Types of Composite Decking You Can Find in Perth
Composite decking in Perth
is beautiful, durable and environmentally friendly material for a deck. It
first entered the market in the 90s and has progressed dramatically in
technology and looks. Nowadays, there are more manufacturers and options
available, and it is hard to know what to buy and what not to buy.
The
quality and composition of composites vary city to city and country to country.
Most of them are a mix of reclaimed wood fibres
and recycled plastics. You can find them partially capped, non-capped or fully
capped.
Non-capped composites
The
main compositions of the non-capped composites are plastic and wood fibre mix. The boards are shaped like a wood
plank. Creating a non-capped composite that resembles real wood is difficult
due to the manufacturing process. The original products were non-capped, but
the non-capped composites have been phased out of the market. The New
Wave Flooring Company does not recommend them because of advances in
technology and issues with warping.
Capped composites
Manufacturers
developed the technique of capping to deal with issues that the non-capped
composites experienced. The capped composites have a hard PVC outer layer. The
layer guards the composite against scratching, fading, stains, and warping.
Pure PVC
This
type of composite is not a combination of all materials. The composite has no
wood fibres. It is only composed of
high-grade plastics. They have a realistic wood look. PVC planks are more fire resistance compared to the organic composites.
Pure
PVC composite decking Perth has more scratch resistance compared to organic
composite. They are also lightweight, and this makes them the suitable choice
roof decks. This material was discovered through of technology and testing. It
is durable, and it can go for 30 years without staining and fading. You can get
a lifetime warranty against termites, defects, and rot and that is why most
companies recommend it.
