The new EU patent joins existing patents for material composition in both the USA (US9676925B2) and Sweden (SE538714C2).
Flexiteeks innovative 2G synthetic teak material:
- cools 30% faster than traditional composite decking,
- is 35% weight saving compared to rival composite decking systems,
- is fully recyclable,
- and is made using a REACH compliant phthalate-free plasticiser.

There is a misconception that all synthetic teak is heavy and hot underfoot, this simply isn't true with Flexiteek 2G synthetic teak. We are proud to say that Flexiteek is still the original and the best!"
