Best China WPC Decking Supplier in Greece — Direct From Our Own Extrusion Line

An Island Has No Builders Merchant

This is the part of the Greek market that a generic supplier page gets wrong. It treats delivery as finished when the container is discharged. On a mainland job that is nearly true. On Syros, Naxos or Crete it is the halfway point, and everything about how you place the order should change because of it.

Being one board short is a week, not an afternoon

On the mainland a missing board is a phone call. On an island it is a ferry schedule, and in the shoulder season that can be several days — sometimes longer if the weather closes the route. So the order has to be complete on the day it ships, and that includes the things people leave off: clips, start clips, L-trim, the right joists, and enough spare boards to cover cutting waste and the one that gets damaged in handling.

We would rather quote you 5% more board than you think you need and have it go on the same pallet than be the supplier who was technically correct about the quantity.

And the spares have to come from the same batch

This is the reason the point matters more here than anywhere else on this site. Pigment goes into the extrusion, so a board from a later run will not match. On a mainland job you can live with that on a hidden edge. On an island terrace where the replacement arrives next season and sits in the middle of the deck, you cannot. Buy the spares with the job, keep them on site, and the problem never happens.

Tell us the island and we will pack for it

Handling is different too: material gets craned, carried up steps, or moved by small truck through a village street that a 40-foot trailer will never enter. That affects which board length we quote — ours run 2.9 / 3.6 / 4.0 / 5.8 m — and how the bundles are made up. Say the island and the access when you enquire and the packing list is built for the job rather than for the container.

The Season Runs Backwards Here

In Sweden the constraint is that the building season is short. In Greece it is that the building season is the one nobody is thinking about.

Nobody re-decks a hotel terrace in August

The trade in this market is dominated by hospitality, and hospitality cannot close in season. The work happens between roughly November and April, which means the material has to be on the island before the weather and the ferry timetable make that hard. Sea time is about 50 days port to port and production runs before it, so an order placed in late summer is material for the winter works programme. One placed in January is, realistically, for the following winter.

Which makes the enquiry a different conversation

The useful question is not how fast we can ship, it is which works window the material is for. Tell us that and we work backwards to the production slot with you. Distributors who plan on this cycle start the winter with stock while their competitors are quoting lead times to a hotel owner who needs the terrace finished before Easter.

And the deck sits through the season it was not built in

A terrace laid in February spends its first summer under continuous sun and foot traffic. That is worth remembering when the gaps are set — boards laid cold are at their shortest, so work to the upper end of the expansion ranges rather than the lower.

The Decking Range

Capped co-extrusion and classic uncapped, hollow and solid. Six of the sections ordered most often — the full schedule runs to well over a hundred.

Co-extrusion 23 × 138

Capped, hollow · 2.85 kg/m

The main capped section. This is the profile our slip test was run on.

View product →

Co-extrusion 23 × 148

Capped, hollow, premium

Wider capped board, four-sided cap. Fewer boards and fewer clips across a large terrace.

View product →

Co-extrusion solid 20 × 140

Capped, solid core

Solid throughout. Specified for commercial traffic and exposed edges — the usual answer on a hotel terrace.

View product →

3D embossed, round chamber

Deep-grain surface

Heavier embossing than a standard woodgrain, in the capped construction.

View product →

3D embossed, square chamber

Deep-grain surface

Same surface, square-cell core. Lower cost per square metre than the round-chamber section.

View product →

Classic 140 × 25

Uncapped, square chamber

First-generation grade, shown in Walnut. Cost-led work with routine cleaning.

Sun and Salt, With Nothing In Between

Specific to Greece. The Spanish page is about the number of sunlight hours; this one is about exposure — an island terrace has no shade, no shelter and salt in the air all year.

The cap is the layer taking the sun

60% wood powder, 30% HDPE, 10% additives. On the capped range a co-extruded shield wraps the WPC core, and the shield is the wearing layer — it carries the fade resistance. On a fully exposed island terrace that is the argument for the capped grade, and we would say so even where the budget is pushing the other way. The material can be recycled and reused at end of life.

Salt attacks the fixings, not the boards

This market is almost entirely coastal, and on an island there is no inland to retreat to. The composite handles salt air. Screws, clips, joist hangers and post bases do not — and that is exactly where nobody looks until the deck has to come up to reach them. Specify A4 / 316 stainless throughout rather than A2, put the grade in the quotation, and treat it as non-negotiable rather than an upgrade. On a Cycladic site it is the single cheapest decision that prevents the most expensive failure.

Wind is a real load on an exposed terrace

The meltemi is not a detail. On an open terrace, a raised deck or anything near an edge, uplift is carried by the clips and the substructure fixings, not by the weight of the board. Wind loading is set by your own code against the location and exposure — give us the exposure and we will give you the fixing specification and, on a pedestal deck, the layout to suit it.

Colour is a comfort decision, not a decorating one

A dark board in full Aegean sun gets genuinely hot underfoot — true of every composite, and of stone and porcelain too. Where the terrace is crossed barefoot, which in this market is most of them, specify from the lighter end: Antique or Light-grey in the capped range, Light Grey in the 3D embossing range. Where the client insists on dark, put the shade structure on the same drawing.

Colours, Sections and Textures

Colour and texture are specified separately from the profile, so a complete specification is three things: model, texture code, colour.

