Utilising sustainable materials and carefully designed and manufactured to specification, urbanedge_deck242 is a product of and for the modern lifestyle.
The 242mm wide board is an exciting powerful new composite decking. Clean urban design profiles with the sharp delineation of patterns retained in both the fine and coarse profiles.The boards are double sided and the profiles can be mixed should the highlight suit the project.
The structural design of the board ensures spans of 600mm and combined with the hidden fasteners - which act as spacers - provide real cost savings.
The response to the wide board and the designer profile is one of enthusiasm. The visual impact and outstanding quality has been the motivation to find projects that will reward the creative vision.

Certified timber
Timber certifications promote responsible forest management, encouraging the use of sustainably sourced timber products – for example, structural timber, veneers, flooring, windows and doors, and paper products. Chain-of-custody certifications assure consumers that a product has been sourced from a sustainably managed forest.
Emits low VOCs
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emissions from carbon-containing compounds that pollute the air. VOCs are released from many common building products including solvents, paints and lacquers, adhesives, fabrics, carpets, printed paper, board products and composite timber. Rating schemes often categorize VOC content as low, very low, ultra low and zero.
Reduces waste or pollution
Streamlined production processes can reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing. Environmentally responsible manufacturers focus upon reducing emissions, minimizing waste created during production, and ensuring energy-efficient operation. Waste-reducing production can also reduce costs, as manufacturers can make better use of resources.
Made using renewable energy
Many manufacturers now make use of certified renewable energy – energy produced using natural resources such as sun, wind, rain, tides and geothermal heat. Eco-conscious companies choose renewable energy to reduce their carbon footprint, to offset emissions and to fulfil stated environmental objectives. Renewable energy is estimated to supply around 18% of global energy consumption, with biomass (wood burning, for example) the most popular, followed by hydroelectricity and wind power.
Production waste is recyclable
Manufacturing processes inevitably produce waste; environmentally responsible manufacturers ensure this waste is minimized and recyclable. Production waste can sometimes be reprocessed for reuse in the same production process. Alternatively, production waste may be reused in the manufacture of other products or materials (post-industrial recycled content).
Recyclable
Recyclable products and materials can be reprocessed and transformed into new goods at the end of their useful life. Materials composed of a single substance (for example, aluminium or concrete) are generally easier to dismantle and recycle than those composed of multiple substances. Employing recyclable materials offers several benefits – reduced use of new resources, reduced landfill, reduced costs for manufacturers.
Post-consumer recycled content
Consumer goods that have served their purpose, been recycled and reprocessed are considered post-consumer recycled content. This includes products used by households, industry and commerce that, after recycling, can be reused as parts of new products or materials. Examples of post-consumer recycled content include recycled rubber tyres transformed into roofing and flooring products, and old newspaper processed into cellulose insulation.
Post-industrial recycled content
Post-industrial recycled content is essentially scrap material – waste products generated during manufacturing processes that has not been used and will not be reused in the production process. As with post-industrial recycled content, reusing these materials reduces consumption of virgin resources and stops usable industrial by-products from becoming landfill.
