The 5 best benefits of composite decking for your garden

Composite decking

At Savoy Timber, we’re experts in all things garden decking. So if you’re wondering what your next garden project should be, you’re in exactly the right place. We all want to make the most of our garden, especially in summer, and adding decking is a surefire way to take your garden from lovely to lavish! Today we’re talking all things composite decking, why it’s boomed in popularity with homeowners in recent years, and why it could be the perfect new addition to your space.

So let’s jump straight into some of the many benefits of composite decking!

1. Composite decking is incredibly durable

Composite decking is made from a mix of recycled plastic and wood fibres, which makes it incredibly strong and resistant to general wear and tear. The sleek look of composite decking boards is efficiently preserved by a protective polymer sleeve, which makes them highly resistant to even the harshest of weather, foot traffic, as well as most types of stains. It’s the perfect addition to any garden – especially if you enjoy hosting! It’s also incredibly impact-resistant (to an extent, of course), so there’s no need to worry about replacing the occasional board. In fact, we offer a 10-year warranty on our composite decking boards, so you can rest assured it will stand the test of time!

2. If you’re looking for low-maintenance decking consider composite

One of the best things about composite decking is that it’s extremely low maintenance, making it great for busy people who don’t have much spare time to spend on garden maintenance. It doesn’t require any oiling, staining, sealing or painting. It’s a set-and-forget option, apart from the occasional hose-down! And because it’s so durable, it doesn’t rot, warp or succumb to insect damage. So, generally speaking, composite decking is a hassle-free option if you’re looking for a beautiful and low-maintenance deck.

3. Composite boasts a number of safety features

Composite decking is slip-resistant, which makes it a safer option for your garden, especially for families with young children. The enhanced 3D grain on either side of our composite decking is not only non-slip but also friendly against bare feet. Because it doesn’t crack or splinter, you can nip out with no shoes onto the deck to retrieve something quickly after a day in the garden without worrying about any nasty splinters!

4. Take your pick from a variety of shades and tones

Composite decking is an excellent choice if you’re looking to add a touch of elegance and style to your outdoor space. With a wide range of colours and textures, you can choose a style that complements the look of your garden and suits your exterior style preferences perfectly. Composite decking has all the beauty of real wood but comes in an array of colours you wouldn’t typically see with timber, such as shades of black and grey. And the best part? It will never need painting, saving you time and money in the long run! So, composite decking is definitely worth considering if you’re looking to effortlessly upgrade your outdoor living space.

5. Value for money

Although composite decking may cost more upfront than traditional wooden decking, it’s a highly cost-effective investment that will save you money in the long run. Because it’s so durable, lasts such a long time and requires very little maintenance, you won’t have to replace it as often or spend much (if any) money on upkeep. So you’ll definitely get your money’s worth, as well as a beautiful garden addition that will be with you for years to come!
