ENiTo Decking and Flooring – Safe and Slip resistance
There is a duty of care upon flooring designers, manufacturers, distributors, installers, contractors, and on the architects who specify flooring products, to ensure that flooring surfaces are 'fit for purpose' and do not pose a safety risk. One of the key components of safety is defining how slippery the floor is; this is known as its 'slip resistance'.
Over the last few years, increased importance has been placed on designing-out the risk of slipping on floor coverings in commercial applications in regular contact with water, which cause floor coverings to have less adherence than if they were dry. ENiTo is proud to inform you that the decking and in-door flooring has been tested under the British Pendulum test and are rated, above excellent. For full explanation on the test and it’s results.
I am sure that you have noticed the increasing trend towards Composite decking.
We suggest that only wood is wood. Hardwood decking will likely have a durability of 40 years if oiled yearly. A wood deck can be refinished every few years to look like new again.
You cannot refinish a composite deck—you simply replace it. 5 years from now, your composite deck will look like a 5 year old composite deck—with scratches and stains.
Coupling Vinyl with Wood, offered a strong but flexible product without as much temperature growth over time. They missed a couple of factors however. The “Pulp” wood they use is made up of fiber (small wood particles) that is of species not known for outdoor durability such as pine, spruce and bark from these trees. It’s basically the wood left over that isn’t good enough to use to make paper.
Since this wood absorbs moisture, then dispels it this creates a pocket within the vinyl that soaks up moisture every time it gets wet. Over time ... black mold—like an un-vented shower stall and it will never subside. Cleaners may make it look alright for a few days—but it will always come back. Apparently they still have issues.
Most important...
When buried in a landfill—composite decking may very well last forever. They say a plastic shopping bag will last 1000 years underground, I bet the composite decking will also do just as well. Long after you have tired of your stylish composite deck, it won’t be recycled; it will go to the landfill with the plastic patio chairs and the rest of the plastic packaging.
The most common building material for outdoor decks is still wood.
