Why Choose NewTechWood
Each Board is Fully Capped
With NewTechWood fully capping all surfaces of each board, you never need to worry about warping, swelling, UV rays, moisture, fading, or insects.
There are variations of capped composite timber on the market, such as half capped, where only the top of the board is coated, others may not coat the indented groove, and in some cases, the coating contains a wood powder, which means your boards are still susceptible to the elements.
Ultra Low-Maintenance
When you purchase NewTechWood products you will be amazed at the minimal time you’ll need to spend maintaining it. That’s because with NewTechWood there is no sanding, oiling, or painting required for the upkeep of our products.
Of course, your deck, fence, cladding, or screening may get dusty and dirty from day-to-day living and environmental factors. So, to keep your NewTechWood timber looking its best, simply clean it with water using a mop or soft broom to remove any unwanted build-up. To make cleaning even easier, we have developed DECKWash, an Australian-made, eco-friendly, and simple-to-use cleaning product that can be used on any timber or composite product. Sit back, relax, and enjoy time spent in your outdoor space with NewTechWood.

The Most Natural Timber Look
NewTechWood boasts the most natural-looking composite timber products on the market. Our range features a treatment coating, resulting in a matte finish with a realistic, fibrous texture. This fine-grained texture gives the boards an authentic timber look and is even to the touch – no concern for splinters with NewTechWood.
Our colours are multi-chromatic, emulating the variations of colour hues which are found in natural timber, so each NewTechWood board is unique.
