Composite decking end details and perimeter finishes
Plan exposed deck ends and perimeter transitions before ordering boards. The edge finish should suit the board section and preserve its approved movement arrangement.
Selection considerations
Mark outside corners, steps, thresholds and changes in direction. Ask which caps or finishing profiles are compatible with the selected board. A cap intended for one hollow geometry may not fit another board of similar width.
Check support at cut ends and avoid trapping the board between rigid boundaries contrary to its installation instructions. Keep access to drainage or services where required. Include edge components in the quantity schedule so the final appearance does not depend on improvised strips cut from unrelated profiles.
Before you specify or order
- Draw corners and thresholds
- Match caps to section geometry
- Include end supports and edge components

Common question
Can any matching-colour cap close a deck board?
No. Its connection geometry and the movement detail must also suit the board.
