Low To No Maintenance Outdoor Composite Decking Boards Deck Builders​

Composite Wood Decking Product Details

Composite decking is gaining popularity. It's quickly becoming a "must-have" outdoor product for all homes and businesses. Composite decking offers the look of wood with low maintenance.

Composite decking comes in two types. First-generation uncapped composite decking. And capped composite decking is the next generation. Both are extruded from recycled plastic and wood fiber. Capped composite decking has a polymer shell.

Outdoor composite decking is a good choice. Capped composite is durable and resistant to rot, chipping, and warping, like other premium composites. High-end deck manufacturers prefer capped composite decking with a polymer shell. Capped composite decking is more resistant to mold, water, and fading than other composites. Capped composite decking costs more.

COOWIN® capped composite decking has a 360-degree polymer shield. Wood, PE polymers, and additives make up the core. COOWIN composite decking is safer than wood. COOWIN® composite decking is reliable. We'll build you a deck that's better than traditional wood.

Outdoor Composite Decking Specification

Capped vs Uncapped Composite Deck Boards

Composite decking with capped edges is an upgraded version of the original product. Composite decking with a polymer shell and a deep 3D embossed wood finish is more advanced than the first generation of uncapped composite decking. The soft porous core is protected by large, stiff molecules, which reduce water absorption and extend the decking's lifespan. Composite products also benefit from the cleaner, more appealing finish that can be achieved using this method.

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.

Its polymer shell adds to the durability, scratch, and abrasion resistance of Capped composite decking as well. UV inhibitors are also included in the capping. Thus, it is more durable than the first generation of composite lumber decking. In terms of environmental friendliness and overall home value, there's no better composite decking material than either the capped or uncapped composite decking. If you're planning to build an outdoor living area, keep this in mind. COOWIN has more resources at its disposal to assist you.

Advantages of Capped Composite Decking

There are numerous benefits to composite decking trim boards, and you may already be aware of some of them. However, it may not be exhaustive, so let's examine the benefits 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. Simple to clean. For people who enjoy living outdoors, outdoor decks frequently collect food leftovers, oil stains, and other debris. These spills might be tough to clean up from wooden decks. For composite decking, however, you simply need a rag and soapy water to finish the cleaning process.
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. On typical wood decks, water can produce mold and mildew, leading to deck decay. Moldy and rotting outdoor decks pose safety dangers to individuals. Composite decking will not experience these issues.
5. Numerous colors and finishes. The majority of composite decking producers provide a wide variety of color options. Similarly to COOWIN, you can tailor the surface and color of your deck to your exact specifications. This lays the groundwork for establishing a distinctive outdoor deck design.
6. Complete protection. Capped composite decking provides complete protection all the way around the board, including the curved and grooved areas.
7. Outstanding insect protection. Wooden structures are frequently corroded by termites and other pests, posing a significant threat to your health and safety. With composite materials, there is no need to worry about termites or other pests.
8. No need for painting or staining. Composite ornamental panels are highly resistant to fading. Therefore, the strong composite deck does not need to be repainted every few years.

How to clean composite deck boards?

Cleaning composite decking is simple; next, we'll go over how to clean your composite wood deck.

Have the following items on hand before you begin cleaning your composite deck.

1. Dishwashing detergent in a standard bottle
2. A nylon broom or brush of medium hardness
3. A mop
4. A bucket filled with warm water

After preparing the above items, we can clean the outdoor deck in four simple steps.

1. Take all of the furniture and decorations off the deck. Make sure you can clean the composite wood decking all the way through. Then, use a broom to remove any loose dirt or leaves from the deck.
2. Once you've cleaned the deck, start by rinsing the floor with warm water. Then mix some warm water and detergent together. The texture is about the same as when you wash dishes.
3. Scrub the whole deck with a mop and warm, soapy water, pressing hard to get into the grooves and get rid of dirt and grime that won't come off easily.
4. After scrubbing the composite lumber decking carefully, rinse it with clean water to get rid of any soap and dirt that is still on it. Let the deck surface dry, and then put the furniture and decorations back where they belong.

Make sure your deck's joists are no more than 30 cm apart, allowing for double joists in cases where butt joints are required.

Install the first composite deck with precision using the starting fasteners. After that, matching hidden fasteners are recommended for a quick and secure installation.

Allow enough space between neighboring composite deck joints to allow for deck expansion.

Use a straight board to guide the circular saw when trimming to the size of the deck edge. This will give the composite trim board a more defined edge.
