Why Choose Balcony Decking?

Balcony decking does more than transform your plain or worn spaces into inviting, stylish and cosy areas. It is also practical, safe and low maintenance.

Highly weather- and stain-resistant, our premium composite decking materials are long lasting and require very little maintenance. Slip-resistant, they help reduce the risk of falls, and, unlike wooden decks, they are barefoot-friendly, so splinters are not an issue.

Dino’s extensive range of colours and textures elevates elegance and lets you play with signature designs. Take a look at our popular balustrade trends for a striking boundary that defines your balcony. Whether you go for same-colour flow, contrasting focus, or modern textures and patterns, you can create unique, cosy spaces.

 

9 Unique Balcony Decking Ideas

 

1. Create an outdoor dining room

Balcony decking creates the ideal al-fresco space for sundowners, nibbles or barbecues. Dining outdoors is relaxing, something different that nicely rounds off long summer days.

Carefully selected decking furniture, whether it is a small dining table for two or a multi-seater for many, ties your balcony together. Remember to choose weather-resistant options that can stand the test of time.

 

2. Add a pergola or other cover to your balcony

Do you want a bit of shade, or how about some cover against the weather? Adding a pergola or similar canopy lets you use your balcony in various conditions and protects you from direct sunlight. Explore our step-by-step guide on building a pergola for your composite decking balcony.

 

3. Extend your living area outside

Get creative with an open-plan layout and establish a seamless transition between your indoor and outdoor spaces. A simple way to create an immediate link is matching the colour, materials and designs of your living room furniture with the furniture on your balcony. Explore some great outdoor living concepts to effectively extend your living spaces.

 

4. Add lighting to your balcony decking

Lighting instantly lifts the ambience. It not only creates a sense of cosiness, but also adds dimension with the play between light and dark that occurs naturally. Popular composite decking lighting ideas include wrapping lights around balustrades or strategically placing them underneath the balcony, which makes it look like it is floating.

 

5. Use furniture to make your balcony cosy

As in any setup, furniture makes a huge difference to the look and feel of an area. A choice chair, a sprawling sofa with plump cushions, an ottoman here and there – all create a homey and inviting vibe. You can even refine smaller balconies with space-saving options. Go for weather-resistant furniture that is low maintenance and long lasting.

 

6. Add natural greenery to your balcony decking

Like furniture, plants can make a big difference to the ambience of your balcony. Add greenery around your balcony, in the garden, or in planters as natural decorations. We suggest looking at sustainable garden trends that transform a balcony, regardless of the size.

 

7. Use trellises for a private balcony

A trellis is a great option if you would like to make your balcony more private. Some awesome trellis suggestions include planting flowers through the trellises to tie in with your furniture and other greenery. A screen like this also provides a sort of barrier that separates your balcony from the surroundings.

 

8. Use the vertical space

Many of us forget about the value of vertical space when it comes to balconies and patios. Installing shelves and hanging lights or plants takes ‘empty air’ and turns it into something useful and beautiful. This is especially practical for smaller balconies, as you simultaneously save space while using it. Don’t forget your wall decor. This aesthetic touch is a unique reflection of you.

 

9. Add accessories to your balcony

Similar to wall decor, accessories, such as outdoor rugs and decorations, form a visual link that creates that flow between your furniture, composite boards and balustrades. Composite decking accessories are especially effective if you want to establish seamless unity. We recommend experimenting with varying shades of the same colour or dramatic contrasts.

Balcony Decking Ideas FAQs 

How can you cover a balcony on a low budget?

There are multiple DIY solutions you can use to cover your balcony without breaking the bank. Fabric shades or curtains, for instance, help create shading without the expense of constructing a pergola. Draping hardy exterior covers over your furniture serves a dual purpose: it protects your furniture and helps to create aesthetic connections. Remember, you can use similar colours in different shades to establish a seamless transition between your interior and exterior.

Yes, you can absolutely put composite decking on your balcony. Lighter than traditional timber, it is also more robust and longer lasting. Our range of composite decking solutions includes everything from boards and balustrades to trellises and other accessories.

These tough solutions resist splintering, warping and rotting, so they last much longer than wood. Our comprehensive collection of different colours and patterns gives you creative carte blanche when planning your composite decking balcony. Couple this with the easy installation, slip resistance and low maintenance, and you’ve got the perfect answer to turn your balcony into something truly special.

Composite balcony decking is easy to clean. Start by sweeping away any leaves and other loose debris. This helps to limit scratching when washing. Next, use a soft-bristle brush and a mild soap mixed into warm water. After washing it down, use a standard garden hose to rinse it off. Make sure that there is no soapy residue or film to prevent slipping.

Do not use metal or hard tools to clean your balcony. These can scratch the surfaces. Harsh solvents can also damage your decking, so it is best to stick to something like normal dish soap. If you use a high-pressure hose, turn it to a low setting to avoid damage.
