Benefits of Composite Decking

 

Composite decking offers numerous benefits to homeowners in the Australia Capital Territory. It is durable and long-lasting, requiring low maintenance while resistant to fading and staining.

 

Additionally, composite decking is environmentally friendly when compared to traditional timber decks.

 

Durability and longevity

 

Composite decking is tough. It lasts for a long time. Futurewood is a top brand in Australia and even has a 10 Year Domestic & 7 Year Commercial – Product Warranty. This shows how well it can handle our weather. The material also fights off termites.

There’s no need to worry about painting or stains either. It stands strong against all kinds of weather as well. So, it’s perfect for any garden in the Australian Capital Territory!

 

Low Maintenance

 

Composite decking is easy to look after. You don’t need to paint it or use oils. It also fights off things that can hurt it, like stains and termites. This means you have more time to enjoy your deck instead of fixing it up.

 

 

Fade and Stain Resistance

 

Composite decking Canberra is great at fighting off stains. A coffee spill or some dirt won’t hurt it. Wipes clean in a snap! Fading from the sun won’t happen, either. The colour stays fresh and bright for years, even under Australia’s hot sun.

 

It’s perfect for gardens in the Australian Capital Territory, where the weather changes often. So, choose composite decking boards from Futurewood to keep your deck looking new!

 

Environmentally Friendly

Composite decking is kind to the earth. Incorporating recycled polyolefin sourced from post-industrial waste, rice husks, and reclaimed hardwood timber is a cornerstone of our approach. This cuts down on waste and helps save our forests. Futurewood is a popular choice in Australia and sets an example for being green.

 

Real Cost of Timber vs. Composite Decking

 

Considering the long-term costs when deciding between traditional timber and composite decking is essential.

 

Factors	Timber Decking	Composite Decking
Initial Cost	Timber deckings, such as Merbau or Spotted Gum, tend to have a lower initial cost.	Composite decking, such as Futurewood, generally has a higher upfront cost.
Maintenance Costs	Timber decking requires regular upkeep, including staining and painting, which can add to the total cost over time.	Composite low-maintenance decking does not require staining or painting, saving money in the long run.
Life Span	A well-maintained timber deck can last for around 15 years.	Composite decking can last for many years due to its durability and resistance to weather. Futurewood offers a no-fuss warranty.
Environmental Impact	Timber decking can have a higher environmental impact due to deforestation. However, it depends on the source of the timber.	Composite decking, made from a blend of recycled materials, is a more sustainable choice, influencing its popularity in environmentally-conscious Australia.
