Composite Decking
Deck building is almost an art form for many even though the cost of a quality deck replacement can be staggering. Many people are trying to be more cost and environmentally conscious when they are getting a deck replacement. Composite decking is a great way to make sure you get a deck that is affordable yet friendly to the environment.

What is Composite Decking?
Composite deck are made with boards that use a combination of plastic and wood fibers. They are typically used because they offer a few advantages over those of traditional wooden deck boards. They are more durable and will last longer. They do no weather at all. They also require much less maintenance than wooden boards do. All you need to do is occasionally wash them off. With wooden boards you will have to sand, stain and weather treat them regularly. Composite boards are able to hold their look for longer so your deck will look brand new for a long time. The value is better with composite boards too thanks to the non existent cost of maintenance. Even though they can be more expensive up front in the long run it is a better deal to buy composite. To top it all off they can be some of the most environmentally friendly deck material possible too.

How Much Does Composite Decking Cost?
Compared to similar quality wood boards the cost of composite boards are usually anywhere from 30 percent to 40 percent more per board. This means that it will cost more upfront to build your deck with composite materials. You will save money over time though. Composite decks are able to withstand more before they need any deck repairs and they need minimal if any maintenance.

What is the Best Eco Friendly Decking Material?
Not all composite materials are made the same. What was used to make the composite boards will determine how friendly the particular board is. If you look at the materials and see that it was made worth easily recyclable materials then it was probably a good board for the environment. Just be sure to review the ingredients for any type of composite board that you are going to get if you really want to get something that is sustainable. It is an easy mistake to make and assume that all composite boards are made equally but they are not. Some of them are just as bad for the environment as any other type of board is for it.
