Deck Out Your Backyard  With A Composite Deck: A Complete Guide

When it comes to elevating your outdoor living spaces, few additions can rival the elegance, durability, and low maintenance of composite wood decks. In this blog, we’re exploring composite decks and why they are a great choice when it comes to sprucing up your outdoor space!

What are composite decks exactly?

At first glance, composite decking looks similar to traditional wood decking. However, it is crafted from a recycled blend of wood fibers and plastics, maintaining the natural look of wood without the major negatives, such as rotting, warping, and splintering. Because of how it is made, a composite deck remains beautiful and functional for many years.

The Benefits of Composite Decks

  1. Durability: Composite decks are built to withstand the elements, allowing them to last through various weather conditions and climates. They are also resistant to fading, staining, and scratching, ensuring that your deck looks just as good as it did the day you installed it!
  2. Low Maintenance: Wood decks require regular staining and sealing to protect it from the wear and tear of the elements and everyday life. With composite decking, all you really need to worry about is sweeping or hosing off any dirt or debris that may accumulate over time. It’s as easy as that!
  3. Sustainability: Being environmentally conscious is a big factor for many people when it comes to their home renovation projects. Composite decking is one of the most environmentally friendly choices when it comes to building your deck since it is made from recycled materials! By going this route, you are helping to reduce waste and protect the planet. 
  4. Versatility: With a wide range of colors and finishes to choose from, composite decks can be customized to suit any style or aesthetic you wish! From classic wood looks to more modern designs, there are many options to choose from to perfectly suit your needs.
  5. Safety: Composite decks are made to be slip resistant, making them a safe choice for families with children or pets! Additionally, composite decks do not splinter.
