Let’s Take it Outside in 2012
Garden decking is a grand new addition to our product catalogue. We spend a great deal of time studying new interior design hardwood flooring innovations, so we though it about time we turn our faces to the sun and put our skilled hands to work crafting exceptional outdoor spaces too. Although we’re experts in engineered hardwood flooring, we find engineered wood floors tend to be more suited to interior use. The best woods for outdoor application are solid woods with great natural resistance to warping and weather. But laying the deck is only half the job. Creating an effective, inviting outdoor space is about clever design, superb facilities and finding the ideal solution for your lifestyle. Here are a few professional tips we’ve picked up along the way. • Define your garden decking space by installing a few luxury features. Things like freestanding heaters, wall-mounted barbeques and parasols can turn a Peckham courtyard into the Med! • Lighting will play a huge role in how much you can use your outdoor space. Invest in some clever ambient lighting that highlights things like garden features and focal points. Hanging lanterns and string lights can be exceptionally brilliant at setting a fun, summery mood. • Great garden furniture needn’t be made of plastic and stored in a spider-ridden shed all winter. Find comfy, modern furniture that suits your reading, eating, playing and socialising needs to a tee! • Take care of your outdoor area by keeping it clean, tidy and always ready for a pleasant afternoon under the sun.
