Capped Composite Decking Product Details

Composite decking has become increasingly popular over the past few years. It is quickly becoming a "must-have" outdoor product for homes and commercial spaces everywhere. Composite decking is a quality alternative to traditional wood flooring, offering the look of natural wood with the added benefit of low maintenance.

There are two types of composite decking available on the market today. Uncapped composite decking is also known as the first generation of composite decking. And capped composite decking is the second generation of composite decking. Both are made by an extrusion process using recycled plastic and wood fiber mixed together. The difference, however, is that capped composite decking is wrapped in a protective polymer shell.

Outdoor composite decking is an excellent choice for decking projects. Capped composite has many of the same characteristics as other premium composite decking materials: it is durable and extremely resistant to rot, chipping, and warping. However, capped composite decking is more popular among high-end deck manufacturers, and has a protective polymer shell. As a result, in addition to the many benefits common to composites, capped composite decking is more resistant to mold, water, and fading. This is why capped composite decking is a bit more expensive.

COOWIN® capped composite decking features a rugged polymer shield that covers the core 360 degrees. The core is made of wood fibers, PE polymers, and additives.COOWIN composite decking is more durable and safer than wood. You can use any composite decking product from COOWIN® with confidence. We will provide you with a high-quality outdoor deck that is far superior to traditional wood construction.

Outdoor Composite Decking Specification

Capped vs Uncapped Composite Deck Boards

Capped composite decking is an improved version of the first-generation product. Compared to the first generation of uncapped composite decking, it adds a polymer shell and a deep 3D embossed wood finish. The large, stiff molecules covering the soft porous core reduce water absorption and make the decking last longer than the first generation. In addition, it provides a cleaner, more aesthetically pleasing finish for composite products.

First-generation composite wood decking fades slightly for the first few months, then the color remains consistent throughout. Thanks to the protection of the polymer shell, capped composite decking has better resistance to fading and staining. But in terms of slip resistance, on the other hand, capped composite decking still offers high slip resistance. But it is a little less slip-resistant than uncapped composite decking. As you can guess, this is due to its polymer (plastic) protective shell being slightly more slippery. If you are looking for composite decking with high slip resistance, then uncovered composite decking is for you. Composite decking with 3D wood grain or grooves provides more foot grip.

The polymer shell of Capped composite decking also adds the benefits of durability, scratch, and abrasion resistance. The capping also contains UV inhibitors. As a result, it has a much longer life than first-generation composite lumber decking. Both capped and uncapped composite decking types are environmentally friendly and offer unmatched value for your home. If you are considering building your outdoor project to add outdoor living space. COOWIN can do more to help you.

Advantages of Capped Composite Decking

Composite decking trim boards have many points, and you may know some of them. But it may not be comprehensive, so let's learn what are the advantages of composite decking next.

1. Almost no maintenance is required. Unlike wood decks that require regular maintenance, composite decks only need to be cleaned regularly. This will save you a lot of maintenance time and maintenance costs. This is one of the biggest advantages of composite decking.
2. Easy to clean. For people who like to live outdoors, outdoor decks often drop food scraps, oil stains, etc. For wood decks, these spills can be difficult to clean up. But for composite decking, you only need to use a rag and soapy water to complete the cleaning job.
3. All-round protection. Capped composite decking has 360-degree complete protection all around the board including the tiny areas of curvature and groove area.
4. Waterproof. Water can cause mold and mildew on traditional wood decks, further leading to deck rot. And outdoor decks with mold and rot will bring safety risks to people. Composite decking will not have such problems.
5. Multiple colors and finishes. Most composite decking manufacturers offer a wide range of colors to choose from. Like COOWIN, you can even customize the surface and color of your deck specifically to your needs. This provides the foundation for achieving a unique outdoor deck design.
6. Can be walked barefoot. Outdoor composite decking will not chip or crack, while the use of hidden fasteners keeps the deck surface very secure.
7. No harmful chemicals. Composite materials do not need to use chemicals for waterproof, insect-proof, or anti-corrosion treatment. Therefore, composite materials are truly environmentally friendly and non-hazardous materials.
8. Long service life. The excellent performance of composite material guarantees its long service life. And longer service life means a higher use value.

Important Tip

Before you start your outdoor deck project, COOWIN can help you. With our important tips and installation instructions, you can easily complete a high-quality outdoor project.

When planning your project, please calculate an extra 5% of material to avoid running out of material.

Make sure the joists supporting your deck are no more than 30 cm apart, allowing for double joists where butt joints may be required.

Use the starting fasteners to accurately install the first composite deck. After that, it is recommended to use matching hidden fasteners for quick and safe installation.

Make sure to leave proper clearance at adjacent composite deck joints to allow for deck expansion.

When trimming to the size of the deck edge, use a straight board to guide the circular saw. This will allow for a more defined edge of the composite trim board.
