Yes, CleverDeck decking can be painted or stained with the appropriate materials however the product has been designed to offer a low maintenance solution with long lasting colour pigments and UV protection. The colour will initially weather slightly over the first 4-12 weeks of installation while the colour “beds in” and enhances the overall look of your deck. If you decide to change the colour of your decking you must check with your paint supplier to ensure that the material chosen is compatible with the decking. You may be required to apply a primer or prep coat prior to painting or staining your deck in order to achieve a reasonable level of adherence.

Your warranty may be affected if an incompatible paint/lacquer/stain is applied to CleverDeck. CleverDeck is produced with a non chemical reactive polymer base and has an extremely high level of moisture resistance.

However any chemical/liquid spills should be washed off immediately to avoid the potential of any staining of the cellulose material that will occur over time if the spill is allowed to remain on the decking surface. Fat, wine and other food stuffs may stain the deck if left to soak in over time.

We recommend cleaning with a strong detergent or Handy Andy or a mild bleach solution. Care should be taken to ensure that bleaching of the colour pigment in CleverDeck does not occur (refer to for more information). The colour in CleverDeck decking runs right through the board. CleverDeck is made with Ultra-Violet inhibitors that help protect the colour pigments used in the product from fading from continual exposure to UV radiation. The colour will soften over the first 4-12 weeks that your deck is exposed to the elements.

This is a natural bedding in process caused through the lightening of the cellulose fibre in the formulation. Once the initial colour weathering has taken place the lightened shade will be maintained over many years. The colour in CleverDeck decking runs right through the board.

Boards generally expand in length with very little change to their width. Boards will increase or decrease in length up to 2 mm per metre over a 40 degree Celsius temperature change. Your decking design should allow for this and we recommend that long lengths of decking are not butt joined to each other. The preferred method of installing long lengths of decking would be to use a breaker board between the long boards running at 90 degrees. Refer to our for more information. CleverDeck is primarily made from discarded rice husks, wood flour (sawdust) and recycled plastic HDPE (industrial waste) making it an excellent environmental product in its own right. These products can be classed as 100% recycled.

A small amount of colour pigment, UV inhibitor and other chemicals are added to the recycled products in order to produce the high quality final product. When you consider that by choosing CleverDeck you are not using Merbau or any other rainforest timber it makes your decision even more environmentally sound! CleverDeck is produced to a level of hardness that makes it suitable for the general traffic use required of a domestic/residential deck. The product is supplied with a machined, indented finish that absorbs most minor scratches. Larger scratches caused by dragging heavy objects over the deck may be difficult to remove so we recommend that any outdoor furniture is fitted with appropriate protection under the legs/feet to avoid any major scratching from moving tables and chairs over the deck.
