Outdoor Capped Hollow Composite Decks Product Details

Over the last few years, composite decking has grown in popularity. It is quickly becoming a "must-have" outdoor product for homes and businesses worldwide. Composite decking is a high-quality alternative to traditional wood flooring that has the look of natural wood but requires little maintenance.
 

On the market today, there are two types of composite decking. Uncapped composite decking is also referred to as composite decking's first generation. The second generation of composite decking is capped composite decking. Both are created through an extrusion process that combines recycled plastic and wood fiber. The difference is that capped composite decking is protected by a polymer shell.


 

Outdoor composite decking is a great material for decking projects. Capped composite shares many of the same properties as other premium composite decking materials, such as durability and resistance to rot, chipping, and warping. Capped composite decking, on the other hand, is more popular among high-end deck manufacturers and has a protective polymer shell. As a result, capped composite decking is more resistant to mold, water, and fading, in addition to the many benefits common to composites. This is why capped composite decking costs a little more.
 

COOWIN® capped composite decking has a tough polymer shield that wraps around the core 360 degrees. Wood fibers, PE polymers, and additives make up the core. COOWIN composite decking outperforms wood in terms of durability and safety. You can use any COOWIN® composite decking product with confidence. We will build you a high-quality outdoor deck that will outperform traditional wood construction.

Outdoor Capped Hollow Composite Decks Specification

Capped vs Uncapped Outdoor Hollow Composite Decks

Capped composite decking is an enhanced version of the original product. It adds a polymer shell and a deep 3D embossed wood finish to the first generation of uncapped composite decking. The large, stiff molecules that cover the soft porous core reduce water absorption and allow the decking to last longer than the previous generation. Furthermore, it gives composite products a cleaner, more aesthetically pleasing finish.
 

For the first few months, first-generation composite wood decking fades slightly, but the color remains consistent throughout. Capped composite decking is more resistant to fading and staining due to the polymer shell's protection. Capped composite decking, on the other hand, continues to provide excellent slip resistance. However, it is less slip-resistant than uncapped composite decking. As you might expect, this is due to its slightly slicker polymer (plastic) protective shell. If you want composite decking with high slip resistance, uncapped composite decking is the way to go. Foot grip is improved by composite decking with 3D wood grain or grooves.
 

The polymer shell of Capped composite decking adds durability, scratch resistance, and abrasion resistance. UV inhibitors are also present in the capping. As a result, it lasts significantly longer than first-generation composite lumber decking. Both capped and uncapped composite decking are eco-friendly and provide exceptional value for your home. If you are thinking about constructing an outdoor project to add outdoor living space. COOWIN can assist you further.
 

Advantages of Outdoor Capped Hollow Composite Decks

You may be familiar with some of the benefits of composite decking trim boards. However, it may not be exhaustive, so let us now look at the benefits of composite decking.
 

1. No maintenance. Unlike wood decks, which must be maintained on a regular basis, composite decks merely need to be cleaned on a regular basis. This will save you a lot of maintenance time and money. This is one of the most significant benefits of composite decking.

2. It is simple to clean. Outdoor decks frequently drop food leftovers, oil stains, and other debris for folks who choose to live outside. These spills might be tough to clean up on wood decks. Cleaning composite decking, on the other hand, requires only a rag and soapy water.

3. All-around defense. Capped composite decking provides complete 360-degree protection all around the board, including tiny areas of curvature and groove area.

4. Excellent insect protection. Termites and other dangerous pests will frequently degrade your wooden building materials, putting your life and safety at risk. You won't have to worry about termites or other pests with composite materials.

5. There are no hazardous substances. Chemicals are not required to waterproof, insect-proof, or anti-corrosion composite materials. As a result, composite materials are really environmentally benign and non-hazardous.

6. There is no need to paint or stain. Composite ornamental panels have a high resistance to fading. As a result, you won't have to paint the solid composite deck every few years.

7. Extended service life. The superior performance of composite materials ensures a long service life. A longer service life translates to a better usage value.

Although replacing old wood deck boards with COOWIN boards can be done, it can result in an undesirable patchwork appearance. A better option, if your substructure is code-compliant, would be to replace your entire deck with all COOWIN deck boards.
