What is Composite Decking? Discover the Low-Maintenance Solution for Your Deck
Composite materials combine wood fibers and plastic to create a durable, low-maintenance alternative to traditional wood decking. They mimic the appearance of authentic wood while providing enhanced resistance to rot, mold, and insect damage.
Composite deck boards are often capped with protective layers that prevent fading, staining, and scratching, ensuring they maintain their appearance and strength even in harsh weather conditions.

Composite Materials vs. Natural Wood: Making the Right Choice
So, which material is best for you? It depends on what you are looking for in your deck.
Composite decking resists rot, mold, and insects, ensuring long-lasting durability with minimal maintenance—just clean with soap and water. Natural wood, while offering classic beauty, is prone to these issues and requires regular staining, sealing, and painting.
Cost-wise, composite decks have a higher upfront price but lower long-term maintenance costs, making them cost-effective over time. It also provides more decking design ideas with a wide range of colors and finishes. Environmentally, composite deck boards use recycled materials, reducing landfill waste, while natural wood boards impact forests but can be sustainably sourced.
Safety is better with composite decks, as they have slip resistance properties and are splinter-free, ideal for high-traffic areas. Natural wood can splinter and become slippery when wet. Composite decking lasts 25-30 years with minimal upkeep, compared to natural wood’s 10-15 years with regular maintenance.
