Why Every Professional Installer is Switching to Composite Subframes

In the UK, traditional “tanalised” timber is not as reliable as it once was. Ground-contact rot is the leading cause of failure in outdoor projects. By switching to a composite subframe, you will receive a structural guarantee that matches the lifespan of their premium decking boards. This professional upgrade justifies a higher project price and eliminates the risk of the frame collapsing long before the decking boards wear out.

 

Engineered for the UK Climate: Subframes UK Specification

Our subframes UK range is designed to withstand the harshest British weather conditions. Unlike wood, which expands and contracts and can lead to “screw pull” and squeaky boards, composite materials are incredibly stable.

  • Low Profile Options: Ideal for balcony retrofits or over-paving projects with limited clearance.
  • Joists & Bearers: Available in various profiles (including 50x50mm and 125x50mm) to accommodate any span or load requirement.
  • Post Support: Pair with our dedicated composite posts for a fully unified, rot-free structure from the ground up.

 

Installation Tips for the Trade

We understand that you want to move quickly from one job to the next. Our decking subframe components are designed for efficiency:

  • Pre-Drilling: While not always necessary, we recommend pre-drilling to achieve a cleaner finish and prevent “mushrooming” around the screw head.
  • Span Consistency: For residential decks, we recommend a joist spacing of 400mm (or 300mm for commercial projects) to ensure a sturdy feel underfoot.
  • Tooling: You can use standard mitre saws and impact drivers; there’s no need for diamond blades or specialised tools.
