Composite decking
is known for being a beautiful, low maintenance alternative to wood. However,
many people question if it’s really low maintenance or stylish. If you look at
the composite decks installed back in the 1980's and 1990's, you can see where
people may question the claim of low maintenance. Many of those decks now have
mold or look faded.
Thankfully, composite
decking has greatly improved in the last few years in both style and
durability.
Effortless
Beauty
Today, decks made with composite material are resistant to insect damage,
splits, and rotting. They do not require staining or sealing either initially
or after a few years. Painting is also not required. This in itself saves a lot
of time and money on upkeep, but the durability itself is perhaps the greatest
benefit. All wooden decks eventually begin to deteriorate and must be replaced.
That’s not the case with composite decking.
More
Options
While once quite limited in its variety, composite decking now has more style
options than ever. The composite material has a vast range of colors and
textures available. Some of the more popular options include the ones with a
more natural finish. These types mimic real wood in both color and texture,
including the natural grain of wood. It can be difficult to even tell that the
deck is not actual wood. Other types are purposefully bright and colorful to
add a pop of color to the deck.
While you may be used to the composite decking of old, the new and improved
varieties have both increased style and durability.
