Decking Calculator

When buying decking the first question is "How much decking will I need?". Our handy decking calculator will give you an idea of how many decking boards you need, and an indicative cost for your preferred decking choice. This is only based on the square meterage of the area and additional boards should be added where required.

Please note this is a guide only and you should always check calculations are correct. Would you like personal assistance with your quotation from a trained member of staff? You can call us on 01837 659901 or email us at [email protected]. We aim to respond within an hour, during office hours of 8-5 Monday to Friday, or 8-1 on Saturdays.

Fascia Boards

Fascia Boards are designed to be installed around the sides of your Decking area to conceal any joists and gaps beneath the Boards, whilst preventing debris and small animals from entering the underside of your installation. They create a seamless, high-quality finish whilst protecting the Decking Boards and their supporting structure.

Fascia Boards measure 2.4m in length, and so you may require multiple Fascia Boards depending on the size of your Deck.

They are available in all eight matching Composite Decking Board colours so you can complement or contrast the edging of your Decking.

Do you require Fascia for your installation?

Yes

Fascia boards cover the sides of your deck and hide the frame.

Bullnose / Picture Frame Edging

Bullnose Decking Boards are used to neatly finish the edges of your Decking project by creating a sophisticated border, thanks to their solid, rounded edge that runs along one side of the Board.

Add Bullnose Boards to your Decking design in a contrasting colour to create an attractive picture frame finish, or simply match in with the rest of your Decking by choosing the same colour.

Frequently Asked Questions

Unless decking is being added to a listed building or a property based within a conservation area, the project should only require planning permission if the height of the deck exceeds 30cm, or if the deck, along with other extensions, takes up more than 50% of the Garden. Find out more about planning permission here.

Yes, decking can be used as a great design tool to help flatten out your garden space. If you are installing a deck on a sloped garden, be sure to measure and install the structural joists correctly, as the base and joists may need to be cut to different lengths to ensure the deck is level. See our decking installation guides for more information.

Unfortunately, we do not offer an installation service for any of our products. However, all products can be installed by any capable DIY-er, with the easy to follow installation guides.

Composite decking options can be more expensive than traditional timber due to the higher cost of materials sourcing and manufacturing costs. As well as the additional additives, which gives the boards their range of colours and resistant properties. Find out more about the difference between timber and composite decking boards here.

You can use our easy-to-use online decking calculator to work it all out. Just enter the dimensions of the area you plan to deck, and the calculator will estimate how many Signature boards, fixings, and accessories you'll need for your project.

Yes. We provide samples for Cladco decking ranges, allowing you to see first-hand the quality, colour and texture of our boards. Please see our website here.

Unfortunately, we’re unable to cut boards to length or carry out any cutting on our premises. However, the boards can be easily cut using a traditional saw - just be sure to take care and follow appropriate safety precautions when doing so.

Choosing a style of balustrade for your property is a tough decision. Different materials bring distinctive styles, features and benefits, and at Cladco, we offer a premium powder-coated aluminium balustrade system that has superior strength properties when compared to alternatives on the market. The great choice with Cladco aluminium balustrade is that it can be painted, meaning you can ensure it complements any design it is attached to. Alternative options available on the market are timber, glass, composite or wire.

Timber balustrades are more likely to need constant care and maintenance and may not last as long. Glass balustrades also require significant maintenance and thorough cleaning to maintain a flawless finish. The Cladco powder-coated balustrade is a superior material, meaning it does not need ongoing maintenance and will stand the test of time with its long-lasting and durable properties. See here for more information about Cladco aluminium balustrades.
