Composite decking is widely accepted to be one of the most effective decking products available due to the fact that it boasts a number of qualities highlighted by a longer lifespan than traditional wood.
Are There Any Drawbacks?
Whilst standard composite decking, offers environmentally friendly positives due on the material-sourcing and manufacturing side, it is has also been labelled as being unsustainable on the installation and end-of-life side.
By mixing an industrial material (plastic) with a biological material (wood), you create a material that is neither recyclable nor compostable.
However, things are all about to change.
Introducing Eco-Friendly Composite Decking
