A crisp porcelain terrace with a slatted Iroko screen, replacing a tired pressure-treated deck.
A 1970s bungalow extended into a modern family home. The existing deck had outlived its welcome and the owners wanted something that belonged with the new architecture.
We laid 900×600 porcelain slabs on a mortar bed with a 2mm joint, set to a 1-in-80 fall. A slatted Iroko screen fence runs the full length of the boundary, with integrated LED strip lighting that washes the fence from below.
