ProDeck Composite Decking FAQs
Composite decking is a durable and low-maintenance alternative to traditional wood decking. It is made from a combination of recycled materials, such as reclaimed wood fibres and plastic. Composite decking is popular due to its resistance to rot and insects, as well as its long lifespan and aesthetic appeal.
The cost of composite decking can vary depending on factors such as the size of the project, the specific brand and quality of the decking, and any additional features or accessories. Generally, composite decking tends to have a higher upfront cost than wood decking. However, when considering the long-term maintenance and replacement costs of wood decking, composite decking often proves to be a cost-effective investment.
While some homeowners with experience in DIY projects may choose to install composite decking themselves, it is recommended to hire professional installers. Composite decking installation requires proper knowledge and tools to ensure a secure and long-lasting result. Our expert installation team has the knowledge and tools to handle any challenges and ensure your decking is correctly installed, maximising its performance and longevity.
With proper care, composite decking is designed to last for decades. Its resistance to rot, mould and insect damage means it holds up far better over time than untreated timber, which typically needs replacing or heavily restoring within a much shorter timeframe.
Composite decking is virtually maintenance-free. There’s no need for sanding, staining or painting – a regular sweep to clear debris and an occasional wash with warm, soapy water is enough to keep it looking clean and fresh throughout the year.
Timber decking has a natural look but requires regular sanding, staining and treatment to prevent rot, warping and insect damage. Composite decking, made from recycled wood fibres and plastics, offers a similar aesthetic with far less upkeep, better resistance to moisture and UV, and a longer overall lifespan – making it the lower-maintenance choice for most gardens.
