Exploring Composite Decking Materials
Composite decking is designed to look like natural wood, but it is less expensive, low-maintenance, more durable, and more sustainable. It is also naturally resistant to insects, rot, cracking and warping, fading, staining, moisture intrusion, and other common wood deck problems. We can help you choose the right composite decking material for your home:
- PVC Decking – PVC decking is made from polyvinyl chloride and is highly resistant to water, UV rays, cracks and gouges, insects, fading, and rot. It is lightweight and low-cost and doesn’t require as much care and maintenance as natural wood. You won’t ever have to paint, stain, or seal your deck or worry about splinters. It is also less slippery and cooler to the touch than other decking materials, making it safer for bare feet.
- Wood-plastic Composite – Wood-plastic composite, or WPC, is made from a blend of wood fibers and polyethylene or PVC. It is also resistant to insects, cracking and splintering, and rotting. WPC looks more like natural wood, but it isn’t as durable or low-maintenance as PVC.
- Proprietary Composite – Some composite decking systems use a proprietary blend of materials like recycled plastic, bamboo, or rice hulls.
Benefits of Composite Decking
When you invest in a composite deck, you can get a great return on your investment. The many benefits of composite decking make it a cost-effective, low-maintenance, and durable option for your home’s outdoor living space. The biggest benefits of composite decking are:
- Durability and Longevity – Composite decking is durable and can last for decades with proper care.
- Low-maintenance and Easy to Clean – Compared to wood decks, composite deck materials require little care and maintenance. PVC decks require regular sweeping and occasional cleaning with a hose and mild detergent. WPC decking should also be cleaned regularly, and you should take preventive measures to protect it from scratches and indentations.
- Naturally Resistant to Insects and Decay – You won’t have to worry about termites, beetles, or other pests as your deck isn’t made from real wood.
- Won’t Warp, Rot, or Splinter – Composite decking won’t warp, rot, or splinter.
- Resistant to UV Exposure and Weather – Both PVC and WPC decks are resistant to extreme temperatures and won’t be damaged by rain or moisture. They are also resistant to UV exposure and won’t fade, warp, or crack.
- Looks Like Real Wood – Your deck will look like real wood without the hassle, upkeep, or expense.
- Available in a Wide Range of Colors – Composite decking materials are available in a wide range of colors, grains, and styles.
- Can Add Value to Your Home – Building a composite deck can add value to your home and make it easier to sell in the future.
- Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly – Composite materials are more sustainable and eco-friendly than natural wood.
- Safe, Comfortable, and Attractive – Your composite deck will be safe, comfortable, and attractive so you can enjoy your outdoor living space year-round.
