While looking at potential products, Paddy, the Quantity Surveyor at Global Linings, discovered that many decking timbers did not match the commercial look of their building. This directed his research toward BiForm.
The Objective
When exploring options of how to transform their entrance area and staff outdoor area, Global Linings Ltd had three essential boxes to be checked- It had to be low maintenance, it had to look great and it had to be quick and easy to install, so not to disrupt business operations.
After doing his research, Paddy, from Global Linings, found that our BiForm Solid Composite Decking was a perfect fit for these criteria.
Why Choose BiForm
While looking at potential products, Paddy found that a lot of the decking timbers did not match the commercial look of their building. This directed his research toward BiForm, to which he discovered the low maintenance nature of our composite decking. The plastic component in the decking means that there is no need for oiling or staining the deck and the maintenance requirement was a lot lower than that of regular timber. Our versatile Camo Grey colour was a perfect fit for the Global Linings building.
Problems
A potential hiccup in the product selection process came when some of the staff were hesitant, having not used composite decking before and hearing bad reviews about hollow composite decking boards. These doubts were put to rest after finding out that BiForm only use solid composite decking boards which have been rigorously tested with a BRANZ appraisal.
The installation was carried out by VB Construction. BiForm designed the layout for the outdoor area, balancing aesthetics with efficiency. It was the first time that the VB Construction team has used composite decking and our hidden fixing system, but with comprehensive installation instructions and after consultation with the BiForm team along the way, Victor and his team found it easy and quick to install.
The Result
The Global Linings staff are now very happy with the finished deck and are extremely happy with Paddy’s choice in BiForm Solid Composite Decking. For a commercial site it is ideal, and they have found it very easy to keep clean, while the performance and suitability is exactly what they were looking to achieve.
Paddy is happy to talk to anyone about the deck and you’re welcome to come by and see the front entrance at any time.
