2023 - Our journey to discover Silvadec® composite wood installations takes us through Switzerland to Neuchâtel, where we discover a balcony-deck of approximately 25m². We reveal the reasons that led this young retired couple to choose Atmosphère Silvadec decking boards: their lasting color, the absence of treatment, and the possibility of obtaining custom lengths.

Summer 2023 was marked by a journey across Europe to discover the multiple Silvadec® composite wood installations. Our itinerary led us to a residence overlooking the majestic Lake Neuchâtel, in Switzerland. There, on the first floor, we had the privilege of discovering a warm, beautifully arranged apartment, with a balcony-deck offering a breathtaking view.

The outdoor arrangement of this space was of particular importance to the owners. Indeed, this approximately 25 m² deck constitutes the only outdoor space of their apartment. In choosing the material to cover this balcony-deck, several criteria were taken into account.

In choosing the material for this balcony deck, several criteria were considered.

The selection criteria for the material for the outdoor arrangement of this balcony deck:Atmosphère Cayenne grey board, 138mm SILAM1603

The owners were looking for:

  • A durable material requiring little maintenance.
  • A deck that is easy to install, thus minimizing cuts.
  • A material offering lasting colors

The choice therefore naturally fell on Silvadec® composite wood decking boards, and more specifically on the Atmosphère range.

Why choose a Silvadec® composite wood deck?

First of all, Silvadec® composite wood decking boards benefit from an exceptional 25-year warranty. Moreover, Silvadec® composite is a material that requires no treatment, therefore practical and economical in the long term. Colored throughout, our brand's composite wood boards offer particularly durable colors, thus ensuring a lasting aesthetic to the deck.

Finally, the Atmosphère composite deck range stands out for its ease of maintenance, particularly resistant to household stains. As a general rule, using a simple scrub brush and a little soapy water is often amply effective to completely eliminate unwanted marks.

Installing a composite deck

For the installation, the installer had the possibility to order custom-made boards, specifically adapted to this project. Thus, the Silvadec® composite decking boards were manufactured directly in 3-meter lengths to meet the specific requirements of this approximately 25m² construction site (3m x 8m). This approach made it possible to avoid visible joints (end-to-end joining), thus offering optimal aesthetic rendering to the composite deck!

Designing a balcony-deck

The balcony-deck was then carefully designed to create a welcoming and harmonious outdoor space, divided into two distinct zones. An outdoor lounge was installed to create a relaxation area, while a high dining table was arranged for lunches or dinners. Decorative elements were added to personalize the space and make it even more welcoming.

This installation on the shores of Lake Neuchâtel perfectly illustrates the numerous advantages offered by Silvadec® composite decking boards.

Not only do they meet the most demanding technical and aesthetic criteria, but they also make it possible to create outdoor spaces that are durable, aesthetic and easy to live with.
