Thread: composite decking

I had a look at few types for cladding on a reno on my house and for decking. I asked the manufactures for building sites their products had been used. Yes there was a difference. Some showed clear signed of sun damage and needed maintenance. One looked poor on northern sides in less than a year up!

One I am using did not and cost better. Will look it up and get back to you asap.

Nope found it "composite timber is PermaTimber."

I looked at several brands. It took some time but do it as some need yearly maintenance in the fine print which in my opinion is silly as wood is cheaper and needs the same. Some were not great with termites which is an issue for me.

I haven't bought any yet, but I have done some research as I will be soon. Some do need maintenance, which defeats the point. Some have higher amounts of recycled timber (basically sawdust) in them which I don't like the idea of long term.

I'll have to find the samples I got from one company - their product was the best I found, but it was also the most expensive.

I'll see if I get a chance at work today to dig the info up.
