What Are the Benefits of Composite Decks?

• Forty years ago, pressure-treated deck boards were the greatest thing to hit the housing market. But while treated timber holds up well under most conditions, it’s going to need work--cleaning, stripping, sanding, and sealing ( all costing time & money ).Today, composite decking does even treated wood one better by doing away with the bulk of the upkeep. Made of a mix of waste wood or cellulose fibre and plastic, composite boards typically require only an occasional cleaning.
  
  

            Aside from no more gross splinters, here are a few other benefits of owning composite decks:

• Less maintenance than wood decks
• Recycled materials
• Durable
• Long lasting
• Won’t rot away

The fact that composite decking needs far less maintenance is also appealing. A good scrub in the spring will help keep it clean and free of mould. No more dangerous chemicals that can harm the environment!
