DESIGN TIPS FOR A SUMMER-READY OUTDOOR OASIS WITH DECO

Imagine sipping iced tea under a canopy of shade, facilitating lively BBQs or lounging in a stylish oasis—all without the upkeep that comes with traditional materials. With DECO Australia’s innovative aluminium products—DecoBatten®, DecoDeck®, DecoClad®, and its Opening Roof Systems – specifiers can craft the perfect outdoor sanctuary.

Here are some creative design tips to help create the perfect outdoor summer space:

1. Create Inviting Decking Areas with DecoDeck

Start by laying the foundation for an outdoor oasis with DecoDeck. This aluminium decking beautifully mimics the look of natural wood with the stunning sublimated DecoWood® finish. Designed for Australian conditions, it offers marine-grade durability and low maintenance, making it perfect for summer BBQs and sun-soaked lounging. Plus, the easy-to-install system is slip-resistant and won’t heat up like traditional decking, ensuring comfort on the hottest days.

TIP: Use the DecoDeck® Joiner to join boards between joists – no ugly breaker boards required!

2. Enhance Privacy and Style with DecoBatten®

Incorporate DecoBatten for stylish screening and privacy. These lightweight, dimensionally stable battens are easy to work with and can be arranged both vertically and horizontally to create unique design features. Available in a wide range of sizes and in an innovative two-piece QuickClick® design, use DecoBatten to create shaded areas or covering unsightly structures, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality while providing privacy.

3. Elevate Aesthetics with DecoClad®

Don’t forget about vertical surfaces! DecoClad® can infuse character and warmth around walls and external facades. With an array of timber-look DecoWood® finishes and plain powder coat colours, DecoClad® creates a seamless and durable exterior, offering effortless installation and requiring minimal maintenance. DecoClad’s patented tongue and groove system is easy to install, with pre-punched fixing holes that make installation light work.

TOP TIP: Perfect for low-maintenance exterior soffit linings and ceilings!

4. Maximise Comfort with Opening Roof Systems

To fully enjoy outdoor spaces, consider DECO’s Opening Roof Systems. These versatile structures allow the control of sunlight and ventilation effortlessly. Open the roof for radiant sunshine in the morning, and close it for cool shade in the afternoon, creating the perfect ambiance for summer gatherings.
