Composite Decking

What is composite decking?

Composite decking boards are made from a combination of recycled wood fibre and plastic. They offer a versatile way to create an outdoor veranda or patio area.

What are the pros and cons of composite decking?

If you’re wondering if composite decking is right for you, it’s helpful to weigh up the pros and cons.

Composite decking benefits

Composite decking is available in a broad range of colours and designs, meaning you can create a bespoke look for your space. It’s also easy to care for and requires minimal upkeep — unlike natural timber, which needs regular staining, sealing, and painting to keep it in top condition.

What’s more, with composite decking, you can get the aesthetic of wood without the splinters, making it a safe area for children to play.

At Artificial Grass Direct, we also pride ourselves on providing eco-friendly decking solutions with our composite materials made from recycled plastic and wood fibre.

Potential drawbacks of composite decking boards

When upgrading your garden, whether with artificial grass, paving stones, or composite decking, it’s important to recognise any downsides a material may have. For example, composite decking is not completely natural, so those who prefer a fully natural material may prefer to stick with real wood.

If you have a lower upfront budget, composite decking may seem pricier than timber. It’s also worth considering your location and climate. If you’re installing composite decking tiles in direct sunlight, they can get quite hot, making them uncomfortable to walk on with bare feet during the summer. Similarly, you may find that certain colours fade slightly with prolonged sunlight exposure.

Is composite decking worth the money?

Wondering if composite decking is worth it? Although it generally comes with a slightly higher cost than traditional timber, composite decking offers long-term benefits that often justify the investment.

Firstly, it’s long-lasting, with a lifespan of 25 years or more. It’s also low-maintenance, saving you time and money. There’s no need to buy paint, wood stains, or other treatments, making it a cost-effective choice in the long run.
