The four things to check

01

Thickness

Below 20 mm, keep joist centres to 40 cm. Above 22 mm, you can move up to 50–60 cm.

02

Double-sided

A reversible board offers two patterns and doubles its useful life: you turn it over instead of replacing it.

03

Shade

Light shades (Teak, Walnut) stay cooler underfoot. Dark ones (Dark Grey) show dust less.

04

Substructure

A composite terrace is only as good as its substructure: calibrated joists, adjustable pedestals and a 1 % drainage fall.

In Morocco, exotic hardwood laid as decking greys within two summers. It has to be sanded, oiled and re-coated every year — and it still ends up splitting. WPC composite wood (Wood Plastic Composite) solves the problem at source: recycled wood fibre bound into a polymer and compacted to high density. The grain and warmth of wood, without its fragility.

Why composite has taken over in the Moroccan climate

Three local constraints explain how quickly it has been adopted on residential and hotel projects across the Kingdom.

Solar radiation. Between Marrakech and Ouarzazate, an outdoor surface takes a level of sunlight that will fade any unprotected pigment. DECNO boards carry UV protection right through the material, not as a surface coat: the shade does not leave with the finish.

Sea air. From Tangier to Agadir, salt attacks timber and corrodes fixings. Composite is waterproof: it does not absorb salt-laden moisture, does not swell and does not rot. Paired with stainless fixings, it holds up on a seafront.

Temperature swings. A winter night in Ifrane and a summer afternoon in Fez do not call for the same expansion allowance. Our profiles are calibrated for that range, provided the installation gaps given on each product sheet are respected.

Four families, four uses

Decking boards are laid horizontally on joists: they are the floor of your outdoor space. Cladding and façade boards dress a wall vertically or horizontally, as ventilated cladding. Composite tubes serve as screens, privacy panels or balustrades. Accessories — joists, corner trims, flat profiles — close off edges and corners cleanly.

A well-finished terrace usually combines all four: boards on the floor, joists underneath, a corner trim at the edge, and sometimes a screen to frame the view.

Frequently asked questions

What we get asked most often

Does composite wood get hot in the sun?
Like any dark outdoor surface, it heats up. The lighter shades in the DECNO range (Teak, Walnut) stay noticeably more comfortable underfoot than the anthracite tones. Around a pool, always go for a light colour.
What is the difference between cladding and façade boards?
Cladding is wider (up to 222 mm) and profiled to overlap, so it covers large areas quickly. Façade boards are narrower and draw tighter lines, for a more graphic result. Technically both are installed as ventilated cladding on a frame.
Do you need an air gap behind composite cladding?
Yes, without exception. A ventilated cavity of 20 to 30 mm between the wall and the cladding lets moisture escape and prevents condensation. That is the principle of ventilated rainscreen cladding, and neglecting it is the single most common cause of failure.
Can composite be laid straight onto a concrete slab?
Never bonded directly. Boards must sit on joists, themselves on pedestals or shims, so that air can move under the terrace and water can drain. Laying flat on a slab traps moisture and distorts the boards.
