If you are in the process of renovating or building a new deck, you may want to consider using composite decking. Some people still prefer wood decking because of the overall look of natural wood and it is less expensive, but here are a few advantages of using composite decking.
The first advantage is that composite decking is almost maintenance-free. You should wash your composite decking with a soapy mixture every so often to keep it clean, but you will never need to sand, paint, or stain your deck as long as your composite decking lasts, which could last up to 30 years or more. Natural wood decking does not last nearly as long. Another advantage is that composite decking is normally stain-resistant and can hold up to harsh weather. Natural wood decking does stain, and harsh weather also affects the decking. The last advantage is that most composite decks have built-in UV resistance, so they will not fade or lighten as much as natural wood.
So even though you may prefer the natural wood look, composite decking can be just as beautiful with many color options available. These are just a few advantages of going with composite decking instead of wood decking.
