New Composites Display Area at our Oxford Branch
Whether you’re looking to upgrade an old wooden fence or install a brand new deck area, our top quality composite decking, fencing and cladding products have you covered. But which product should you choose? To help you decide, we’ve installed a brand new display area at our Oxford Branch. Read on to learn more about what you can find there, alongside the key advantages of choosing composite products for your garden over traditional wood.
The AWBS composite garden products range
Over the past few years, the popularity of our composite garden products has increased hugely as people seek out low maintenance alternatives to classic wooden fencing and decking which requires lots of upkeep and will inevitably rot, fade and splinter over time.
As such, AWBS now stock an array of composite products by industry leading brands like Trex and Millboard. This includes weather and fade-resistant post and panel systems in different colours, which interlock to create sturdy fences designed to withstand the elements. We also supply durable, slip-resistant composite decking boards with a textured wood grain effect for an authentic timber finish.
In addition, we now stock a range of composite wall cladding that can be used to add kerb appeal to any brick or block wall, or even the exterior of your home. With a chic sanded surface, four neutral shades to choose from and the option to align them vertically or horizontally, it’s easy to achieve the look you want for your garden with our composite exterior cladding boards.
Benefits of composite materials
Durability
Made from a tough combination of polymer, timber and stone composites, our Trex and Millboard garden products outperform their wood counterparts every time. Composite deck boards are crack resistant and splinter free. Millboard is made from high-strength and non-porous polyurethane, meaning it won’t warp in extreme conditions, while Trex boards are coated in a protectant shell for superior weather protection. In fact, both manufacturers are so sure of their products’ performance that they all come with a 15-25 year residential warranty.
Choice
At AWBS, we have a wide range of composite products in a plethora of different colours and a choice of modern and rustic styles. For example, Millboard Enhance Grain resin mineral decking in contemporary Brushed Basalt grey or Trex Enhance Naturals composite decking in warmer, more traditional Toasted Sand. Whichever style and shade you choose, you’ll benefit from a long-lasting and attractive deck, fence or façade that won’t fade in the sun.
Low-maintenance
As mentioned above, many of our customers are turning to composite materials due to their unrivalled convenience and durability. Once in position, your deck with be ready to use right away and you’ll never need to sand, reseal or repaint your boards as the design is imprinted right the way through the hardwearing plastic material. In addition, the surface can be power washed as needed and the textured finish won’t wear out or depreciate in appearance over time.
Eco-friendly
While our composite products do contain polymers, they also boast a high percentage of recycled materials. Trex decking boards, in particular, consist of a 95% blend of reclaimed timber sawdust and the equivalent of around 2250 plastic bags in recycled plastic film! Plus, given how long the product lasts, you can be sure you’re making an eco-friendly investment.

What’s on display in our brand new garden area
Considering their numerous advantages and rising popularity, we’ve been working on a new area to showcase our many composite garden products at the AWBS Oxford branch. The project was undertaken by four members of our in-house team over the course of several months and the final result is quite something!
Spanning roughly 10m x 35m, this large outdoor display features over 18 styles and colours of our composite decking by Trex and Millboard. It is also surrounded on three sides with Trex composite fencing panels and wall cladding in a plethora of colourways from dark grey to amber to help you envisage what each style might look like in your own outdoor space.
In addition, we’ve created raised planters, a seating area, arbour and even a water feature surround using various composite decking and cladding to show the many things these products can be used to create. Railings have also been installed, as well as lighting in the floor of the deck and stairs to demonstrate how designs can be tailored to meet your needs. You could even create a living wall with your favourite plants and composite wall cladding as a supportive and aesthetically pleasing backdrop.
