The benefits of composite decking

Sitting on my parents decking watching the sun go down is one of my favourite memories of summer, but I also have my fair share of bad memories. Their decking is quite traditional and made of wood and I remember spending an entire weekend using a jet wash to clean the decking and the following weekend sanding it down (not too many splinters) and treating it with sealant.

If, like me, you are looking for a low maintenance deck so you can enjoy those sunsets in peace then look no further. Composite (also known as WPC) decking is the ideal solution being very low maintenance and eco-friendly.

What is a composite deck?

Composite decks come in a plank form, similar to traditional treated wood planks They are made from a mixture of certified wood and recycled high density polyethylene plastic making them pretty eco-friendly and are available in a variety of warm tones and wood colours. Teckwood has also added enhanced wood grain effects.

What are the benefits of a composite deck?

The decking is dual sided too, you can choose between a traditional castellated finish or a pleasing wood grain effect. All the decking needs to keep it looking pristine is an occasional scrub. Choose Teckwood decking and you can look forward to creating happy decking memories.
