Shire Garden Buildings are proud to launch their Exclusive European Composite Decking Range, A UK First for Premium Outdoor Living! 

Shire has announced the launch of an innovative new European composite decking range, becoming the first company in the UK to offer this advanced collection. The new range combines cutting-edge materials, contemporary design, and long-lasting durability to transform outdoor living spaces across the country.


The launch introduces two standout decking systems: GigaShield, a premium high-performance composite decking solution, and Light Neo, a versatile and affordable composite decking option designed for both residential and commercial projects. Together, the ranges provide homeowners, landscapers, and trade professionals with a complete decking system including boards, edge trims, end caps, installation clips. Sample packs are available should they be required.


The flagship GigaShield decking features an extra-wide 200mm fully encapsulated board, engineered with a transparent protective layer that prevents dirt and moisture from penetrating the surface. This advanced technology ensures exceptional durability, minimal maintenance, and long-term performance in even the most demanding environments. Double-sided colour options allow for flexible design, giving customers the choice of light and dark tones within the same board.


Alongside this premium option, Light Neo decking offers an accessible composite decking solution without compromising on style or performance. Featuring a lightweight hollow-profile design, ribbed brushed surface for improved slip resistance, and double-sided groove patterns, Light Neo provides a modern aesthetic while maintaining excellent strength-to-weight balance.


Both ranges are manufactured in Europe using Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) technology — a blend of recycled wood fibres and durable polymers. This results in a decking surface that delivers the natural appearance of timber while offering superior resistance to rot, moisture, insects, and fading, with no need for staining or sealing.


The new collection also includes matching edge boards, end caps, hidden fixing clips, and starter clips, ensuring a seamless, professional installation and a refined finished look.
