The Benefits of Composite Decking: Everything You Need to Know

Back

When it comes to constructing your dream outdoor entertainment area, a few key factors come to mind such as safety, style, and durability. You want to use a material that can handle whatever the Aussie climate throws at it – something that’s safe, strong, and easy to maintain.

Enter composite decking, an increasingly popular choice among homeowners, builders and architects alike. With its non-splintering, non-slip design, epic durability, and sleek appearance, composite decking is versatile enough for everything from raised decks to pool surrounds, patios, pathways, and more.

In this quick and easy guide, we explore the benefits of composite decking and why it’s an excellent choice for your next outdoor project.

1. Built to Last

Composite decking is engineered to handle the elements and the wear and tear of daily life. It doesn’t splinter, crack, or warp, meaning your deck will stay looking great and performing well for years. We offer a range of composite decking brands and products tailored for your specific needs, whether its UV protection, bushfire resistance, or moisture-prone areas, we’ve got you covered.

One of the biggest perks of composite decking is how little maintenance it takes to keep it looking its best. Forget about sanding, staining, or sealing – just give it a quick clean with some soap and water, and you’re good to go. Perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy their outdoor space without the hassle of constant upkeep.

 

 

3. See-Ya-Later Pests and Rot

Termites and rot are a thing of the past with composite decking. Its highly resistant to insect damage, mould, mildew, algae, and decay, so you can kick back and relax knowing your deck is built to stand up to pests and the elements.

 

4. Eco-Friendly Choice

Our range of composite decking products are proudly made from recycled materials such as reclaimed wood and recycled plastics. Choosing composite decking not only provides you with a durable and attractive deck but also supports sustainability by reducing waste and the need for new raw materials.

5. Style It Your Way

Composite decking comes in a wide range of colours, textures, and finishes, letting you customise your outdoor space just the way you like it. Whether you’re after the classic look of natural wood or something more modern, there’s a composite decking option to match your style. Plus, it’s great for more than just decking—think pool surrounds, built-in bench seating, storage, and screening.

 

6. Safe and Sound

Safety is a big deal when it comes to outdoor spaces. Composite decking offers a smooth, splinter-free surface that’s safe for bare feet and kids. And with slip-resistant options in our range, you’ll have extra peace of mind when it comes to wet conditions.

 

7. Cost-Effective in the Long Run

While composite decking might have a higher upfront cost than wood, its long-term benefits often make it a more cost-effective choice. Less maintenance, fewer repairs, and a longer lifespan mean you’ll end up saving money over time.

 

8. Consistent Quality

Composite decking is manufactured to consistent standards of quality and appearance. This means you get a uniform look and reliable performance for an overall polished outdoor space that stays that way.

 

9. Stain and Fade Resistant

Composite decking is designed to resist stains and fading, even under the harsh Aussie sun, varying weather conditions, and the occasional spills that come with outdoor entertaining. Your deck will keep its vibrant colour and good looks for years to come.

 

10. Easy to Install

Many composite decking systems feature interlocking pieces that make installation a breeze. This can cut down on time and labour costs associated with building your deck, so you can start enjoying your new outdoor space sooner!
