The Benefits of Composite Decking vs. Wood Decking

Like many homeowners, you may have deck that is worn out and needs repairs or a total upgrade. In addition, you now have the opportunity to choose composite decking materials for your new deck. With this type of decking material, you can experience an array of important benefits with your deck. At UglyDeck, we are your trusted source for decking materials, including composite decking. Twin Cities’ homeowners can benefit significantly from the decking products we offer.

Composite decking consists of lumber material with multiple elements, including plastic, wood, and binding agents. Some of the most important benefits provided by this type of decking include the following:

Durability

The technology in composite decking material that makes it resistant to decay also makes it resistant to splintering and cracking, enabling your deck to remain durable and comfortable to walk on for many years. On the other hand, wood decking is susceptible to cracking and splintering unless it is carefully attended to with protective coating applications from year to year.

Low Maintenance Costs

With standard wood decking, you need to stain, and in some cases sand and paint, on a routine basis to maintain the integrity and appearance of your deck. With composite decking, you have a prefinished material that only requires an occasional cleaning with soap and water. Also, over the course of time, composite decking proves to be less expensive than traditional wood decking because of its resistance to insects, mold, and other causes of decay and deterioration.

Visual Appeal

Composite decking includes complex grain patterns and streaks that reflects the natural appeal and beauty of authentic wood. This decking material is available in various shades and can portray the beauty of exotic woods.

This Spring and Summer, why not choose a decking material that not only offers a beautiful appearance, but also exceptional durability and minimal maintenance from year to year?
