It’s a question homeowners have been asking less and less since wood-plastic composite first showed up on the market in the 1990’s. Okay, maybe not at first since it was more expensive and only available in one color. Gray. But today composite decking companies offer new products that resemble the rich hues of cedar and walnut—minus the fading—and sales are soaring past the $1 billion mark.
Because most composites are made from waste products such as sawdust, plastic milk jugs, and shopping bags, this type of decking is an economically friendly choice, keeping thousands of pounds of waste material out of landfills every year.
As an added bonus, once composite decking is in place, it doesn’t require much in the way of maintenance, freeing you up to grill some steaks, read a book, or take a nap as you gaze fondly at your labor-friendly deck.
Well those are certainly good enough reasons to order your composite decking today, right? As good as composite decking sounds, it doesn’t hurt to gain as much information as possible before you contact your local installation company. We’ve put together a helpful list of information on composite materials to assist you in selecting the best decking materials for your lifestyle needs.
Low-maintenance: If refinishing your wood deck every year has you dreading summer, composite may be a good choice for you. As needed, simply wash down your composite decking with soapy water and a soft bristle brush and you’re done. The money you save in not having to purchase stains or other coatings will go a long way in recouping the higher cost of your composite decking.
Durability: Unlike wood, your composite decking won’t rot, warp, or attract termites. Plus, you don’t have to worry about splinters when you’re barefoot. Mixed with pigments, UV inhibitors, and borate preservatives, composite decking is designed to last a long time. Of course, all composites will fade to slightly lighter shade after the first few months in the sun.
Warranty: Most composite manufacturers offer a 25-year or limited-lifetime warranty, with some warranties being transferable to a new homeowner if you sell your house. Unfortunately, fading, stains, and scratches typically won’t be covered.
Burn Rate: Composite materials burn at a much higher temperature than wood and most composites meet or exceed strict building codes.
Everything Matches: All the different pieces you need to build your composite deck, from the railings and balusters to the treads and posts, is made in matching colors using the same composite material. Plus, composite is available in longer in longer boards (up to 20 feet), resulting in fewer end joints.
Quality Outweighs Cost: While initially you may pay more upfront for composite decking than wood or vinyl (PVC) , the payoff that comes from decreased maintenance costs and increased leisure time provides unparalleled value. Composite decking will give you the look of wood, without the concerns associated with its care.
If you’re a stickler for the aesthetic beauty and texture of wood, keep in mind that while many companies produce composite boards that resemble the look and texture of wood, you’ll be able to tell the difference close up. But if you’re more concerned with durability and low maintenance, composite offers compelling benefits, especially when you consider the time and money you’ll save in the long run. If you’d like to sip an ice-cold cola as you watch your neighbor scrubbing, bleaching and staining his deck, composite might be the decking choice for you!