The full colour card

Capped co-extrusion: Teak, Antique, Redwood, IPE, Light-grey, Walnut.
Classic uncapped: Teak, Redwood, Walnut, Coffee, Chocolate, Ebony.
3D embossing: Teak, Red Wood, Walnut, Chocolate, Light Grey, Dark Grey.

Grey lives in the capped range (Antique, Light-grey) and the 3D embossing range (Light Grey, Dark Grey), which is worth establishing early because a grey brief is a capped or 3D embossed job and should be priced that way from the first conversation.

Sections, with the dimensions on them

ZSGJ138H23A and ZSGJ138H23C at 138 × 23 mm, ZSGJ138H25 at 138 × 25, ZSGJ140S23 at 140 × 23, ZSGJ140S25 at 140 × 25, ZSGJ145S30 at 145 × 30. Capped surfaces run H1 straight grain and H2, H3 and H5 wood grain; the classic range uses its own codes, so quote the texture with the range. Full schedule with metre weights on the model page.

Installation and Accessories

From our own installation guide. On an island these are also a packing list — anything missed here is a ferry away.

The gaps, and the double joist

5–7 mm between the sides of adjacent boards. About 5 mm between a capped board and a wall. 3–5 mm at butt joints where two board ends meet. Butt joints sit on double joists — each board end gets its own joist, never a shared one, and it is the item most often short on a delivery because it is counted from the board layout rather than the joint layout. Work to the upper end of every range on a deck laid in the winter window.

Accessories, with sizes

Stainless steel start clip, plastic clip, expansion screw, L-shaped corner trim 50 × 50 × 3000 mm, WPC joist 40 × 30 × 3000 mm, aluminium joist 40 × 25 × 2900 mm. Note the aluminium joist is 2900 mm, not 3000 — an easy hundred millimetres to lose when you take off quantities, and an easy shortfall to discover on an island. Everything metal on a coastal job should be A4 / 316.

What Owning the Line Gives You

Capacity you can book against

Roughly 2,000 tonnes a month, about 100 containers. In a market where the whole trade wants material in the same autumn, what matters is that a repeat order does not queue behind somebody else's. Send the volume and the works window; we answer with a slot, not a hope.

Dies are ours, so sections are ours

We own the moulds and cut them in-house. That is why the schedule runs past a hundred sections rather than a catalogue page — and why we can talk seriously about a market-specific profile.

A test report with every shipment

Goods are checked before despatch and the report travels with them. Routine, not negotiated — and on a hotel refurbishment being signed off by an engineer, it is the document that gets asked for first.

Certification: What We Hold, and the Exact Scope

Greek specifiers and hotel engineers verify, so here is the whole picture including the exact scope — a certificate covering three profiles covers those three profiles. Ask and we send the document itself.

Around Water, Read the Slip Number Properly

Hotel terraces, spa areas and anywhere crossed wet and barefoot all raise the same question, and in a market this dependent on hospitality it is worth getting right before the quotation rather than after.

What our result is

R10 under AS 4586-2013 Appendix D, ramp method at 15 degrees, Intertek report 230625005SHF-001, measured on profile ZSGJ138H23A. That is the shod wet method — the number that describes a surface walked in shoes. It belongs to that profile and that method, and we will send the report so your own engineer reads the scope on its face rather than taking our word for it.

Barefoot wet areas use a different method and a different scale

A hotel terrace in July is a barefoot surface, and barefoot wet areas are assessed by a separate method against its own classification — a figure from one does not convert into the other. Establish which one your project, the hotel's insurer or the supervising engineer is actually asking for, then ask us for the report that matches it. Bring us the requirement and we answer it with a document rather than an adjective. And on anything involving treated water, ask for the warranty schedule before you quote.

Three Things That Go Wrong When Europeans Import WPC

Not sales copy — these are the three that cost distributors money.

The frame is set out for timber

A joiner spaces joists at whatever timber decking takes, because that is the habit. Composite has a maximum support spacing and it is tighter than timber. Get the figure for your profile in writing and put it on the drawing before the frame goes down. Wrong, and the deck does not collapse — it flexes underfoot permanently, and on an island the fix means shipping material twice.

The end gap gets left out

The most expensive of the three, because a buckled deck is a full relay with no partial fix. And it is more likely here than it looks, because a deck laid in the winter window is laid cold — the gap that looks generous in February is the minimum in July. The figures are in the installation section above.

Batch colour is not matched later

Pigment goes into the extrusion, so two runs of the same colour will not be identical. On an island this is the one that bites hardest, because the replacement board arrives a season later and there is nowhere to hide it. Buy the spares with the job and keep them on site.

Warranty, and How a Claim Works

Stepped, not flat

Capped co-extrusion carries 15 years, classic uncapped 10. Both step down by year rather than paying full value throughout: 100% of the value of the affected goods in years 1–3, then 80, 70, 50 and 40% through years 4 to 7, then reducing in bands to 10% in the final years. It covers peeling, cracking and overall uneven fading.

It starts at the destination port

Cover runs from the date the goods arrive and are signed for at the port — not our factory gate, and not the day your customer installs them. In a market where material often lands months before the works window opens, that distinction is worth reading twice, and it works in the distributor's favour.

Certificates are per batch

The schedule that applies is the one on that batch's certificate, which is why the test report shipping with the goods matters. Keep it with the commercial paperwork. If a supplier quotes you a flat 25 years, ask for the schedule — the answer tells you more than the number.
