Choose Composite Materials on Your New Decking

Your expertly crafted new deck will bring endless enjoyment for years to come. It really is an extension of your living space where you can enjoy family barbecues, outdoor gatherings, and casual relaxation. You want to be sure it is built to last with little maintenance or need for future resurfacing and repairs.

Composite decking—an exterior building material consisting of wood fibers, plastic, and other recycled components—is a popular alternative to traditional, all-wood decks. Available in a variety of colors, patterns, grains and textures, composite decking boasts several other significant benefits that make it the ideal choice for contractors, architects, and homeowners, alike. Adding yet another benefit, composite decking materials are eco-friendly, weather- and pest-resistant, low-maintenance, and super-durable. Your deck will add significant value and comfort to your home and composite decking will give you a long-lasting, beautiful finish that all-wood decks could never provide.

Decking Options: Your Best Choice

For decades, wood decking was the popular choice in deck building. Today, however, you have a wide variety of deck materials to choose from. The most popular choice among homeowners and businesses alike is compositing decking.  This environmentally friendly material is comprised of wood, vinyl, and other recycled materials. Composite decking has been gaining popularity because it mimics the look of wood without the constant maintenance that goes into the material.

Before choosing the material for your new deck, you may want to consider what routine tasks are required to maintain its structural and aesthetic integrity. When it comes to choosing the right materials for your cladding and decking, you want something that looks great but is also long lasting and requires little to no upkeep.  Composite cladding checks all these boxes and is an ideal choice for your new deck build. Composite decking requires less maintenance than wood. Simply scrub the surface with a soft bristle brush and soapy water. This is a stark comparison to the maintenance required by wood decking which requires bleaching and staining the wood every other year.

Environmentally Friendly Decking

Choosing an environmentally friendly material for your decking is not only responsible, it’s wise. Traditional wood decking sounds like it would be the most eco-friendly choice, but pesticides and other harmful chemicals are typically used to both create and maintain wooden decks. Comprised of recycled materials and free of harmful chemicals, composite decking provides the widest range of environmentally sustainable and eco-friendly options. Composite decking contains a mixture of what is known as “waste wood fibers” such as sawdust and recycled plastics—discarded laundry detergent bottles, sandwich bags, grocery bags, to milk jugs. This diverts hundreds of thousands of tons of wood and plastics from ending up in landfills. It also saves countless trees from being chopped down to meet the demand for exterior building materials to construct new decks. Composite decking was originally introduced to homeowners in the 1990s. Back then, the only color option available was gray. However, now you can choose from a generous palette of colors to fit your home’s style and your design preferences. More selection in colors also allows for more customization, making it easier for you to achieve the vision you have for your backyard.
