Composite decking is made of a wood plastic composite material (WPC) which creates a wood-like appearance, but with all the benefits of recycled plastic. This makes them similar in appearance to traditional wooden decking, but much more damage-resilient, long-lasting and easy to maintain. Timber decking, while traditional, is often vulnerable to damage from insects, mould and general wear and tear. Other benefits include:
- Composite decking is less vulnerable to thermal expansion, meaning it will last longer and retain structural integrity.
- Compared to traditional wood decking, plastic wood deck boards offer a wider range of products and surfaces, including a grooved finish to allow for safer use in winter and wetter times of the year.
- Decking made of composite is the perfect mix of affordability and durability.
