Composite decking is one of the newest innovations in the decking world. The technically named "wood-plastic composite" or WPC, is comprised of recycled plastic and wood by products. Composite decking is an amazing material capable of a variety of mechanical feats that standard natural hardwood decking is simply incapable of in terms of placement, formation, durability, and color fastness.
Composite decking, as a result of being a wood-plastic composite, can be bent, formed, and moulded. As a result, composite decking opens up whole new dimensional possibilities for your deck: Maybe you would like a figure eight, some wavy curved decking planks running the length of one side of your house? All of this is possible with composite decking. In less extreme situations, the pliability of composite decking can be useful when you have a unique spatial constrictions to work around.
In addition to its spatial versatility, composite decking features superior color fastness when compared to natural wood decking. It also doesn't require staining or oiling, as it is manufactured with their coloring already applied within the decking itself. Composite exterior decking is very resistant to rot. With regard to durability, it can sometimes slightly deform in extremely hot weather. Luckily, when it comes to composite decking, Portland's temperate climate doesn't pose much of a threat, as Oregon's weather brings greater danger of rain, moisture, and fungus damage, to which composite decking is largely immune. Composite decking is also resistant to termites.
