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.
