Terraces and roofs

WPC decking, pergolas and glazing, safety lines: the house carries on outside, with the same makers.

The point

Outside, materials work against sun, rain and frost, and must hold up without paint

We choose materials that do not ask for maintenance every spring, and lay them with the right falls.

What we bring

Terraces, cover, safety

    WPC decking

    Composite boards that do not splinter, need no oil and do not soak up water: for terraces, gardens and pool surrounds.

In section

A deck lasts if it breathes

Air and water pass under the boards: joists at regular centres, a gap between boards and a slight fall outward.

Questions

What people ask us

Does WPC get hot in the sun?

Light shades stay cooler. We let you touch samples in the sun on your own terrace before choosing.

Does a pergola need a permit?

It depends on the type and the council. We tell you which solutions are permitted development and which need an application.

Is a safety line compulsory?

In Tuscany it is required for work on roofs. We supply the system and the paperwork for the building file.
