It would be great if some of you could share pictures of your terraces. With so many options available, it can be difficult to make a decision.

What materials and colors did you choose, and why? What has your experience been like after 5 years or more? How large is your terrace? What did you pay for it? Have you incorporated any features such as umbrella stands, raised garden beds, or similar elements? Did you do the work yourselves? Do you know any reliable suppliers for materials that you would recommend? What would you do differently next time?

There are surely many other homeowners who would appreciate photos and tips. Thanks in advance!

How are they installed?

Um... side by side?
The plan is to lay them butt jointed in the gravel bed. That was recommended to us, and any concerns about expansion or similar issues were simply dismissed. Otherwise, parallel to the house wall. Or what exactly did you want to know?

In which bond? Or with staggered joints?

The hammer hasn’t even been discussed yet.
First, extensive earthworks are necessary, and a wall still needs to be built. So far, all parties involved seem to be assuming staggered joints.

I guess you might get roasted for that here. :P

That depends on the type of WPC decking board used. However, the company has a website where you can view the various prices for complete sets (deck boards, substructure, clips and screws, as well as deck pads for support, and optionally aluminum edge profiles).

As is well known, links are not allowed here. The company is located in Mittenaar and can certainly be found through common search engines.


Hi!
That sounds interesting. As you mentioned, links aren’t allowed – but is it okay to name the company? Is it "Kosche Holzwerkstoffe"?

Good luck & thanks!

Yes, that's correct. 02772/5828266. Mrs. Berisha is usually the first contact person there – friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.
