Continuous surfaces that speak the language of design

There is a precise moment when the interior ceases to be such and the exterior begins its narrative. It is the threshold, that boundary that contemporary architecture has learned to dissolve, to make permeable. Decking is no longer a floor that ends, but a surface that continues, expanding the domestic space into another dimension, where the roof is the sky and the walls are the horizon.

Skema’s Outdoor collection is based on this philosophy: not furniture that colonise external space, but a material language that transforms the exterior into a room without limits, where each element interacts with the architecture in a subtle balance between design control and compositional freedom.

Intimacy evolves: when the interior expands

In contemporary living, the terrace has ceased to be an appendage and has become the heart of the home. It is an existential laboratory where new ways of living are experimented: from smart working en plein air to domestic wellness rituals, from urban cultivation to widespread living rooms that welcome contemporary socialising.

The outdoor surface becomes an architectural device that enables these uses, a neutral but distinctive surface capable of absorbing functional transformations without losing its aesthetic identity. The Pacto line interprets this versatility with its solid and robust structure, designed to withstand strong concentrated pressures. A double surface finish — brushed on one side, grooved on the other — evokes the living material of aged wood, while the three-dimensionality of the texture gives the impression of time sedimented in the material.

Sustainable alchemy: nature becomes technology

The raw material of Skema decking is WPC (Wood Polymer Composite): an advanced compound made of wood fibre and recycled HDPE polymers. An intelligent synthesis that reduces the use of wood, contributes to the battle against deforestation and generates surfaces that combine aesthetics, resistance and sustainability. A true industrial biomimicry, where technology imitates nature to overcome its limits and prolong its beauty.

The production process eliminates adhesives and chemicals, relying on extreme temperatures to melt the elements and create a durable, waterproof, mould-resistant, recyclable material that requires minimal maintenance. The Real version, with multi-tone polymer protection, is the emblem of this mimetic perfection that defies light and stains, elevating the concept of outdoor surfaces.

Spaces of representation: hospitality as a total art form

In the hospitality sector, even more so than in the domestic sphere, the outdoors is not simply a backdrop, but an active seabed of the experience. Pacto and Compact translate the most demanding standards — class Cfl fire resistance, non-slip grip, extreme durability — into a sensory grammar capable of welcoming and surprising.

In this scenario, the outdoor space proves to be a real strategic asset: a bar, a restaurant, a hotel acquire value when the outdoor area becomes a lived place — for breakfasts, lunches, starlit dinners or simple moments of relaxation by the pool. And if the environment is well-kept, consistent with the style of the interiors, functionality also follows aesthetics: more tables, more comfort, more customers served.

Hospitality, after all, is a total art: a subtle balance between beauty, functionality and welcome. And in this balance, the floor is much more than a base — it is the silent scenography that tells the quality of the experience.

Structural elegance: functionality and technical poetry

The Skema Outdoor system is not just a product, but a process. Installation takes place on a solid aluminum substructure, with adjustable supports. Stability combines with versatility of use, allowing applications in extreme climates and curved, rounded, raised surfaces.

Compact expresses at best this design vocation: full structure, aesthetic reversibility, resistance to biological agents, zero chipping, no deformation. Even time, in this line, leaves only intentionally minimal and manageable chromatic traces, without affecting the functional solidity.

Integrated assistance: the idea that becomes a project

The added value is achieved in the design support provided by the Skema Project Service. A team of professionals supports architects, designers and customers in every phase: from the technical drawing to the choice of materials to customization. Because decking is not just a product to choose, but a surface to imagine.

Towards a new geography of living

The Outdoor collection is a manifesto of contemporary design that redefines the geographies of living. Not a floor, but a landscape. Not a finishing, but a horizon. It is the threshold that dissolves, the border that vanishes, the space that expands until it coincides with the desire for beauty.
