Using traditional natural wood for decks in your residence and/or outdoor commercial facility is becoming a dated practice by the day. At the same time, composite decks are the new talk for the town due to their durability, luxurious wood-like shine and feel, high quality, and added convenience. Furthermore, composite decks are highly eco-friendly and made using recycled plastic and ground-up wood. That is one of the core reasons why the masses are moving to composite decks, a perfect substitute for natural wood. On the contrary, traditional natural wood is highly vulnerable to splintering, degradation, rotting, and termites that eat it up in no time, leaving for structures for no good.
Here is all you need to know about composite decks to make an informed decision for deck installation:
What Is Composite Deck Made Of?
Composite material for decking is made with a fusion of recycled plastic and wood fiber, which are combined using borate preservatives, pigments, and ultraviolet inhibitors. Then, they’re mostly extruded and treated with heat. If there exists any texture, it is embossed onto a high-temperature surface before the substance cools down.
- Recycled Plastic – Plastic used in composite decks is recycled by extracting polyethylene from shopping bags and milk jugs.
- Waste wood- The ground-up wood and other residues from furniture factories and mills are combined with recycled plastic to produce composite material for decking.
Types Of Composite Decking
This excellent alternative to wood decks is classified into two types.
- Basic Composite Decking: The most basic kind of composite decking is a combination of plastic film and groundwood fibers. The plastic component in composite materials includes polypropylene or polyethylene. These plastic derivatives work great with wood fibers to make a sturdy and resilient substance.
- PVC-Wrapped Composite Decking: This variant of composite decking material is a plastic-coated board with a composite core covered by a vinyl shell.
Benefits Of Composite Decking
Here are some of the most appealing benefits offered by composite decking:
Decks made using composite material do not deteriorate and invite bugs. Hence, they last you for a very long time. Also, you don’t have to worry about splinters and walk barefoot
With composite decks, you get boards as long as 20 feet. That implies needing only fewer end joint.
With composite materials, you no longer have to worry about having to bleach and stain wood every year or more frequently, and so, you save a lot of money by not using these cleaning agents and coatings. As for the high cost of composite materials, you can have it compensated in almost five years.
These materials hold great eco-friendly sentiment due to high recycled content as every 10 square feet of composite boards contain over 3000 recycled plastic shopping bags.
Fading in composite decks only happens for the initial two to three months upon sun exposure, and then it stops.
