Nowadays homeowners have a growing choice when they visit their local home center. Composites are the decking materials that have seen the most rapid growth in sales among builders. Composites are a combination of Polymer Resins and premium recycled wood fibres that offer the best of both materials.

The resins protect the wood from insect and moisture damage, while the wood protects the resin fro}m UV damage and adds stability. Additional  protection from the sun will be gained by the later addition of a Deck Canopy or Awning. In the decking material decision maintenance is another key factor. Some homeowners may opt for pressure-treated Wood that they can stain to a colour of their liking and seal.

Homeowners  who select  composites can select from a variety of  colours but never have to stain, seal or treat. For both options, a good pressure-washing at least two times per year is a good habit to get into. These composite decking and railing systems offer all the beauty of wood without time-consuming maintenance. It gives you more time to enjoy the Season, by minimizing maintenance.

The Composite looks, installs and works like Wood, with added protection against shrinking, rotting, decaying, splintering and termite damage. Conventional woodworking tools will do the job. No special tools are needed for installation. If you do choose to go with a composite decking material, we recommend purchasing all the material at on time, as manufacturing runs can produce slightly different colors.

Like most composites, individual Deck Boards will have slight {colour|color] variations from piece to piece. This is due to the natural variations in wood fibers and polymers. The important fact is to make sure that you design your deck to be useful for all your friends and your family. Don’t forget to install attractive patio umbrellas or be really up to date with sun sails. Some good examples can be seen at www.deckcanopies.org
