Explorer vs Frontier: Which Composite Decking Range is Right for You?
Hyperion® composite decking is available in two distinct ranges, Explorer and Frontier. Both are manufactured with recycled materials and 100% FSC® certified wood, and both deliver a low-maintenance, long-lasting alternative to timber. The differences come down to board construction, warranty length and the level of performance you need.
Explorer Range — Outstanding Value, Proven Performance
The Explorer decking range is a hollow-core composite board, making it lightweight and easy to handle during installation. Each board is double-sided, giving you the choice of a traditional grooved finish or a natural woodgrain emboss, useful if you want design flexibility or are tiling different areas of the same deck. Explorer boards are made with 87% recycled materials and come backed by a 15-year residential warranty. For most standard residential garden decks, Explorer delivers everything you need at a price point that makes larger projects more achievable.
Frontier Range — Premium Construction, Market-Leading Warranty
The Frontier decking range is a solid capped composite board, meaning it has a full polymer shell encasing the core on all four sides. This capping provides significantly enhanced resistance to staining, UV fading and moisture, making Frontier the better choice for exposed or high-use environments. Boards are manufactured with 90% recycled materials and are backed by a 25-year stain and fade warranty. Frontier features a more premium woodgrain finish with softwood and hardwood options on each side.
Which should you choose?
If you're decking a standard domestic garden and want excellent quality at a competitive price, Explorer is a strong choice. If your deck is elevated, south-facing, near a pool, subject to heavy footfall, or you simply want the best available warranty and finish, the additional investment in Frontier is well justified over the lifetime of the deck.

Choose the Right Composite Decking Colour for Your Garden
The colour of your decking sets the tone for your entire outdoor space, and the right choice depends on your home's style and how you want the space to feel. At EnviroBuild, our composite decking boards are available in a wide range of colours across our ranges, making it easy to find the right finish for your project.
Grey Composite Decking for Modern Outdoor Spaces
Grey composite decking remains one of the most popular choices in the UK, particularly for contemporary homes and landscaped gardens. Colours such as Stone, Silver Birch, Moss Green, Slate and Marble create a clean, modern aesthetic that pairs well with:
Bi-fold and sliding doors
Rendered or white exterior walls
Black or anthracite outdoor furniture
Porcelain paving and minimalist garden designs
If you're looking to achieve a sleek, architectural finish, grey decking boards offer a versatile and low-maintenance solution.
Brown Composite Decking for a Natural Timber Look
For a warmer, more traditional feel, brown composite decking colours like Walnut, Iroko, Larch, Teak and Oak replicate the appearance of natural wood without the ongoing maintenance. These tones are ideal for:
Brick and stone properties
Cottage-style or traditional gardens
Blending decking seamlessly into planting schemes
Wood-effect composite decking is a popular choice for homeowners who want the look of timber decking with enhanced durability and longevity.
Black Composite Decking for Bold, Contemporary Designs
Black composite decking is ideal for creating a bold, high-contrast outdoor space. Deep tones such as Granite work particularly well in modern garden designs and can help define zones within larger areas. Black decking pairs well with:
Glass balustrades and metal finishes
Light-coloured render or cladding
Outdoor lighting for dramatic evening use
This option is often chosen for premium, design-led spaces where a strong visual impact is desired.
White Composite Decking for Bright, Open Spaces
White composite decking offers a clean, contemporary look that helps maximise light and create a sense of space. Shades like Pearl White are particularly effective in:
Smaller gardens or enclosed patios
South-facing areas where heat reflection is beneficial
Coastal-inspired or modern minimalist designs
Lighter decking colours can make outdoor areas feel more open and inviting, especially when paired with neutral tones and soft landscaping.
How to Choose the Best Composite Decking Colour
As a general rule, lighter colours make smaller spaces feel larger and brighter, while deeper tones lend drama and definition to larger areas. If you're unsure, order a free sample pack — all colours are available to try before you buy.
