Capped Composite Decking Product Details

Composite decking has grown in popularity over the past several years. It is rapidly becoming a "must-have" outdoor product for all homes and businesses. Composite decking is an excellent alternative to traditional wood flooring, providing the appearance of natural wood with the added advantage 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.

For decking projects, outdoor composite decking is an excellent option. Capped composite possesses many of the same qualities as other premium composite decking materials, including high resistance to rot, chipping, and warping. However, capped composite decking with a protective polymer shell is more popular among high-end deck manufacturers. In addition to the numerous advantages of composites, capped composite decking is more resistant to mold, water, and fading. This is the reason why capped composite decking is more expensive.

The core of COOWIN® capped composite decking is completely covered by a polymer shield. Wood fibers, PE polymers, and additives compose the core. Composite decking from COOWIN is more durable and safer than wood decking. You can utilize any COOWIN® composite decking product with confidence. We will provide you with an outdoor deck of superior quality to conventional wood construction.

Outdoor Composite Decking Specification

Capped vs Uncapped Composite Deck Boards

Capped composite decking is an enhanced version of the initial product generation. Compared to the first generation of uncapped composite decking, this product features a polymer shell and a 3D wood finish that is deeply embossed. Large, rigid molecules covering the soft, porous core reduce water absorption and increase the durability of the decking compared to the previous generation. In addition, it provides composite products with a cleaner, more aesthetically pleasing finish.

The color of first-generation composite wood decking fades slightly during the first few months but then remains uniform thereafter. Capped composite decking is more resistant to fading and staining as a result of the polymer shell that protects it. However, in terms of slip resistance, capped composite decking still provides a high level of slip resistance. However, it is slightly less slip-resistant than composite decking without a cap. As you may have guessed, this is because its polymer (plastic) shell is slightly more slippery. If you are looking for composite decking with high slip resistance, you should consider uncovered composite decking. Decking made of composite material with 3D wood grain or grooves provides increased foot traction.

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.
