What are the benefits of composite decking?

Here at Pegram Builders, we believe that composite decking offers a multitude of benefits that make it an attractive choice for homeowners. Unlike traditional wood decking, composite materials are engineered to resist weathering, rot, and insect damage, ensuring a long-lasting and low-maintenance outdoor surface. This durability translates to fewer repairs and replacements over time, providing significant cost savings. Additionally, composite decking is often made from recycled materials, making it an eco-friendly option that reduces environmental impact. With a wide range of colors and textures available, composite decking also allows for versatile design options, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of any outdoor space while providing a comfortable and functional area for relaxation and entertainment.

Low Maintenance:

Composite decking is less likely to rot and warp over time compared to real wood decking. This is why composite decking is considered “low maintenance”. It is long-lasting because of its durability to weather and regular wear-and-tear. 

Sustainable:

Most composite decking consists of recycled materials such as plastics, wood, and polymer. Some composite decking is made from a blend of plastics and wood, and some are 100% polymer. Typically, composite decking is made up of around 95% purely recycled materials making it a sustainable choice for builders. 

Wide range of options:

With composite decking, you have a wide range of colors, textures, and styles you can choose from for your decking. We use companies such as Trex, TimberTech, Deckorators and Fiberon for our composite decking. 

Composite decking offers a plethora of benefits that make it a compelling choice for any outdoor space. It withstands the elements better than traditional wood, and minimizes the need for frequent maintenance and replacements. The resistance to rot, splintering, and insect damage enhances its longevity, while its low-maintenance nature saves both time and effort. Additionally, composite decking provides a wide range of aesthetic options, allowing homeowners to achieve the look they desire without sacrificing performance. By combining these practical advantages with its environmental benefits, such as being made from recycled materials, composite decking proves to be a smart and sustainable investment for any outdoor project.
