Why consider a composite deck

Monday, May 9th, 2022 by Maria Sotire

When building or refurbishing a deck, there are many options to consider.  Today, many people realize that they can have the beautiful look of real wood without all the maintenance and pitfalls of wood.  This is where the composite deck comes into play.  A composite deck is a man-made product with the look of real wood which utilizes recycled materials - making this a Green choice.  


Some great benefits of a composite deck are as follows:

 

1.  A more durable option than wood - Composite decking is impenetrable to water which means it is not susceptible to rot, fungi, or mildew

More time to enjoy the deck while less time working on the deck.

 

2.  The beauty of wood but without the problems of wood - Most composite decks require minor cleaning (such as washing off with a hose) and no staining or regular upkeep.

 

3.  High performance and durability - No splinters, a cooler deck on hot days, and warranties that last 25 years or more all add up to tremendous benefits.

 

4.  A more environmentally friendly product - Composite decking reduces the impact on landfills while benefitting the environment by using recycled products.
