Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between natural and composite timber screens?

Natural timber offers traditional beauty but requires more upkeep. Both provide excellent privacy and can be customised to your requirements. Composite screens combine wood fibres with recycled plastic for enhanced durability and lower maintenance.

Can you supply compliant pool screens?

Yes, we can manufacture timber screens to meet pool compliance requirements. Our team understands local regulations and can advise on appropriate specifications for safety barriers that maintain visual appeal.

Do you offer custom sizing for screens?

Absolutely. We provide custom sizing for both composite and natural timber screens. Whether you need specific dimensions for architectural features, garden edging screens, or indoor applications, we can accommodate your requirements.

How long do natural timbers last?

While composite screens can last 20+ years with minimal maintenance, the lifespan of natural timber can vary depending on a number of factors. These factors include species type, treatment, and maintenance. It’s important to understand the difference between natural timbers and composite timbers before you make your choice.
