Why Composite decking is replacing traditional wooden decks
Composite decking is a durable, low-maintenance alternative to traditional wood decking. Here’s why it’s a solid choice:
- Resistant to rot and decay – Unlike wood, composite decking won’t absorb moisture, meaning it won’t warp, splinter, or rot over time.
- UV protection – Many composite boards have built-in UV resistance, preventing fading and discoloration.
- Low maintenance – No need for annual staining or sealing; a simple wash keeps it looking fresh.
- Eco-friendly – Made from recycled wood fibers and plastic, reducing environmental impact.
- Slip-resistant – Provides better traction, making it safer for wet areas like pools and patios.
- Long lifespan – Can last 25 years or more with proper care, compared to wood’s 7-10 years.
