Composite Decking
Townsville

Today, many architects, DIY enthusiasts, and builders favor composite timber rather than solid timber for cladding, decking, and screen fencing. Why? What makes alternative timber products a better choice for Australian homes and commercial buildings? There are many advantages to opting for composite over conventional timber and the most important ones are listed below.

Durability – composite timber, particularly those that are most sustainable are made of highly durable recycled materials. Having said that, these materials are expected to last for a long period of time.

UV Stability – composite timber is also known to stand up against the harmful effects of UV rays. The harsh heat in Australia can wreak havoc on any structure and that is why it is necessary to use the right materials. Fortunately, composite timber is designed to have high resistance to sunlight.

Resistant To Water Damage – composite timber, especially high-quality ones are resistant to water. Solid timber does not have this characteristic since it expands and contracts when exposed to water, which leads to shrinkage and warping, both are huge issues for materials used in cladding, decking, and screen fencing.

Resistant To Rot, Mould, Pest – The warm climate in Bundaberg, Hervey Bay, and Gladstone makes conventional timber susceptible to rotting, mould growth, and pest infestation. Fortunately, composite timber was designed to stand up against all these, which makes it a good choice for decking, cladding, and screen fencing projects.

Low Maintenance – Another great benefit of composite timber is that it needs little to no maintenance. Unlike traditional wood, you don’t have to worry about scheduling regular upkeep for your deck or cladding, which saves you a lot of time, effort, and cash too.

Resistant To Staining and Better Colour Retention – Solid timber products have natural color choices. Composite timber is available in different tones, too. One advantage with the latter is that it has the ability to retain its original colour for a long time.

Slip Resistant – If you are installing decking, then you need to find a material that is slip resistant. Your top choice should be composite timber, which has a high slip rating compared to real wood.
