Tired of your outdoor space constantly battling the harsh Aussie elements? Updating your deck shouldn’t be a yearly headache, even in Australia’s tough climate, where sun, rain and coastal air take their toll. That’s where composite decking steps in – forget the endless sanding, staining and paining of natural timber.
NewTechWood’s composite decking offers a smart alternative to traditional timber, combining the natural beauty you crave without the relentless upkeep you dread.
Whether you’re renovating or starting fresh, it’s designed to handle the elements with ease while keeping upkeep minimal.
Why Choose NewTechWood Composite Decking?
Why It’s Better Than Traditional Wood
NewTechWood composite boards stand above traditional timber decking. While wood may look beautiful initially, it often deteriorates over time. It’s vulnerable to splintering, rotting and fading from harsh weather. In contrast, NewTechWood is engineered to resist these issues, making it a smarter, more sustainable option for homeowners.
Crafted from recycled hard and soft wood and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic, it’s both durable and eco-friendly. Using recycled materials reduces timber demand, helping preserve Australia’s forests and wildlife. Composite decking is moisture-resistant, making it ideal for rainy or humid climates. From scorching summers to coastal humidity, NewTechWood decking is built to last.
Unlike timber, which needs regular sealing, staining and sanding, NewTechWood offers a low-maintenance alternative. No more worrying about peeling paint or faded finishes. Just a deck you can enjoy year after year.
An Investment That Pays Off
While NewTechWood may cost slightly more upfront than timber alternatives, the long-term savings are clear. Maintaining a wood deck, consistent staining, sealing and repairing, adds up over time. NewTechWood requires minimal upkeep, saving time and money.
Its durability means you won’t be replacing boards every few years. With NewTechWood decking, cladding and screening backed by a 25-year warranty, it offers peace of mind and lasting value. A smart investment for any outdoor project.
Eco-Friendly Choice
NewTechWood’s composite decking is a win for the environment. Made from recycled plastic and wood fibres, it reduces waste and promotes sustainability. Timber decking requires tree felling, contributing to deforestation and habitat loss. In contrast, NewTechWood’s innovative material helps lower environmental impact while delivering high performance and visual appeal.
By choosing NewTechWood, you’re not only upgrading your space, you’re also making a positive environmental choice. Its eco-friendly make up ensures your renovation aligns with sustainable living.
Key Features of NewTechWood Composite Decking
When you choose NewTechWood composite decking, you’re investing in a level of quality and comprehensive protection that our competitors simply can’t match, especially not across their entire product line. You’re building with the benchmark in durability, versatility, quality and sustainability – and reaping the benefits for it.
Material Composition – Setting a Higher Standard
The secret to NewTechWood’s exceptional durability lies in its advanced composite formula. The decking boards core is made from a blend of recycled wood fibres and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic, while innovative capping creates an impervious barrier and provides superior resistance to moisture, mould, warping, and fading—ensuring your deck will look great even in the harshest Australian weather conditions.
But, this isn’t an exclusive to our premium range, it’s a foundation of every NewTechWood board right from our entry level options. This ensures your deck withstands even the toughest Australian conditions, looking fantastic for years to come.
Additionally, NewTechWood decking is engineered to be slip-resistant, providing a safe surface for outdoor activities. Whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue, enjoying a family gathering or simply relaxing in the sun, you can feel confident your deck will perform at its best.
360-Degree Full Capping – Standard on Every Board
This is where NewTechWood truly shines and where many composite decking manufacturers fall short, offering full capping only on selected, higher priced lines.
Our 360-degree capping technology means that every single NewTechWood product, from entry level to premium, is fully encapsulated in a protective layer, covering all four sides of the board. This extra layer of protection helps to prevent moisture from seeping into the material, further enhancing its resistance to mould, mildew and weathering.
The 360-degree capping also helps maintain the appearance of the decking for longer, ensuring your deck stays looking new even after exposure to the elements. It’s not just about surface protection; it’s about total board integrity, significantly extending the lifespan of the product. A benefit you get with every NewTechWood purchase, not just the most expensive ones.
Versatile Design & Style Options for Everyone
Unlike competitors who often reserve their best aesthetics for premium ranges, NewTechWood offers a wide array of colours and textures across the entire collection. Whether you prefer the classic warmth of a natural wood look or a sleek, contemporary style, you’ll find the perfect match for your project without having to pay a premium price.
Industry Leading Warranty
NewTechWood offers peace of mind with a 25-year residential warranty. This level of confidence in our products speaks volumes about our mission to exceed industry standards in engineering and manufacturing. This commitment helps to ensure your deck remains in top condition for decades to come.
BAL-29 Rating – Standard Across the Range
The entire range of composite decking also boasts a BAL-29 rating, which is a crucial feature for properties located in bushfire-prone areas. This rating means the decking has been tested and approved to meet stringent bushfire resistance standards, making it an excellent choice for homeowners in regions where bushfire safety is a priority. The BAL-29 rating ensures NewTechWood decking can withstand the conditions associated with low to moderate bushfire risk.

Seasonal Care Tips
