Composite Decking

What Are the Advantages of Composite Decking Over Wood?

There are two primary options available for building a new deck: composite decking and pressure-treated wood decking. In many ways, composite decking offers significant advantages over natural wood, making it a popular option among homeowners throughout the region. At Exterior Source of Central Virginia, we offer composite decking from Trex®, one of the most renowned brands of high-performing synthetic deck materials.
Compared with pressure-treated wood, Trex composite decking offers the following advantages:

• It won’t fade over time, so you don’t have to worry about painting, staining, or sealing your deck each year.
• It resists staining, so it will continue to look great even after years of accidental spills.
• It doesn’t attract termites and other pests that could otherwise eat away at your deck and destroy it over time.
• Its eco-friendly composite boards are made from a blend of 95% reclaimed wood and plastic film, which come from sources like plastic grocery bags.
