Select decking boards by material

With our decking boards for outdoor use, you can design patios, balconies, paths, or seating areas. At Gunreben, you generally choose between wood decking boards and WPC decking boards. The two variants differ primarily in material effect, maintenance requirements, haptics, color change, and surface.

Choose the material that suits your project. Wood has a particularly natural appearance and changes over time. WPC is easier to maintain, splinter-resistant, and offers a more uniform look. This allows you to plan your patio according to its intended use, desired appearance, and maintenance effort.

Advantages of decking boards

• Cozy outdoor areas
  Decking boards create walkable surfaces for patios, balconies, seating areas, or gardens
• Material of your choice
  Wood and WPC offer different aesthetics, surfaces, and maintenance properties
• Pleasant feel underfoot
  Decking boards feel more comfortable than stone or concrete surfaces, creating a warm and inviting outdoor space
• Many design options
  Wood species, colors, profiles, and surfaces influence whether the patio appears natural, modern, serene, or striking

Wood or WPC decking boards?

When choosing the right decking board, the material comes first. While wooden decking boards impress with their natural grain, individual color nuances, and vibrant haptics, WPC boards stand out due to their uniform appearance, lower maintenance, and uncomplicated handling in everyday life.

Wood decking boards

Natural patio with a real wood surface

• Natural grain
  Each board shows the structure, color, and pattern of the respective wood species
• Selection by wood species
  Garapa, Bangkirai, Cumaru, Ipe, Douglas Fir, Larch or Thermo wood differ in color, hardness, and durability
• Patina due to weathering
  Wooden decks change visibly outdoors and will develop a natural grey patina without regular oiling

WPC decking boards

Patio with a modern look and lower maintenance effort

• Lower maintenance effort
  WPC does not need regular oiling and is easy to clean for daily use
• Splinter-resistant and comfortable to walk on
  Depending on the design, the surface is well-suited for patios, balconies, garden paths, or areas around the pool
• Colors and textures selectable
  Grey, brown, or textured surfaces allow for a calm, modern, or more striking patio design

Planning, assembly, and maintenance

Decking boards should be selected based on the substrate, slope, ventilation, fastening, and usage. It is particularly important that the chosen material matches your desired level of maintenance: wood requires more care and changes more naturally, whereas WPC remains easier to maintain and more uniform in daily life.
