What is Composite Decking
Composite decking is a durable, low-maintenance decking material made from a blend of wood fibers and recycled plastics. It combines the natural beauty of wood with the resilience and easy care of synthetic materials, offering homeowners a best-of-both-worlds solution for their outdoor spaces.
The introduction of composite materials in the late 20th century marked a significant advancement in decking solutions. Composite decking addressed the maintenance challenges and lifespan limitations of wood decks. Composite decking today offers unparalleled beauty and value thanks to ongoing technological and manufacturing improvements.
Composite decking materials are now the top choice for homeowners and professional deck builders.
In Michigan, composite decks have become increasingly popular for enhancing outdoor spaces. These decks mimic the natural look of wood with composite materials, providing an ideal balance between traditional aesthetics and modern functionality.
The Limitations of Natural Wood Decks
Many homeowners choose wood decking because of its rustic, natural appearance, ignoring all of the benefits that composite decking has to provide.
Nothing is like laying out on your composite deck on a warm summer day. Here, you can soak up the sun’s rays while sipping a cool beverage. However, a deck is more than just the ideal retreat in the summer months. It is also the perfect place to grill up a meal and entertain friends in the spring, summer, or fall.
But for those with wooden decks, the number of years you can spend enjoying this outdoor living area is limited. Wood decks require heavy maintenance costs and continual upkeep, and the deck boards, railing, and other components break down over time. Indeed, if you choose this decking option, you may have to replace every inch of your deck multiple times while you live in your home.
