Composite Decking Experts
Thinking about Building a deck for your home? Like with any Toronto Landscaping project, several variables need to be considered before construction can begin. A deck can serve several purposes. Will your deck be a hideaway for yourself? Do you want to have a small get-together or large gatherings? We at M.E. Contracting will walk you through the process, starting with the basics: the material of your deck. For this, we would recommend our composite decking.
What is Composite Decking?
Composite decking is composed of wood fiber and plastic, creating planks that can secure a sturdy deck. Decks made from this material do not require the same amount of maintenance that wood decks do, yet they generally last longer. In addition, composite decking is strengthened with a variety of polymers, which, combined with the finely ground wood fiber, create a smooth, consistent finish for your deck.

HERE'S WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE PVC DECKING :
Unlike other deck materials, Composite Decking does not require anywhere near as much maintenance. Since the material is not actually wood, composite decking is not susceptible to moisturizing, which causes shriveling or expansion in wooden materials. Additionally, other benefits that set composite decking apart from regular wood include:
No cracking
No insects
Water Proof
No separation
No staining
No cracking
The weathering effects on wood will include cracking in several instances. This can be a hazard, bringing in splinters or even holes in your deck. These same effects do not impact composite decking, so you can enjoy a crack-free deck.
No insects
You will not have to worry about termites or any and all bugs from burrowing in your composite decking. A naturally wooden deck would allow for crevices and weathered troughs in the material to allow for insect infestation, which can be a mess to clean up. Composite decking is immune to insect infestation.
Water Proof
Because PVC is waterproof, all you have to do to clean your deck is scrub it with soap and water, instead of dealing with stains and varnishes to keep your wood deck looking nice.
No separation
The stability of your wooden deck may be compromised by separation and warping. A change in the weather is the minimum cause required to alter your deck in some way. Fortunately, given that composite decking is left alone by the weather, shape-shifting is something you will not have to worry about.
No staining
Wood decks do not just require structural maintenance; they require aesthetic maintenance too. Weather cycles will interfere with a fresh paint job or polishing. Composite decking is naturally smooth and shiny, so you will not need to stain, prime, or paint it.
The Bottom Line
Composite decking is well worth your while when it comes to having a sturdy, long-lasting deck. It is also the most cost-effective option because it means you will not have to worry about the costs of repairs and maintenance. The bottom line is that, with composite decking, you simply cannot go wrong! Large deck or small, it will last you and your family many years without a blemish and can accommodate the furnishings and equipment you may want to put on it.

COMPOSITE DECK CONSTRUCTION FAQS
Are you thinking about using PVC for your new deck? We have the expertise to answer your questions as you embark on this home improvement project!
How does composite decking differ from PVC decking?
The composition of composite and PVC decking is what distinguishes them. Composite decking is made up of 80-95% recycled plastic and 5-20% wood chips, whereas PVC decking is totally made of plastic.
How to maintain Composite Deck?
Composite decks are known for their low maintenance, as they do not require staining or painting every few years. They are resistant to chipping and rotting. We recommend cleaning composite decks twice a year to eliminate dirt and debris. A pressure washer can be used, but only up to 3100 psi. When cleaning or removing stains, avoid employing chemical agents or solvents.
How much does Composite Decking Cost?
The price of composite decking varies depending on the brand and quality, ranging from $30 to $170 per square foot. The quantity of plastic within, the quality of protective coatings, the patterns, and the durability of composite decking all influence its quality and price. Trex offers the least expensive composite decking alternatives, with costs ranging from $30 to $120. Fiberon and TimberTech are slightly more expensive, with prices starting at $40 per square foot.
Which of these composite decking brands is preferred: Fiberon, Trex, or TimberTech?
The choice will vary by your budget and personal preferences. Trex is widely regarded as the most cost-effective of the three options. Fiberon is distinguished by its wide range of color and design options. TimberTech, on the other hand, offers high-quality composite decking with low wood content and long warranties.
