Composite Decking vs. Wood What's the Difference

Composite decking has been around since the late 1980s and has experienced a steady growth in popularity over the past several years. Composite decking is simply wood fibers encased in plastic. Surprisingly, this material is a big hit with eco-conscious customers because it is usually made from recycled plastics and reclaimed organic wood and sawdust. Composite decking material is available in a wide range of colors, patterns, and textures. It's also resistant to water damage, fading, and other types of wear and tear you would expect from being constantly exposed to the elements.
