Composite decking is a lot like pre-finished flooring. It arrives as a finished product and NEVER needs sanding, staining, or painting -- just an occasional soap and water cleaning. Wood needs to be finished after installation and then refinished every 1-2 years, meaning you'll be spending a significant amount of time and effort maintaining that deck.
While pressure-treated lumber may cost less initially, maintenance costs are significantly higher. On average, maintaining a wood deck will cost £300-£550 per year. Composite decking? Just £3-£10 annually. What's more, wood decks are susceptible to mould, decay and insects (not to mention Mother Nature) and have a shorter lifespan. Composites retain their good looks year after year. So that new deck look you love is the look you'll keep.
Fiberon composite decking is made from locally-sourced recycled plastic, lumber mill scraps, and other materials. Using these materials means we prevent more than 60,000 tons of plastic and other waste from ending up in landfills or incinerators every year. Our composites prevent further deforestation, are free of the toxic chemicals often found in pressure-treated lumber and are manufactured in a process that produces zero water waste.
Wood-plastic composite decks are splinter-free and slip-resistant, making your outdoor space safer for children, pets, and your bare feet.
Composite decking has come a long way in the past five years. Today's composites reflect the beauty of natural and exotic hardwoods, complete with subtle streaking and varied wood grain patterns.
