Buy Grey Composite Decking

Family garden with artificial grass, a play teepee and a fire pit seating area

Key facts. Two grey finishes: Grey, a true mid grey and our most popular board, and Silver, a lighter cool grey with a soft sheen. Both come as 3.6m (£25) and 4.8m (£34) hollow reversible boards, 150mm by 25mm, about £46 per square metre, fitted with hidden clips on joists at 350mm centres. Ten-year warranty, free samples, free delivery over £190, 2 to 4 working days.

Grey is the safe choice. It sits with any house, any paving and any garden furniture, it hides wear better than a dark or a pale board, and it is the finish we are asked for most. If you have been searching for anthracite, charcoal or slate decking, our Grey is the board we send: a proper mid-dark grey rather than a pale one, and the anthracite decking page shows it next to Black, which settles to a deep charcoal. Silver is the one for a shaded or north-facing garden or a white rendered house, where a lighter board keeps the space feeling open.

Both faces of every board are grey, so you choose the grooved or the woodgrain side when you lay it. Matching grey fascia, L-trim and end caps finish the edges, and the same grey is made as cladding for a garden room or wall. The colours guide compares all eight finishes against brick, render and fencing. Order the free Grey and Silver samples, leave them outside for a week, and choose in daylight.

Frequently asked questions

Do you sell anthracite composite decking?

Not under that name. Anthracite is a dark grey, and our Grey board is what we send customers who ask for it: a true mid-dark grey that stays grey in every light. Our Black board settles to a deep charcoal after its first summer if you want darker. Both samples are free, so order the pair and hold them against your window frames or fencing.

Is every colour the same price?

Yes. Every finish is £25 for a 3.6m board and £34 for a 4.8m board, about £46 per square metre. The choice is about the house and the garden, not the budget.

Will the colour change once it is outside?

Every composite board lightens slightly over its first three to six months as the surface weathers, then holds for the life of the deck. Black settles to charcoal and Chocolate a shade towards Teak; Grey, Silver and Ash barely move. Buy for the settled colour, and if you are torn between two, choose the darker.

Which colour hides dirt best?

Grey and Teak Brown hide dust, footprints and mud better than any other finish. Black and Chocolate show pale dust and pollen sooner and suit a deck that gets swept. Ash and Silver show mud more but dust less. A brush and soapy water cleans all of them.

Do the trims and cladding come in the same colours?

Fascia boards, L-trims and step edges are made in matching finishes, and end caps at £1.49 each cover Ash, Oak, Teak, Black, Grey and Chocolate. Composite cladding comes in seven of the eight decking colours, so a garden room or boundary wall can match the deck exactly.
