Are you considering renovating your outdoor living space but unsure of the best decking material? Composite decking, a blend of wood and plastic materials, has immensely grown in popularity across Rivervale.

Our blog will guide you through the benefits and practicalities of composite decking while showing you how Futurewood provides top-notch solutions for your home improvement needs. Keep reading to discover why composite decking could be the game-changer for your outdoor project!

The Benefits of Composite Decking

Composite decking offers minimal maintenance, resistance to stains and fading, unmatched durability and longevity, and being an eco-friendly solution – making it a superior choice to traditional timber decking.

Minimal Maintenance

Composite decking takes little work to keep clean. It does not warp, so it stays smooth and safe for feet. You don’t need to paint or seal it like wood decks. A simple wash can make the deck look new again.

This is why many people love composite decking. Taking care of a deck has never been so easy.

Resistant to Stains and Fading

Composite decking is demanding. It fights off stains and stays bright for a long time. This is excellent news for people who love to host parties or have kids. Spills and messes won’t ruin your deck! A dropped drink or food spill can be cleaned up fast.

Fading from the sun can also harm decks. But not composite decking! Its colour stays strong, even under harsh sun rays. This means your deck will keep looking fresh and new year after year.

People in hot places like Rivervale will find this very useful! Composite decking ensures you get a deck that lasts long and looks good, too!

Unmatched Durability and Longevity

Wood-plastic composite deck boards last a long time. They do not warp like wooden boards. This means they stay strong and look good for many years. Also, composite decks are safer for children and pets because they don’t have splinters.

So you can enjoy your deck with no worries about safety.

Eco-Friendly Solution

Composite decking is good for the earth. It uses a mix of wood and plastic materials. The making process reuses waste wood scraps and recycled plastics. This stops them from ending up in landfills.

Using composite decking also means fewer trees are cut down. We save our forests for future generations. Choosing composite decks over timber ones helps keep nature healthy. The earth will thank you for it!

Actual Cost of Timber vs Composite Decking

In the long run, composite decking can be a more cost-effective than timber. Let’s explore this in detail in the table below.

Factors	Timber Decking	Composite Decking
Initial Cost	Timber decking requires a lower initial investment.	Initial costs for composite decking are higher than timber.
Maintenance Cost	Regular staining, oiling, and replacing split or warped boards make timber decks costly.	Composite decking needs minimal upkeep, thereby saving on maintenance costs. It’s resistant to stains, fading, and warping.
Longevity	Timber decks have a lifecycle of around 10 to 15 years, depending on the care and climate.	Composite decks offer unmatched durability, with a lifespan of up to 25-30 years.
Eco-friendliness	While timber is a natural resource, unsustainable harvesting can lead to deforestation.	Composite decking is made from wood and plastic materials, making it an eco-friendly solution.
Safety	Timber decks can warp and splinter, posing safety risks.	Composite decks are splinter-free and slip-resistant, making them safer for bare feet, children, and pets.

It’s clear that while the initial cost of composite decking is higher, its low maintenance costs, longer lifespan, and eco-friendly nature make it a worthwhile investment over time.
