent suppliers of landscaping solutions – is launching a groundbreaking collection of composite decking that features 4K high-definition wood imaging. Although Pioneer is a real gamechanger, it can still be easily installed by experienced DIYers working on home landscaping projects.
Key features: It uses PMMA technology (a versatile transparent thermoplastic) that has been adapted from high-performance applications in industries such as aerospace.
The 4K resolution captures every grain and texture with ultra-precision and blends an incredibly realistic hardwood timber aesthetic with industry- leading board resilience and durability.
It comes in three options: Natural Ipe (a luxurious espresso-brown base with subtle golden undertones), Jacaranda (a lively and bold grain, featuring sweeping caramel and honeyed tones with deeper, smoky contrasts) and Darker Oak (deep chocolate hues softened by warm amber streaks on a whitewashed background).
Key benefits: It can be installed in half the time of standard composite decking – the boards’ stronger core means the joist centres can be further apart.
It uses technology developed for use in aeroplane windows – this protects the deck boards.
It outlasts timber by up to four times – meaning fewer replacements and less waste. It’s proven sustainability, all the way.