How to Plan & Cost Your Composite Decking Project
Planning your composite decking project properly ensures you order the right materials, stay within budget, and avoid delays during installation. Whether you're pricing up a small garden deck or a larger installation, understanding your composite decking cost per m² and required components is key.
Step 1 — Measure your Decking Area
Start by measuring the length and width of your space in metres to calculate your total square meterage (m²). For more complex layouts, divide the area into smaller rectangles and add them together.
To avoid running short, we recommend adding 10% extra to your total to allow for cuts, waste, and design features such as angles or steps. This is standard practice when calculating decking materials.
Step 2 — Choose the Right Composite Decking Range
Your choice of board will have the biggest impact on overall composite decking prices:
Explorer composite decking – from £29.99/m², offering a durable and cost-effective solution for residential gardens with a 15-year residential warranty
Frontier composite decking – from £41.99/m², featuring enhanced stain and fade resistance with a 25-year residential warranty, ideal for high-traffic or exposed areas
Selecting the right range helps balance upfront cost with long-term performance.
Step 3 — Factor in Substructure Costs
Composite boards need a proper subframe. You'll need to account for timber or non-rot joists, fixing clips, and any pedestals if you're building over a flat roof, balcony or uneven ground. As a rough guide, substructure typically adds 20–30% to the total board cost for a standard ground-level deck.
Step 4 — Include Trims, Edging & Finishing Details
Colour-matched fascia boards and corner trims give your deck a clean, professional finish. These are available in all Hyperion® colours and are worth factoring into your budget from the outset.

Composite Decking for Every Project Type
Hyperion® composite decking is used across a wide range of domestic and commercial applications. Here's how it performs across the most common project types.
Garden Decks
The most common application, and where composite decking truly earns its reputation. Unlike timber, composite decking boards won't warp, splinter, or require annual sanding and sealing, making them ideal for family gardens where longevity and safety are priorities. The hidden fastener system means a clean, screw-free surface throughout.
Roof Terraces & Balconies
For raised or elevated decks, composite boards paired with our adjustable pedestal system create a level, well-drained surface over any substrate. The pedestal system allows for precise height adjustment and creates a natural drainage channel beneath the boards.
Pool Surrounds & Wet Areas
Composite decking is an excellent choice around pools and water features. Its slip-resistant surface and resistance to moisture make it a safer and more comfortable alternative to stone or timber in wet environments.
Commercial Projects
EnviroBuild composite decking is specified on commercial projects ranging from hospitality venues and rooftop terraces to public spaces and leisure facilities. For a range of commercial applications, including non-combustible decking alternatives, visit our commercial website.
Sustainable Composite Decking, Made Responsibly
Choosing sustainable composite decking means investing in a product that not only performs well but also reduces environmental impact. Hyperion® boards are designed with longevity, recycled materials and responsible sourcing at their core, making them one of the most eco-friendly decking options in the UK.
High Recycled Content
Our composite decking is manufactured using industry-leading levels of recycled materials:
Explorer decking – made from 87% recycled content
Frontier decking – made from 90% recycled content
Each board combines recycled plastic with 100% FSC® certified wood fibre, reducing demand for virgin materials and helping divert waste from landfill. This makes composite decking a more sustainable alternative to traditional timber or non-certified wood products.
Manufactured Using Renewable Energy
All Hyperion® composite decking is manufactured using 100% renewable energy, meaning the production process itself carries a substantially reduced carbon footprint compared to conventionally manufactured decking.
Long-Life Decking
A long-lasting deck that never needs replacing or treating is inherently more sustainable than a timber deck that requires regular chemical treatments and replacement after 10–12 years. A longer lifespan means less material waste over time and fewer resources used for maintenance.
The 10% Pledge
EnviroBuild donates 10% of all profits to environmental causes. To date, this has supported 58 projects across 27 countries, protecting over 300,000 acres of rainforest. Buying from EnviroBuild means your purchase directly funds environmental restoration.
Responsibly Sourced Materials
The wood fibre used in Hyperion® boards is 100% FSC® certified, meaning it comes from responsibly managed forests where biodiversity, worker welfare and long-term forest health are actively protected.
