It\u2019s not too long ago that wood was about the only available decking material. Since then, the decking industry has exploded with new and innovative decking materials. I had to make a choice recently that led me to explore all the different kinds of decking material available at the moment, and I wanted to know what the best composite decking material is?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are looking for durable decking material, you won\u2019t go wrong with composite decking. There are many options to choose from, like, recycled 100% PVC, recycled plastic, bamboo, and wood fibers. Most composite decking comes in molded, pressed, solid or hollow, those with and without end caps.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many options are available to build a deck, but I started researching composite decking more. I wanted the best composite decking material, so I contacted a contractor to find out more.

Best Composite Decking Material<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Suppose you are considering installing a new deck and have your eye on composite decking material. In that case, you are probably worried about the different kinds of composite decking materials. We will discuss important information like the pros and cons of each, and which kind is best for your needs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reclaimed Plastic And Wood Materials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the best examples of quality decking is made from 95% raw materials and is manufactured by Trex. Trex decking boards are compression-molded planks that sometimes come with an extruded outer shell. These materials are made from recycled and recovered plastic wrap and plastic bags with waste wood fibers<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make their composite decking, Trex buys around 300 million pounds of reclaimed and recovered (polyethylene) plastic and hardwood sawdust. Trex gives a limited 25-year warranty (pretty standard for composite decking) and an extra 25-year stain and residential fade warranty.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
