Why Choose Composite Decking?
- Low Maintenance: No sealing, staining, or sanding required
- Durability: Resists fading, mold, cracking, and insects
- Eco-Friendly: Made from recycled wood fibers and plastics
- Long-Term Value: Built to last with 25+ year structural warranties
- Versatile Design: Looks like real wood—available in a variety of colors and textures
What Is Composite Decking Made Of?
Composite boards are manufactured using a blend of wood fibers and recycled plastic, combined with UV inhibitors and preservatives for long-lasting performance.
- Waste Wood: Sourced from mills and furniture production
- Recycled Plastic: Polyethylene from shopping bags and milk jugs
Composite vs. PVC Decking
Both composite and PVC decking are low-maintenance alternatives to traditional wood, offering long-term durability, moisture resistance, and protection against insects. But there are a few key differences to consider:
- Composite Decking: Offers a more authentic wood look, better slip resistance, and less expansion and contraction with temperature changes.
- PVC Decking: Made from 100% recycled plastic, PVC decking is lighter, more mold-resistant, and highly stain-resistant. This makes it a great option for damp or high-traffic areas.
