However, one important factor that it’s always worth considering is how weather-resistant composite decking is, so we’re here to give you the ins and outs on just that!

What is composite decking made from?

Our composite decking is made up of a combination of wood fibres and plastic, which makes it more resistant to rot, decay, and insects than traditional wood decking. Our composite boards are available in a variety of colours for you to choose from, and feature a stunning 3D Woodgrain or V-Grooved non-slip finish that’s both stainless and extremely durable. And what’s more, we supply composite decking boards in a variety of colours to suit any style. So, whether you want a more natural, timber aesthetic for your space, or you prefer a more bold, contemporary look, rest assured we’ve got the decking boards to suit you.

What makes composite decking so weather resistant?

If you’re looking for a robust, long-lasting decking option with exceptional weather resistance, composite decking is generally considered to right up there as the very best choice. It can withstand high levels of moisture, extreme temperatures, and harsh weather conditions such as rain, snow, and hail. Our composite decking also does not splinter or crack, making it a better option than timber if you’re looking for a decking option that doesn’t require much maintenance.

However, not all composite decking is created equally. Different manufacturers use different materials and manufacturing processes, which is why the recommendations and resistances can vary between manufacturers can impact the product’s overall weather resistance. Additionally, some composite decking may be more susceptible to fading or discolouration over time, especially if it is exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time. That happens over time, it’s normal, and we can give more detailed advice if you need it.

It’s always a good idea to look for decking that has been tested for weather resistance and has a good warranty against fading, discolouration, and other types of damage. Luckily, you’re in exactly the right place for that.
