What is Composite Decking

Composite Decking has become very popular over the years in comparison to traditional timber decking. But exactly what is composite decking and why has it become a popular choice for many people? In this blog we explore why.

So what is Composite Decking?

Composite decking is an excellent, low maintenance alternative to timber – it’s great for families with children who need a non-slip surface, or just people who don’t want the fuss of having to sand and reseal the deck as part of general maintenance.

Unlike timber, composite decking is a man made and is made up of a selection of materials such as wood fibers, plastics and some bonding agents. To obtain the decking’s final form, these materials are heated together and then cooled. Once production is complete, you are left with decking boards which look original and are stylish alternatives to timber decking.

At Lawsons, we stock a variety of composite decking products from our leading supplier TREX. Their composite decking is known for its durability and ease of maintenance. It’s strong, durable, and has a natural grain look that won’t collect mould, scratches, or stains over time.
