ModWood® Decking Perth
ModWood® is an Australian made and owned a composite product made essentially from a mixture of ground sustainable wood waste and plastic from recycled milk bottles. ModWood® products are environmentally friendly, containing no formaldehyde or volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
ModWood® has excellent levels of moisture resistance to keep it from swelling so it stays strong through damp conditions. ModWood®, like natural wood, is vulnerable to colour change with continued exposure to the sunshine and the elements, though it’s worth noting that it takes significantly longer than timber decking to fade.
Maintenance requirements for ModWood® are similar to that of natural timber decking. The lighter coloured boards (brushed) don’t show scuffs and scratches very easily, while darker boards (smooth surface) are more at risk of visible scratches. These can easily be corrected by applying a light application of clear natural decking oil to any scratches.

Benefits of Modwood® DECKING
ModWood® is the distinctly sustainable natural timber decking alternative. Its high-wood base strongly mirrors natural timber. This sustainable decking material is much kinder to the environment than its natural timber counterpart. As long as it’s installed and used as recommended ModWood® will not warp or crack. ModWood® is also entirely splinter-free.
Composite decking is perfect for Australia’s unique conditions; ModWood® with Flame Shield® allows for the most flame retardant decking available in Australia for use in bushfire prone locations. Protection levels are as high as Bushfire-Attack-Level (BAL) 40.
Compared to other timber-based decking, Flame Shield® has the highest BAL rating on the Australian market. Flame Shield® decking can be installed with either an enclosed or unenclosed sub-structure and is offered in all four colours of the ModWood® Natural Grain Collection, with boards that measures 137 x 23mm. Flame Shield® also has a deeply embossed pattern on the board surface to improve slip resistance and is manufactured to R11, AS 4586:2013.

Sound Investment
Modwood® decking is designed to withstand the conditions of Perth’s intense summers better than 100% natural timber decking. With this in mind, ModWood® is an excellent choice if you’re a homeowner who is looking for a low-maintenance, easy, and robust alternative to traditional timber.
While ModWood® composite may initially cost more to purchase than traditional timber decking, it is a sounder financial investment in the long run. ModWood® has more long-term benefits, including minimal maintenance and none of the time or the financial costs of upkeep.
Eco-friendly
Global Green Tag certified ModWood® is created chiefly from recycled materials, including plastics and wood flour – thereby reducing demand for raw timber material. ModWood® uses specialised technology, which is founded on the most recent advances in additives for the wood-plastic industry, globally. All additives are thoroughly tested in ModWood® laboratories to result in a world-class product that is safe and extremely durable.
