Terrace & Pool Decking in North Cyprus
Barışel's three composite decking ranges — Duro 3.0, 3D Emboss and Composite Decks — share the same general purpose but differ in surface finish, documented performance data and price position. For a terrace or pool surround, the practical differences are worth knowing before you pick a colour.
All three are wood-plastic composite boards, so none of them need staining, sealing or sanding the way timber decking does. Where they differ is surface technology: Duro 3.0's co-extrusion capsule is built for oil/stain resistance and low fade; 3D Emboss uses a deep layered embossing for a matte, non-glare finish that suits sea-facing terraces; Composite Decks (Classic Line) is the wider, more budget-positioned range with a documented slip-resistance rating from CEN/TS 15676 testing.
None of the three product pages publish a blanket "pool-safe" or "waterproof deck" claim, and we won't invent one here — what's documented is board-level water absorption and slip class, which you can check against your specific pool-edge or wet-area requirement before ordering.
Duro 3.0 vs. 3D Emboss vs. Composite Decks
Duro 3.0
Co-extrusion capsule, 8 colours, EasyChange PRO demountable fixing.
- R11 slip class at 25.0° test angle
- 20-year system warranty on the EasyChange PRO substructure
- 140 × 22 × 2180 mm board
3D Emboss
Deep 3D embossed wood-grain, matte finish, 9 natural colours.
- Class 1 biological resistance (fungi/termites/insect larvae)
- 24h water absorption: 0.15% mass, no volumetric change
- Hollow-core, lighter profile
Composite Decks
Classic Line / Wood Composite Systems, 7 colours, 2 grain patterns.
- Slip resistance 69.3 (dry) / 55.0 (wet), CEN/TS 15676
- 28-day water absorption 4%, thickness swelling 1.5%
- Fire class Dfl, EN 13501-1
What to Check Before Ordering
- Slip class near water: compare the documented R11 (Duro 3.0) and 69.3/55.0 dry/wet (Composite Decks) figures against your pool-edge or wet-area requirement.
- Glare near a pool or sea view: 3D Emboss's matte, non-glare surface is specified for exactly this kind of light condition.
- Substructure and access: all three can be installed on the EasyChange PRO-style rail-and-clip system covered on our Support Products page.
- Budget position: Composite Decks (Classic Line) is positioned as the more budget-conscious range within the same product family.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which decking has the best documented slip resistance for a pool edge?
Duro 3.0 has an R11 slip class (25.0° test angle); Composite Decks has a documented 69.3 (dry) / 55.0 (wet) rating under CEN/TS 15676. Tell us your pool-edge requirement and we can compare the two against it.
Which range is best for a sea-view terrace?
3D Emboss's matte, non-glare embossed finish is specified for exactly this kind of bright, reflective light condition.
Is any of these decking boards described as waterproof?
No — we don't use that term. What's documented is board-level water absorption (0.15% mass for 3D Emboss over 24h; 4% over 28 days for Composite Decks) and slip class, not a blanket waterproof claim.
What's the most budget-friendly option?
Composite Decks (Classic Line) is positioned as the wider, more budget-conscious range.
Can these boards be installed without screws or adhesive?
Yes — the EasyChange PRO rail-and-clip system (see our Support Products page) is a demountable, tool-free fixing system used with Duro 3.0.
