benefits of COMPOSITE decking
Composite decking is becoming an increasingly popular choice for decking in Melbourne. This is especially true over the last few years. Part of the increase in popularity is due to composite decking looking more like real timber. This means you can now get the look and feel of real timber decking but without the hassle..
In addition, recent advances in technology has made composite decking more durable. This has been achieved by producing decking with a hard plastic shell bonded to composite boards. This not only improves durability but also makes the composite decking less prone to scratches, fading, staining or mould.
Here are just a few of the benefits of composite decking:
1. ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
A lot of composite decking now uses recycled material. For example, ModWood uses recycled milk containers and reclaimed pine dust for their composite decking. As well, the decking doesn’t contain any chemicals that can leach out into the environment.
If using environmentally friendly composite decking is important to you, make sure you check the environmental credentials of the decking you are intending to use. For instance, does the composite timber have a Global Green Tag certification?
2. GREAT AROUND SWIMMING POOLS
Composite decking is a great choice for decking around swimming pools. One of the reasons for this is that you won’t get splinters from composite decking. This is important as you are likely to be in bare feet when you are relaxing around your swimming pool!
Many types of composite decking now have anti slip features, making them especially safe around swimming pools. As well, if you are concerned about your deck getting too hot it is best that you choose a light colour composite decking.
3. LITTLE MAINTENACE REQUIRED
Composite decking will never need to be sanded or resealed to maintain its colour. In fact, composite decking is designed to keeps its colour over its long life.
