In Beaune, at the historic heart of Burgundy's wine country, old stone cellars have found a second life. 
Fully renovated, the property now features Nuances Light Oak composite decking around a pool with coping stones. A shade chosen to sit naturally alongside the region's golden stone, between winemaking heritage and contemporary living.
Nuances Light Oak: a shade in dialogue with the stone
The Nuances range is made using a co-extrusion process that combines French wood flour with polymers for a rot-proof board that stands up particularly well to outdoor use. Its Light Oak colourway echoes the warm, golden tones of Burgundy stone: the decking blends with the façade, visually extending it right up to the water's edge.
Composite pool decking, designed to last
Installing decking around a pool calls for specific requirements: a ventilated substructure, properly maintained expansion gaps, and careful integration with the pool coping. On this project, these installation principles were followed to the letter — an essential condition for ensuring the structure holds up over time in an environment exposed to moisture and splashing.
Silvadec composite boards are rot-proof, slip- and UV-resistant, and splinter-free: qualities that are especially valued on decking used barefoot around a pool.
Did you know?
By reflecting more light than a darker colourway, the light shade of Nuances Light Oak limits heat build-up on the surface. A real comfort for enjoying the decking barefoot all summer long, right by the pool.
Barefoot comfort and easy maintenance by the water
Unlike solid wood, Silvadec composite decking needs no varnish, no wood stain, and no saturator. It stays easy to maintain: a regular clean is all it takes to preserve its appearance, year after year, with no heavy-duty upkeep needed poolside.
