A Look at How Different Composite Decking Materials are Made

Lumber decking is absolutely beautiful, but it does require maintenance and diligence on the part of the homeowner. For many busy people, composite decking is an ideal solution. Composite decks provide the same stunning appearance as those made from lumber without any of the typical maintenance. There are several different composite materials available from J & W Lumber, each of which offers its own advantages.

Fiberon Decking

Fiberon is a premier manufacturer of composite deck materials. With high-tech methods of extruding COMPOSET BOARD and forming PVC—a type of vinyl that has been treated for UV-resistance and durability—Fiberon can mimic the appearance of exotic hardwoods and domestic wood species. Fiberon decks are available in multi-chromatic colors with realistic grain details and textures. This composite decking is warrantied against stains and fading, and easily resists the effects of mold and mildew that could attack a genuine wood deck.

Trex Decks

High-quality polymer construction provides the strength and extreme durability that Trex composite decks are known for. Trex Transcend is a premium line of composite decking material that utilizes an outer shell around the main composite material to give it unmatched resistance to fading, staining, scratches, and mold. Available in several shades that range from earth tones to tropical wood colors, this type of composite decking can suit any home.

TimberTech Decking

Using an innovative mix of wood cellulose and virgin plastic materials, TimberTech creates composite decks that are sustainable, eco-friendly, and beautiful. Like the products from other excellent brands of composite decking, TimberTech decking requires very little maintenance and can be easily cleaned with soap and water.  The soap and water cleaning requires a capped composite decking, if you’re not sure if your deck is capped composite or not make sure to check with J&W Lumber.
