A deck is an investment – Make it a good one.
Whether you’re interested in a ground-level patio or a multi-level masterpiece, at Ace of Decks we understand that a deck is an investment. Our goal is to help inform you with all your options such as material needed. While most of the structure of the deck is made of treated lumber, the actual decking is the part you walk on. This part can be made of wood, PVC or a composite material.
WHAT IS COMPOSITE DECKING
Although composite materials weren’t used until the late 1900s, this material has begun to revolutionize the world of decking. Composite lumber combines plastic with wood fibers.
In your search for decking materials, you might feel overwhelmed with information. We decided to help you by providing the benefits for composite decking. After all, composite decking has increased in popularity, making it among the top choices for decking materials.
BENEFITS OF COMPOSITE DECKING
Superior Durability
If your deck is going to be the location where your family gathers, you want to ensure the deck material is strong enough to hold the weight of people, pets, and furniture. This can be expected with composite decking as they are designed for maximum durability.
Composite decks won’t rot, crack or warp and also resist:
- Fading
- Staining
- Scratching
- Mold
Minimal-Maintenance
Because composite decks have superior durability, there will not be a need for painting, staining, or sanding. They are easy to maintain, which will save you time, effort and potentially money.
Traditional wood requires frequent power-washing and staining to keep their color; whereas composite decking only needs occasional soap-and-water cleaning to retain its beauty. Staining your deck may not sound as bad as watching paint dry, but what about when you have to repeat the whole process every 1-3 years?
Eco-Friendly
You may have heard the phrase “there is no planet B”. Research shows that on average 15.3 billion trees are chopped down every year. If you start to ask yourself how you can help with the environmental impact of deforestation – we have two words for you: composite decks.
The majority of composite decks are made from recycled or scrap materials while still providing the look and feel of real wood. The recycled materials include reclaimed industrial wood scraps and recycled plastic from common items such as shopping bags and newspaper sleeves.
Aesthetics
Composite decking can be crafted in a wide assortment of colors and finishes. In addition, you’ll have a wide variety of composite accessories to select from, including but not limited to railings, stairs, and gates.
With different tones and shades of colors, it may be overwhelming to pick the correct color. At Ace of Decks we will be able to design your dream deck and show you actual images of what it could potentially look like!
No Splinters
If you’re like us and have young children and pets in the house, you know how much their safety matters. With composite decking you can rest assured that they’ll be able to confidently walk across barefoot without worrying about any splinters!
YOUR COMPOSITE DECK JOURNEY BEGINS
As stated before, we understand decks are an investment. When you’re investing in a deck, you’re not only investing in the materials needed to build it; but you’re also investing in a place where you’ll make countless memories with your loved ones.
