Picking the right product

Thickness for floors

18 mm or more is common for floors on joists at 400 mm centres; follow your design.

Working out quantities for your Colchester job

Decking 18 m² with 2440 × 1220 mm sheets takes 7 sheets including 10% for cutting.

Planning the drop in Colchester

Sheets travel flat on the lorry bed and are hand-offloaded or crane-lifted in packs. Colchester is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• In summer Colchester gets around 16h 43m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
