What Is Composite Decking?
Composite decking is a material specifically designed for outdoor applications. It's created by combining natural wood fibers and synthetic materials to create a durable product that resembles natural wood. Composite decking represents a modern solution for outdoor spaces, and its moisture-resistant properties make it ideally suited to Seattle's weather conditions.
What Are the Benefits of Using Composite Decking?
Decks go through a lot! These large exposed surfaces must endure harsh beating UV rays in summer and icy rains in winter. While traditional wooden decks need regular maintenance and staining to stay in good condition, composite decking shrugs off external factors and retains its stylish appearance for many years.
Benefits of choosing composite decking include:
- Outstanding durability: It is resistant to rotting, warping, insect damage and splintering.
- Low maintenance: It never needs sanding, staining or sealing.
- Aesthetic appeal: It is available in a range of colors and textures that mimic the appearance of real wood.
- Exceptional versatility: It is ideal to use in coastal areas or alongside water features or pools.
- Environmental sustainability: It is made from recycled materials, keeping plastic from landfills.
- Cost savings: Its durability leads to savings in the long term. Although the initial outlay is more than natural wood, the material's reduced maintenance costs and longevity result in significant savings over time.
