Composite Decking-An Alternative to Wood

When planning your new deck, you may find composite decking a viable alternative to wood. Composite material adds value to your home, looks good and can be used for both flooring and rails.

This decking is virtually maintenance-free and eliminates sealing, staining and painting.

Composite decking is resistant to sun and water damage. Some products claim only a 5% fade over the lifetime of the product, which is warranted for 25 years. Composite decks are also warranted against cracking, peeling, chipping and warping.

Most composite decking is as cool or cooler to the touch than wood. It is also splinter-free, making it safe for children and animals.

Most composites are not slick when wet. Some will even be less slick than wood.

If maintenance-free living is high on your list of priorities, composite decking may be the solution for you.

We'll give you an exact quote.

Choosing the right composite 

As composite decks have increased in popularity the number of manufacturers has skyrocketed.  I recently received a trade publication listing names of manufacturers.  The list was 85 names long.   That list just included the companies that paid to have their names included.

How then can one decide which company to use?  We are familiar with most of the more common ones and will help you make an informed choice.  Just give us a call.

Questions you may have about composite decking could include:

1.  What is the fade ratio?

2.  What colors are available?

3.  Can I use hidden fasteners?

4.  Does the railing color match the deck color?

5.  What is the guarantee?

6.  How long has the company been making composites?

7.  Where is the company located?  Is it a domestic or foreign company?

8.  Is the material recycled plastic or virgin material?  Does that matter?

Composite decks are a great investment but choosing the right contractor and the right brand is crucial.
