Composite Decks

One of the most durable and cost-effective decking options available is composite decking. Composite decking refers to deck boards made from cores of either 100% polymer material or a combination of organic wood flakes and plastics. 

Composite decking is engineered with a low-sheen, high-traffic technology that makes it last decades longer than any other product on the market. Most of the materials used in composite decking are reused plastic shopping bags, reclaimed wood, used pallets, and sawdust. This makes composite decking a durable and earth-friendly product.

Homeowners in Leawood, Kansas who want to invest in the interior of their structure will find that there is no way to go wrong when they choose a composite deck. When choosing the best materials to build an outdoor oasis, composite decking material always ranks highly because it offers great value.

Benefits of Composite Decking

While you may love the natural warmth and charm of real wood decking, you might end up hating the frequent maintenance it needs. At Leawood Deck Builder, we take pride in offering high-quality composite decking.

Read on to know the benefits of composite decking.

Superior Durability

Unlike traditional wood and even some PVC options, high-performance or “capped” wood alternatives resist fading, scratching, and mold. They don’t, warp, crack, or splinter. Spilled food, dropped grill tools, and wet planter pots are no match for newer composites. Composite decking offers an unprecedented combination of fade, stain, and mold resistance due to its protective shell and high-traffic formulation.

Low Maintenance

It’s necessary to wash, stain, and seal wood decks. This process can take several days and may require the use of heavy equipment like a power washer.

In contrast, high-quality composites retain their beauty for decades with minimal upkeep. This means you’ll spend more time enjoying it rather than maintaining your deck. You don’t have to worry about sanding, staining, or painting. You only need a simple soap and water cleaning twice a year. 

Since spills, splashes, and other accidents are inevitable, it’s essential to choose a composite that guarantees no-fade color so your decking remains looking the same for many years.

Sustainability

High-performance composite decking provides the look and feel of real wood, but without the environmental effect of deforestation. While PVC decking is made only from synthetic materials, composite decking is manufactured using recycled content. 

Strong Warranties

Lengthy warranties on composites guarantee the aesthetic appeal and offer additional peace of mind. When planning an outdoor living space, you need to consider the cost of the project.

Just like other things in life, you get what you pay for. Composite decking and railing cost more, board for the board than wood decking and railing. However, the payoff you get over time in decreased maintenance costs and increased leisure time provides compelling value.

How to Take Care of Your Composite Decking

Composite decking requires less maintenance than traditional wood. While it can be resurfaced like natural wood, it’s engineered to better withstand damage over the years when cared for properly. Here are some tips to care for your composite decking.

• Sweep regularly to remove dirt and debris. Use mild soap and warm water with a nylon brush to gently remove stubborn spots. 
• Pressure wash your composite decking boards as needed using no more than 1300 Psi and by keeping the wand at least 10 inches from the deck surface.
• Do not use paints and stains, since they will not adhere to the composite decking material or effectively penetrate the protective surface.
