Composite decking has become increasingly popular in recent years as more and more homeowners discover its many benefits. In this article, we’ll take a deep dive into the benefits of composite decking, and explain why it is an excellent choice for your decking needs.
Durability and Longevity
Composite decking is made from a mixture of wood fibers and plastic, making it much more resistant to weathering, rotting, and insect damage than traditional wood decking. This means that composite decking can last for decades without the need for frequent replacement or maintenance. LakeLife Homes is a Timbertech builder.

Low Maintenance Requirements
I don’t know about you, but staining the deck goes to the top of my list for things I dread doing, along with cleaning the gutters, shoveling snow, and washing the windows. Composite decking is also incredibly low maintenance, requiring little more than an occasional cleaning to keep it looking like new. Unlike traditional wood decking, composite decking does not require regular painting, staining, or sealing, saving you time and money over the years.
Improved Safety
Composite decking is slip-resistant and splinter-free, making it a much safer option for you and your family. Before we had our composite deck my wife went outside to check on the dogs. She stepped off of the front step and right into a splinter coming off of a wooden deck board. It buried deep into her foot and we had to make a late-night emergency room visit to have it removed. For the next year before we were able to make the transition we were both nervous about walking outside without shoes on and were always nervous about our niece and nephew coming over and making sure they always had their shoes on as well. It’s a small thing, but having the piece of mind to walk outside without the fear of getting a spinter in your foot is a huge benefit.
Environmentally Friendly
Composite decking is made from recycled materials, making it an environmentally friendly option. In addition, composite decking does not require cutting down trees, which helps to reduce the impact on the environment.
Aesthetic Appeal
Composite decking comes in a variety of colors and finishes, allowing you to choose a look that matches your home and style. It also has a natural wood-like appearance, making it an attractive option for homeowners who want the look of wood without the maintenance.
Increased Home Value
Finally, composite decking can add value to your home. As a low-maintenance, durable, and attractive option, composite decking can help to increase the value of your home and make it more appealing to potential buyers.
Composite decking is an excellent choice for homeowners looking for a durable, low-maintenance, and attractive decking solution. With its many benefits, it is no wonder that composite decking is rapidly becoming one of the most popular decking options on the market.
