string(1810) "Information about Composite Decking:
Composite decking is made from recycled plastic and wood so it is kinder on the environment, requires no maintenance and will last for decades. The manufacturing process involves the use of modern machinery which creates a hard surface and as a result it will never decay. The modern clip system secures the deck boards to the joists so there are no screws exposed unlike timber decking; so it can be walked upon in bare feet, just like an extension to a home. All our decking comes in anti-slip form while timber decking can be dangerous when wet or in winter.
Wooden decking is very prone to mold and rot, it needs lots of maintenance. On the contrary, composite decking is very resistant to rot and is therefore easy to maintain. The material doesn't require repainting or resealing. However, it is good to regularly clean the composite deck.
Your composite deck won't scratch easily like timber decks do, but there is always the potential for scratching and scuffs, and there are ways you can avoid scratches to the surface of your composite deck and care for it to ensure it stays looking as it was designed.
Current estimates have the lifespan of modern composite decks at between 30-50 years, depending on how well they were installed, cared for, and maintained, imagine known your composite decking could last up to 50 years, this is surely a no brainer choice over other decking options.

string(1414) "How is Composite Decking Manufactured?
Composite decking is manufactured by combining wood waste, such as sawdust and smaller wood dust fibers, with polyethylene plastic. The material is often recycled from plastic bottles and milk jugs. The combination is heated and extruded into standard 1- and 2-inch by 6-inch decking boards, which are often stamped with a wood grain pattern to resemble real wood. Composite decking can be cut, screwed and nailed like wood decking boards, but it can’t be sanded, shaped or power-washed.
Modern composite boards are treated with ultraviolet inhibitors and borate preservatives to resist fading, moisture and mold. (Moisture and mold were the Achilles’ heel of first-generation Trex boards.) Many are capped with a surface layer of PVC to completely seal out the elements.
Composite boards can be solid all the way through, or manufactured with hollow cores making them lighter and saving on materials. Some are milled with tongues and grooves, and some have grooves for fastening to deck joists with hidden fasteners.
