6 Advantages of Composite Decking

Composite decking from the Composite Wood Company is one of the fastest growing home improvement products in the UK. There are many advantages of composite decking that are making it a great option for many homes.

Composite Wood is traditional timber mixed with other recycled materials to create a product that is stronger and more durable with the same natural look and appeal.

Composite wood gives those wishing to improve their garden a low maintenance timber alternative that is ideal for decking, fencing and garden rooms. The advantages of composite decking make it a superb garden improvement which can be installed quickly and easily.

Low maintenance

Traditional timber decking requires staining or painting to protect it from the elements. One of the advantages of composite decking is that as soon as it’s fitted it’s ready to use. There’s no need to apply a protective coating to your decking as it’s already protected from the elements.

Composite decking makes the annual chore of scrubbing and recoating your deck a thing of the past.

As soon as Composite decking is fitted you can entertain guests, have barbecues or relax in your hot tub. It’s also as quick and easy to install as timber.

More Cost Effective

Over time, wooden decking can lose its colour. It also needs frequent maintenance and some boards may have to be replaced due to warping and splitting. All of this mounts up, costing more time and money. Composite decking is cheaper in the long term as it doesn’t require staining and has added strength for protection against fading, splitting and warping.

Once it’s installed our Composite Wood decking is guaranteed to last for at least 10 years so you can focus on the important stuff like enjoying your garden.

Safe

Another one of the advantages of composite decking is its safety features. Our Composite Wood decking and fencing is splinter free making it safer, which is ideal if you have your own hot tub or pool. It’s also perfect for children’s paddling pools. Our decking is also completely slip-resistant so you can still safely use your new garden space when it’s wet.

Traditional timber can become mouldy, which will affect its strength and make it incredibly slippery. To combat this our composite decking is built with added protection to make it resistant to mould and algae. It requires no additional chemicals or maintenance to keep it looking great.

Neat and Clean Finish

Our Composite Wood comes with our clever concealed joining system which ensures there are no exposed nails or bolts. The system makes it quick and easy to install your new decking, creating clean precise lies in your garden.

Colour and Durability

Timber decking requires frequent staining to keep its colour. That’s not the case with composite decking, which has added protection from UV rays preventing it from fading. Our Composite Wood decking comes in 4 unique colour options to match the style of your garden. Each design has improved colour stabilisers to ensure your new decking won’t fade from exposure to the sun and will continue to look great for years to come.

Composite Wood also has improved high impact strength and scratch resistance to protect your new decking from damage caused by garden furniture. It even passes the stiletto test, so when you throw a party the deck keeps looking fantastic.

Composite wood is a more durable option compared to timber and is made for frequent use by children, pets, party-goers, bicycles and barbecues.

Sustainable

Thanks to a durable structure and design Composite Wood decking will last a lot longer than timber decking and still look great. With our composite decking we only use wood sourced from timber mills and workshops, which means they are natural and haven’t been strained.

Our Composite Wood products are RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) green product compliant as we not only recycle the timber for our composite decking but we also use recycled plastic polymer. We ethically source our materials and construct our decking, fencing and garden rooms from traceable recycled wood.
