Low/No Maintenance
Made of cellulose fiber, plastic and waste wood, composite decks usually only require periodic cleaning. Composite decks withstand the elements and don't require the staining, sealing, sanding, or painting that wooden decks do. With its resistance to bugs, warping and weather, you don't need to replace uneven, damaged or rotting boards.
Safe
While wooden decks can become slippery and have rough, worn areas, composite decks are slip resistant and splinter free, which means you and your family can walk on them in bare feet without worry.
Durable
A newly built wooden deck is beautiful, but that beauty doesn't last long as weather changes including wet springs, hot summers and surprisingly cold winter temperatures in Florida wreak havoc. While wooden decks can splinter, warp, and fade, composite decks have consistent durability and reliable warranties.
Pays For Itself
Although the initial cost of composite deck installation can be more than traditional wood, composite decks pay for themselves in the long run with their low maintenance and durability. Homeowners can recoup their investment in composite deck materials within 5 years and have a lifetime of outdoor enjoyment whereas pressure treated wood decks can require replacement in under 10 years.
When you're looking for a deck that lasts a lifetime with little maintenance, composite decking is the ideal choice. Contact Duncan Seawall, Dock and Boat Lift and ask about composite deck options.
