Composite Decking is becoming more popular for use in both residential and commercial applications in Australia. As more Composite Decking options and brands have come onto the market in recent years, it has helped both reduce the cost of this type of decking, as well as provide greater choice in finish textures and colours.
The main advantages of a Composite Deck over a traditional Timber Deck are longevity of the finished product as well as reduce ongoing maintenance.
Depending on the type of oil or stain used, a Timber Deck will require regular re-staining and also periodically need to be stripped back to bare timber to remove the old coating in order to apply a fresh coat of decking oil.
A Composite Deck, however, doesn’t require as much attention as timber, meaning less work and attention the area will need.
This doesn’t mean that a Composite Deck will last forever without needing some love. As these decking areas are often exposed to the elements and sun, overtime the boards will begin to fade and lose their vibrant, original colour.
