While the UK may get a bad rap for being a country continually ravaged by dismal year-round rainfall, Britain is no stranger to a heatwave.

In fact, prolonged stays of sunny weather occur annually and the UK topped out at toasty 35.5 degrees in July 2018, proving that you don’t have to board a plane to feel the heat.

With summer just around the corner, there’s no better time to start thinking about giving your garden a hot new makeover than right now.

Make the most of your outdoor space and get your garden ready for summer now with AlfrescoPlus.

Out Your Garden

When it comes to outdoor renovations, refurbs and resurfacing, one of the most popular options to explore is the universally-loved flooring favourite that is garden decking.

A staple of garden design, the enduring appeal of these woody boards has seen them go from strength to strength over the last few decades, right up to the today. With their natural allure and pleasing finish, it’s easy to see why.

At AlfrescoPlus, we currently offer three primary avenues for those looking to give their garden a good decking. These include the following:

 

Uncapped Composite Decking

A proven commodity in the decking trade, non-capped composite decking is the perfect upgrade from traditional wood decking. Providing all the beauty of a genuine wood surface, uncapped composite decking boards also offer superior durability.

Better still, they won’t fade or stain like their natural counterpart and require minimal maintenance to keep them looking as good as new year after year. Our uncapped composite decking range also comes with a whopping 25 to 30-year warranty for added peace of mind.

 

Capped

Capped composite decking offers all the benefits of non-capped composite decking boards and more. Coated in an invisible protective sleeve made of moisture-resistant polymer, capped composite decking boards are extremely resistant to stains and spills. The wipe clean surface makes them the perfect feature flooring for a social gathering or party environment

 With all the properties of uncapped decking also in its arsenal, capped decking required virtually no maintenance, making it the ultimate surface for outdoor enjoyment and relaxation. Much like our uncapped range, our capped composite boards also come with 25 to 30-year warranty as standard.

 

Hollow Composite Decking

A superbly economical alternative to traditional composite decking, hollow composite decking is a great outdoor flooring option for those with smaller budgets.

Available in a range of eye-catching designs, each hollow composite decking board offers a wood-look aesthetic at a fraction of the cost of traditional wood or other composite decking options.

Using considerably less material, they are also far more eco-friendly than their composite brethren. Meanwhile, they also come with a 10-year warranty as standard, should you have any reservations.

 

Tile in Style

If designer decking isn’t quite your cup of tea, why not lay down the law in your outdoor space with the stony class of outdoor paving?

At AlfrescoPlus, we have the widest selection of porcelain tiles in the UK. As the country’s premier tile provider, we take pride in offering variety and quality in equal measure. With a catalogue of unique patterns and styles available in a range of sizes, you’ll truly be spoilt for choice.

Our porcelain paving options range from light and breezy designs that will brighten up your garden to dark and moody pavers that provide a statement base for your exterior space, from stone-effect champagne limestone to stormy whirling marble.

Better still, you can also merge your outdoor aesthetic with your interior design by combining outdoor pavers with indoor tiles for a seamless transition into your home. Simply choose the 20mm paver you want and match it up with the same design in 10mm tile form.

 

Whether you go down the wood-look route of decking or the stony path of porcelain pavers, our collection of outdoor flooring options will surely have the surface for you. Call today on 0800 028 8756 to find out more or hit the button below to get in touch online.

British Gardens

According to the Horticulture Trades Association, the average UK garden is just 14m2.

To put that into context, 14m2 is about the size of a typical parking space (or three and half King Size beds, if you work in DFS).

While that might not seem like much to work with, there are a wealth of ways to utilise your garden space and really make the most of it. In fact, here at AlfrescoPlus, that’s our speciality!

Read on for a few awesome options on how to turn your glorified garden parking spot into a stunning space fit for a king...or three and half.

Patios and Decking

Whether firing up the barbeque with friends or kicking back with a good book in the sun, patios and decking can bring instant appeal to an outdoor space. With endless design options and a laundry list of colours, there’s a flavour for every taste bud when you opt for a patio or decking.

Decking

If you’re looking to create that unparalleled wood-look finish in your outdoor space, there’s no substitute for composite decking. Our array of designs covers a variety of colours and finishes, from the authentic allure of Cedar VertiGrain to the classical charm of our Vintage White Legacy.

Better still, our composite decking comes in a variety of forms, ranging from the budget-friendly hollow composite option, all the way up to the top-of-the-range capped composite at the premium end of the scale.

Patios

For durability and class in abundance, few products compare to the awesome aesthetic of porcelain paving. Available in a huge range of colours and sizes, our porcelain paving slabs are ideal for creating a stunning stony design within your outdoor space.

Durable and extremely resistant to staining and fading, our outdoor porcelain tiles can instantly transform your garden space into the perfect outdoor lounge or dining area. Available in a diverse spectrum of designs and colour shades, transforming your garden with the addition of a patio can be an instant upgrade.
