High Quality & Durable Decks in Newcastle That Will Last For a Lifetime
The advantage of our decks is that they are all made from the same material, so no matter which one you choose for your home, it will be of uniform quality.
On the other hand, cheaper composite decks are less durable and won’t last as long.
An economical composite type of deck can be used built to almost any size or shape. One of the great benefits for people living in tiny houses is that composite decks don’t require all the lumber you would find with a traditional deck.
And since these materials come pre-finished, installation is much quicker than it would be if you were doing it yourself from scratch (or having someone else do it).
For those looking to create an outdoor oasis without spending too much money on their home’s exterior surfaces, this might be the deal they’ve been waiting for!
What are the pros and cons of composite decking?
Composites are often cheaper than other types of decking, but it’s essential to know the quality of composite deck boards before buying them. When they’re good, they’re a lot easier to install and repair.
They also don’t get warped by water over time as wood does. The advantages are negated when composites are not durable, which means the plastic can clump or expand in damp or moist conditions, and so all of the benefits are denied.
What are the disadvantages of composite decking?
The disadvantages of composite decking are its poorly documented long-term exposure to sunlight, water and general wear and tear.
While many composites are durable, others require periodic sealers or stains to maintain their appearance and UV stability. The replacement may be necessary in the case that the composites were installed incorrectly or if it’s not sealed appropriately for its environment.
Sealants contain chemicals that bind with the plasticizers typically found in composites – these break down over time leading to wrinkling, leaks and premature deterioration. The composite material can also warp during hot summer days when exposed to direct sunlight.
How much is composite decking vs wood?
Property owners may want to consider a composite deck because it is more durable and lasts longer than wood. However, the main issue with composites still revolves around the fact that they are not suitable for capturing moisture. It can be challenging to keep them dry, and in turn, this can lead to mould and mildew growth problems.
We recommend installing some form of moss killer before laying down your material or painting the surface thoroughly after installation. In this way, you don’t lose any area on your new decking from weeds seeding up through any natural cracks that might exist in these panels when they get wet.
Mould prevention also starts by keeping the panel’s surface clean and making sure there are no clumps.
Which is better, wood decking or composite?
The pros of a composite are that the material is pre-fabricated to create a uniform product with no gaps for pests or dirt to penetrate.
The drawback is that it’s typically made out of plastics, and as you can imagine, posing environmental risks. Wood decking has natural oils which inhibit the growth of mildews and insects. It won’t last forever, though, because eventually, these oils will wear out from weathering.
For this reason, it should be periodically re-oiled by sanding down the boards and applying new sealant annually.
