Why We Love Composite Decking

Why We Love Composite Decking

As your trusted deck contractors, we have a bias toward one type of decking: composite decking. From its durability to variety in color options, we’re sure that you will love this particular material as much as we do. Maris Home Improvements explains why composite decking is great for you. 

Extremely Durable

A well-constructed deck should have the durability, strength, and resistance to wear and tear to accommodate a specific number of individuals at one time. Since composite is made out of different materials, you can expect the deck to have those qualities for years to come.

Low Maintenance Features

A deck made of composite material won’t break down or rot like wood. You also don’t have to think about applying a new stain or a fresh coat of paint on the surfaces. It doesn’t require as much maintenance as other decks made of wood – an occasional power wash is all you need to keep it looking good as new.

Eco-Friendly

Unlike wood based decks, composite deck material last much longer, are more durable, and offer ultra low maintenance. With this choice, you save the environment by limiting the number of trees cut to make decks and minimizing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills.

Wide Variety of Colors

A typical wood deck that’s stained or painted is usually touched up every few years. A composite deck, meanwhile, doesn’t need any of that. It has a wide variety of colors and finishes that wood decking doesn’t have. The best part? Whatever hue or shade you choose, it will remain the same over its lifetime.

Composite is among the many materials we use to install new decks for homeowners in the local area.
