Composite Decking - Selecting the Perfect Material for an Outdoor Space

Are you looking for a composite decking material for an outdoor space? Looking for inspiration? Look no further! With a wide range of options to consider, it can be overwhelming to find the perfect solution. That's why we're here - to help navigate the world of composite decking and explain why it can be a great choice.

Composite decking materials play a crucial role in creating a durable, low-maintenance, and visually stunning outdoor space - so choosing the right decking material can make all the difference.

Discover the Lasting Benefits of Composite Decking

Durability and Longevity

One of the most compelling reasons to choose composite decking is its remarkable durability and longevity. Unlike traditional wood, composite decking is specially engineered to be resistant to rot, mould, and insects, ensuring it stands the test of time. Customers delight in its ability to retain its appearance year after year, maintaining its beauty with minimal effort.

Low Maintenance

Imagine a deck that doesn't require regular staining or sealing. Composite decking offers exactly this low-maintenance lifestyle. Say goodbye to the dread of the upkeep of a decking area as no staining or sealing is ever required. Even cleaning is easy, often just involving soap and warm water.

Design and Style Options

Personality should shine through in every aspect of a home, including the outside area. Composite decking delivers a range of colours and finishes, giving the freedom to choose. Bring an outdoor area to life with complementing or contrasting colours and different layout configurations.

Environmental Impact and Sustainability

In today's eco-conscious world, it's important to consider the environmental impact and sustainability of your choices. Composite decking is manufactured using a combination of recycled plastic and wood and is FSC certified. Utilising recycled plastic material and wood waste reduces the demand for newly cut trees and finds a second life for plastic waste, thereby promoting a healthier planet.

Cost Considerations and Budgeting

While the initial investment in composite decking may be higher than with traditional wood solutions, the long-term savings are clear. The minimal maintenance requirements coupled with the lasting visual appeal and durability, translate to cost savings over time. Think of it as an upfront investment in your home's future and your peace of mind.

Composite Decking vs. Wood Decking: A Comparison

Composite and wood decking differ significantly in several areas, including lifespan, maintenance requirements, and appearance. Composite decking is renowned for its durability and lower maintenance needs, whereas wood offers a classic, natural look.

Lifespan

Composite decking typically lasts longer than wood and is resistant to rot and warping, although prolonged sun exposure, such as strong sun in summer months, can cause some expansion; contraction is also possible. Also resistant to moisture.

Maintenance

Wood decking requires regular staining, sealing, and even a hard scrub from time to time to maintain its appearance, while composite materials generally need only occasional cleaning, including a brush, from time to time.

Appearance

Wood decking's natural beauty is timeless, but composite decking offers a wide variety of colours and patterns that mimic the look of wood.

Considerations

Wood decking is susceptible to weathering, and pest damage, and requires regular maintenance to prevent splintering and degradation.

Composite Decking vs. Wood Decking: Cost Considerations

Things to consider when it comes to cost.

Initial Investment

Composite lumber can be more expensive upfront when compared to traditional wood decking.

Long-Term Costs

Over time, the minimal maintenance and longevity of composite decking can lead to cost savings, offsetting the initial higher investment.
