Environment-friendly Composite Decking

Article Category: Home Management

Author Name: Nick Morgan

Engineered wood is a modern technology that is used for raw materials for building decks. While they say that plywood is the earliest type of engineered wood, other new developments in materials can be bought in the market such as the composite wood. Chips and shreds coming from actual wood are processed with together with plastic. The chips of wood provide the strength of the composite while the plastic acts as a cohesive material which glues the pieces of wood together to build a solid composite wood. Composite wood is a man-made wood that is widely available for household uses. They are used in construction, and at the same time they are used in various furniture staples such as tables and chairs. But the widely used purpose of plastic-wood is for the construction of composite decking in patios and gardens.

Composite decking is said to be more affordable compared to hard wood decking. Wood can be more expensive since the material being used for decking and at the same time, they are more prone to deterioration. Decking is usually located outside of the house which makes it prone to weather and climate conditions thus, increases wear and tear. Ideally, composite material is stronger because of the presence of plastic together with wood. Another major advantage of using composite decking is that it is more resistant to natural deterioration caused by insects which can attract a 100 % wood decking. Also, composite wood are also said to thwart the development of mildew and fungus. The increased durability of composite wood has made it a staple when it comes to decking purposes for roof tops and gardens. Apart from durability, builders started substituting wood with composite wood because using the latter proved to be more environment-friendly. Before, wood from deconstructed houses and materials that are considered waste are just burned or just left to perish. But right now, bits and pieces of scrap wood are can be turned into composite wood. Such practices allows for conservation and recycling of wood instead of having to continuously use wood from rainforests.

Apart from that, composite decking are made of composite wood which already have a smooth finish, thus there is no need to paint or apply stain on them. Composite wood which has a plastic finish doesn't chip away no matter what the external properties may be. Color is not an issue as composite wood rarely ever fades. However, to make sure that you are getting the quality composite wood for your deck, always get products from the more established companies. While composite decking has a lot of advantages, the material in itself is not invincible. Composite decking needs year-round maintenance which you can do properly by washing the material two to three times a year. Also, choose composite wood with plastic finish covering because it provides more protection from external factors. Also, those composite wood made of dry wood chips are better than ordinary wood. Wood absorbs water and might damage the entire composite deck from the inside of the material.
