Composite wood<\/strong> combines the natural aesthetics of wood with the durability of modern materials, offering a long-lasting solution for your outdoor landscaping projects. These innovative slats require virtually no maintenance and are remarkably resistant to weathering, UV rays, and temperature fluctuations. <\/p>\n\n

Their simple installation and excellent value for money<\/strong> make them an increasingly popular alternative to traditional fencing. Available in various shades and finishes, composite wood slats blend harmoniously into all garden styles while ensuring optimal privacy for your outdoor space. <\/p>\n\n

The advantages of composite wood slats<\/h2>\n\n

Traditional natural wood fencing requires regular maintenance and degrades quickly when exposed to the elements. Composite wood slats provide a modern, durable solution for delimiting your exterior without the constraints of upkeep. <\/p>\n\n

Composite wood slats<\/strong> offer exceptional resistance to weather and UV rays, with no risk of rotting or fading. Unlike natural wood, they do not require treatment or painting over the years. <\/p>\n\n

The aesthetic appearance remains intact over time, with shades and textures that perfectly imitate wood. Composite slats are available in many colors, from anthracite gray to dark brown, as well as lighter tones. <\/p>\n

Composition and manufacturing of composite wood<\/h2>\n\n

Composite wood combines recycled wood fibers (60%) and high-density polyethylene (40%). This mixture creates a stable and resistant material that is unaffected by moisture and temperature variations. <\/p>\n\n

Manufacturing by extrusion makes it possible to obtain perfectly calibrated slats without defects or knots. The process ensures consistent quality and precise dimensions to facilitate installation. <\/p>\n\n

The different types of composite slats<\/h2>\n\n

Cloture Discount<\/a> offers several slat profiles: solid rectangular, openwork, or screen-style. Widths vary from 90 to 180 mm to suit all fencing styles. <\/p>\n\n

The interlocking system allows for installation with total or partial privacy. Slats can be installed horizontally or vertically depending on the desired effect. <\/p>\n\n

Price and value for money of composite slats<\/h2>\n\n

The initial investment is higher than for natural wood, but it proves cost-effective in the long term. The lack of maintenance and a lifespan exceeding 20 years more than compensate for the additional purchase cost. <\/p>\n\n

Entry-level composite slats start at around \u20ac30\/m\u00b2, while high-end models can reach \u20ac80\/m\u00b2. The price varies according to thickness, finish, and the fastening system. <\/p>\n\n

Installation and fitting of composite wood slats<\/h2>\n\n

Installation is carried out by simply interlocking the slats between posts, with no visible screws. Assembly is accessible to DIY enthusiasts, with complete kits including all necessary accessories. <\/p>\n\n

The slats are easily cut with a hacksaw or a circular saw. The spacing between posts should not exceed 150 cm to ensure the rigidity of the structure. <\/p>\n
