Are you building a new home in Yeppoon, Warwick, Emerald, Gympie, and Dalby? Or perhaps purchasing an existing commercial establishment? Or maybe just want to improve the aesthetics, functionality, or security of your property? If yes, then it pays to get a good idea of the many different types of construction materials that can be used or have been used in an existing or upcoming building project. After all, a building project means spending money and it is only natural for you to make sure that you get your money’s worth.

Real wood is among the most common building materials used. It has been around for centuries and is known for its many advantages. These include being lightweight, easy to work with, and simple to accessorize. However, since we’ve been using this material for the longest time, we’ve also been made aware of its many disadvantages. We love the classy and rustic look of wood but we have to spend quite a lot to maintain its appeal. Also, real wood is prone to pest infestation, decay, warping, and many more. Due to all these drawbacks, an increasing number of property owners and builders look for better alternatives. One of the top choices is composite timber.

Is Composite Timber A Good Alternative?

Composite Timber has grown extremely popular over the years because it is a simple, hassle-free option for consumers and builders alike. Composite timber was introduced during the 1990s and it has grown in popularity ever since its first appearance on the market. Suppliers of composite timber have constantly introduced newer versions, making composite timber more efficient as years went by. Basically, they are made of a mix of hardwood waste and recycled plastics. Wood fiber and plastics are combined with pigments, ultraviolet inhibitors, and other components. They are heated, extruded, texture, and embossed onto a warm surface well before it cools down.

Compared to regular wood, composite timber is splinter free and slip resistant. It does not require screws and nails due to its innovative fittings. It also requires occasional cleaning and does not neat sealing, staining, or painting. Traditional timber, although it looks good, easily weathers. It can easily warp and fade as well. However, composite timber requires minimal maintenance and it can stand up to mold and rot. It will not split and splinter, making it perfectly suited for withstanding environmental impacts. Apart from lasting much longer, it won’t crack or even disintegrate because of the exposure to the sun, thanks to composite timber’s UV stability. In terms of the cost, we know that wood has a lesser price compared to composite. But if you add all the expenses of ongoing maintenance, composite timber becomes a more affordable option.
