High Durability
Long-lasting, scratch-resistant, and weatherproof.
Solid-core WPC decking board with a 3D embossed surface. The deep-grain option in our first-generation range. A 3D embossed surface carries a more pronounced timber texture than a standard classic board, and the solid core means cut ends read as solid material with no chambers to cap. It is an uncapped board, so it sits on the 10-year schedule rather than the 15-year co-extruded one.
| Core | Solid — no hollow chambers |
|---|---|
| Surface | 3D embossed deep wood grain |
| Construction | Classic (uncapped) wood-plastic composite — not co-extruded |
| Warranty | Generation 1 — 10 years, stepped cover |
| Slip classification held | None on this grade |
| Colours | Teak, Redwood, Light grey, Grey, Coffee, Charcoal, Cedar |
| Profile drawing | Shown below — dimensioned section on request |
| MOQ / production | 70 m² — 20 days for standard catalogue items |
| HS code / origin | 3925.90 — Sihui, Zhaoqing, Guangdong, China |
Warranty — Generation 1, 10 years, stepped. Cover runs 100% in years 1–3, 80% in year 4, 70% in year 5, 50% in year 6, 40% in year 7, 30% in year 8, 20% in year 9 and 10% in year 10. It starts on delivery and signature at the destination port, not the factory gate, and covers peeling, cracking and overall uneven fading. Excluded: incorrect installation, impact damage, chemical attack and misuse.
Certification: ISO 9001 (IAS25924Q1473R0M) and ISO 14001 (IAS25924E0394R0M), valid to 29 April 2027. CE / CPR certificate M.2024.206.C97619, UDEM International Certification, valid to 11 March 2029. REACH is covered by a manufacturer’s declaration of conformity — a declaration, not third-party certification. We publish the numbers rather than a row of badges, because buyers who matter will ask for them.
Slip: we hold a third-party ramp classification — Intertek Shanghai Fengxian, 230625005SHF-001, AS 4586-2013 Appendix D, 15°, R10 — but it was measured on our co-extruded 23 × 138 mm profile ZSGJ138H23A. No slip classification is held on this grade, and we will not transfer one across. Pool surrounds and other barefoot wet areas are specified against DIN 51097, which is a different method again and one we do not yet hold. If your project needs either, we can test this profile at the same laboratory: fee up front, credited in full against the order.
Not yet tested on this profile: DIN 51097 (barefoot wet areas), BS 7976 pendulum PTV, ASTM D7032 / D7031 and ICC-ES. Our documentation route is European (CE/CPR, REACH) and Australian plus Chinese GB/T. If you are selling into a market that names US standards, tell us which ones before you order rather than after installation.
MOQ, lead time and samples. MOQ is 70 m² for decking, measured in square metres rather than full containers. Standard catalogue production runs 20 days, and sea freight to a UK port is about 55 days port to port on top of that, loading at Nansha (Guangzhou) or Yantian (Shenzhen). HS code 3925.90. Samples are free — you cover the courier and we credit it against your first order.
What is the cross-section? The profile drawing is shown at the foot of this page. Ask us for the dimensioned version checked against current tooling before you order — we are re-verifying the section figures previously published here, and we would rather send you a confirmed drawing than an unconfirmed number.
Is 3D embossing a coating? No. It is a surface texture pressed into the board, not a film or a cap. If you want a capped board, look at our co-extruded profiles instead.
Is it slip rated? No classification is held on this grade. Our R10 result belongs to a co-extruded profile and does not transfer. We can arrange testing, fee credited against the order.
What does the solid core change? Cut ends show solid material rather than open chambers, so exposed ends and mitres finish without a cap. It also weighs more per metre than a hollow board of the same size.
