The trend towards making greater utilization of outdoor space has had an impact on the floor coverings sector as well, reflected in a growing demand from homeowners as well commercial or institutional clients. Manufacturers are reacting by offering an even greater variety of options, along with a series of clever new innovations.
Wood-plastic composites (WPC) represent a relatively new material which is becoming a popular alternative for decking products. This composite material offers considerable advantages in terms of its three-dimensional formability and its high degree of weather-resistance.
But traditional outdoor materials have also undergone substantial development and refinement over past few years. Special types of impregnation, for example, have led to an entirely new generation of wood plank flooring which is characterized by its excellent durability. Even textile floor coverings for outdoor use have become so water-repellent and UV-resistant they are no strangers to decks and patios anymore. And thanks to state-of-the-art production methods, many of these carpets now also have unusual designs that can easily rival the look of their indoor cousins.
The artificial turf segment has also made enormous strides, with a series of manufacturers producing quality products that duplicate the look of natural grass. Easy to care for, artificial turf is increasingly found in private homes — on balconies as well as on decks and patios. And the same thing is true of the public and commercial sector: for example at outdoor exposition areas maintained by enterprises, at restaurants that feature outdoor seating and even on traffic islands. Apart from their fresh, natural appearance, these high-quality products are also characterized by their ruggedness in the face of wind and weather. (Rainwater drainage is generally through specially bored holes in the ground.)
