Synthetic Decking

Synthetic Decking

Synthetics are man-made alternatives to wood decking materials, designed with a focus on the following features:

  • Maintenance: High-quality synthetic materials can withstand the elements, retaining their color and integrity without preservative treatments
  • Eco-Friendliness: Synthetics can be made from recycled materials

Types of Synthetic Decking

Composite boards are made of wood fibers, plastic, and a binding agent. Pure composite decking can be vulnerable to the elements, so most composite brands are actually capped composite

PVC Decking

PVC boards are made entirely of a type of plastic that is more durable than composite decking. Examples of PVC decking include:
