Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Oakio products are basically made from recycled materials. It won’t splinter or warp the way 
wood does, so it dramatically reduces the wasteful cycle of repair and replacements. It also 
eliminates the frequent application of environmentally harmful paint, sealers, and stains. Oakio composite deck planks are manufactured with recycled wood materials that would otherwise go into landfills. In addition, Oakio is able to regrind scrap products back into the manufacturing process. Oakio recycles water during the manufacturing process. Oakio does not require painting, staining, 
or sealing.

Wood plastic composite products are a mix of hard wood fibers, recycled polyethylene, bonding agent, additives, and tint. It is a long-lasting, hardwearing, low maintenance alternative to traditional timber products.

The obvious reason for using WPC composite decking is to preserve the environment.  As environmental pressures on the industry (in terms of recycling and sustainability) grow daily, there is a clear need to extend the life of our traditional building materials such as wood. WPC efficient use of materials that are currently seen as waste supports this concept; that of sustainable development.  Being made of almost 100% recycled materials and being 100% recyclable WPC’s impact on our precious forest resources is negligible, reducing our carbon footprint on the earth.  Other environmental benefits of WPC include: There is negligible waste and any that is produced is reused WPC contain no toxins or volatile organic compounds WPC are 100% recyclable and can be reground and reused after their service life WPC are considered non-hazardous waste so can be disposed of by standard methods.

Only you can really picture that as you know the space better than anyone but we do have a gallery of images that might help you see what it could look like.

Like any uncapped wood plastic composite board, the WPC decking boards will lighten as they naturally weather over the first 2-3 months of outdoor exposure before establishing. The board lightening is caused by rain washing out naturally occurring dark wood oils (called tannins) and natural lightening from UV exposure. The color change is most noticeable in the lighter colors: Oak, Silver Birch, and Stone, where the contrast between the colored tannins and initial board color is larger. As the board weathers, the grain’s subtle contrast eventually derives almost entirely through how the different textures reflect light rather than a genuine color differential. For this reason, it is often preferable to lay lighter colors groove side up.

Oakio products are designed to take on very little water (c.1%). Our ranges have a much lower absorption rate than timber which heavily reduces the likelihood of wet rot over a longer period of time.

Yes! You can cut, nail, drill, screw, and rout Oakio with standard woodworking tools. The density of Oakio is greater than timber that’s why we recommend using carbide tipped blades and bits.

WPC products offer superior durability and performance that you can’t get from wood. WPC decking won’t rot, warp, or splinter; and they never require staining or painting to maintain great looks.

Polyethylene is non-toxic and is used for applications such as milk jugs, water jugs and grocery sacks. When burned completely, it will convert to carbon dioxide and water vapor.

Oakio decking features an anti-slip surface with textured grooves for improved traction. It offers better slip resistance than traditional timber, although extra caution is still recommended in wet or icy conditions.

Recommended joist spacing depends on the decking profile:Round hollow: 300 mm; Square hollow: 350 mm; Solid decking: 400 mm. Always follow our installation guide for best results.

Hollow decking is ideal for residential projects such as patios, balconies, and gardens. Solid decking offers higher load capacity, making it better suited for commercial and public spaces with heavier foot traffic.

Like all outdoor materials, composite decking will experience slight colour stabilization during the first few months of outdoor exposure. Oakio’s capped decking offers excellent UV resistance, minimizing long-term fading.

Minor colour variations may occur because our decking contains recycled wood fibers and is manufactured in batches. For the best appearance, we recommend ordering all boards at the same time and in the same length whenever possible.

Composite decking can be cut, drilled, and fastened using standard woodworking tools, including circular, table, and miter saws. Carbide-tipped blades are recommended for clean, accurate cuts.

Oakio offers four decking collections, each with its own colour range and surface finish. Visit the product pages to explore available colours, or request samples for a more accurate representation.

Composite decking requires far less maintenance than wood but is not completely maintenance-free. Regular sweeping and occasional cleaning with water and mild soap are all that’s needed to keep it looking its best.

Clean your decking with water and a mild household soap or dishwashing liquid. Avoid bleach, harsh chemicals, or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the surface.

No. Composite decking is designed with a durable finished surface and does not require polishing. Simply clean it regularly with water and a soft brush to maintain its appearance.

