This year's hugely popular Lawns and Beaulieu shows provided the perfect platform for L.B. Plastics to showcase its SheerGrain decking to the holiday home industry and its customers.
Following its launch last year, SheerGrain's popularity has grown to such an extent that L.B. Plastics has increased output and switched manufacture of the product closer to home - from the United States to Derbyshire. SheerGrain is now also supplied in 200mm wide planks to better suit the UK marketplace and continues to be uniquely produced using calcium organic stabilised, lead-free PVC.
SheerGrain decking offers the appearance and style of a freshly stained timber deck, without the hassle of maintenance that real timber brings. Made from a proven, industry-leading technology that gives unsurpassed weathering performance and fade resistance, SheerGrain decking is available in the popular oak colour and has a patented one-piece design for quick installation.
Sheerline product manager at L.B Plastics, Richard Sampson says, "SheerGrain has really taken off as the holiday home sector strives to combine excellent visual appeal with performance. Many customers are seeing how it overcomes the issues that timber or composite decking brings without impacting on visual appeal, making problems including rotting, moisture and fading a thing of the past.
"SheerGrain decking provides a product that is easy to clean, low maintenance and has hidden fasteners for a clean, streamlined look. Further benefits come with it being slip-resistant, non-splintering and offering a foot-friendly surface.
"All these qualities not only make SheerGrain perfect for holiday homes but also for domestic use. We are receiving enquiries from customers interested in complementing their conservatories with SheerGrain decking "
Since its launch in the UK market, the Sheerline range of products has extended significantly to include ramps, steps, fencing and balustrading products which all echo the robust and stylish qualities of the original decking system. In addition to introducing new products including SheerGrain decking, customers have also been given a wide choice of deck designs installed by a national network of Sheerline registered installers.
Customers will have another opportunity to see SheerGrain decking at the 2009 Scottish Caravan and Outdoor Leisure Show which will be held at the SECC in Glasgow in February.