Yes, but we recommend installing the grooved side facing up. This provides better slip resistance and helps reduce the visibility of stains and watermarks.

Standard decking lengths are 2.2 m, 2.8 m, and 3.6 m. Custom lengths are also available for project orders, subject to production and shipping requirements.

Oakio offers plastic, 304 stainless steel, and aluminum clips. Plastic clips are the most economical, while stainless steel and aluminum provide greater durability. Clip selection also determines board spacing.

Our fire-resistant decking can achieve Bfl-s1 under European fire standards. Standard products typically meet Class C or Class D, depending on the formulation.

Composite decking is competitively priced with quality timber. Although the initial investment may be higher, its low maintenance requirements help reduce long-term ownership costs.

Leftover boards can be repurposed into planters, benches, garden paths, shelves, or other outdoor DIY projects. Composite decking is easy to cut and highly resistant to moisture and decay.

Capacity depends on the decking profile and packaging. As a reference, a 20-foot container typically holds approximately 700–800 m² of decking.

Please refer to our installation guidelines.

Our composite fencing for sale is produced in batches and made from 60% recycled hardwood making this a natural product. For this reason, slight color variations may occur (more noticeable when purchasing different lengths of boards or when laying the boards “wide groove up”) We advise purchasing decking boards in the same lengths to avoid initial color difference. Although we will always endeavor to pick all products from the same batch, when orders are added or amended at a later date the boards will likely be from a different batch therefore color variation is likely. Please ensure you order the correct amount of boards on the initial order.

We offer a 15-year warranty maximum on Iniwood fencing and a 25-year maximum on Proshield fencing depending on the application scenario, it is meaning you get peace of mind with your new fencing. We anticipate when looked after well composite fencing will last well in excess of the 10-25 years warranty.

The Oakio WPC decking boards will lighten as they naturally weather over the first 2-3 months of outdoor exposure before establishing. The board lightening is caused by rain washing out naturally occurring dark wood oils (called tannins) and natural lightening from UV exposure. The color lightening is reduced and gradually remains stable after the period.

Using a standard household washing up liquid will be effective when cleaning Oakio products, do not use any cleaners stronger than this or any cleaners containing a bleaching agent.

Oakio pedestals are a system that enables the laying of porcelain paving or decking substructures without the need for grout, adhesive, or cement. Using Oakio pedestals makes for a quick and easy installation, while still proving a robust substructure for your paving or decking.
Support pedestals are nearly always used on flat roofs, balconies, and terraces, and they are increasingly used in gardens.

Oakio pedestals are made from recycled polypropylene. Oakio pedestals are also a low-maintenance solution making them the perfect choice for any commercial area or residential installation.

Spacer tabs create a uniform gap between the slabs placed on top of the pedestals. The tabs are available in different widths, depending on the space required. The following widths are available: 3, 5, or 8mm.

Rubber Shims are available to adjust small differences in tile thickness. They are available in 1mm and 2mm thicknesses and are placed directly on top of the pedestals. Besides, the Rubber Shims could also avoid the noise of the stone tiles touching the Oakio pedestals.

To increase stability a pedestal can be turned upside down(base becomes top).

Oakio composite decking pedestals can be used with any kind of decking material including stone, granite, marble, hydra-pressed concrete, wood, composites, industrial grating, ceramic, and wood tiles.

Oakio composite decking pedestals are all assembled well, only need to adjust the height which you require during the installation.

It is very easy to adjust the Oakio pedestal deck system’s height, adding one Extender could raise the height of 80-120mm, and on a small range of height, it just needs to screw down the strengthening ring to fix the height. Oakio pedestal is also equipped with a safety clip system to avoid unscrewing.

Oakio slope corrector could be placed on the bottom of the Oakio deck tile pedestals, with the Oakio slope corrector it is possible to build a perfectly level surface by rotating the Oakio slope corrector. It is possible to adjust the slope between 0% to 5%.

Each square meter of decking needs 4-5 pcs of pedestal for standard installation. It varies from the installation scenario.

Yes. Please contact us if you are interested in our pedestal systems.

Yes, they are. Saving these materials from landfill, giving them value and recycling them into a long-life product provides a harmonious solution to sustainable living.

Oakio pedestals have a working load of 1,000kg each. This means that the entire area is able to support over 2.5kN/m2 if required.
