Composite wood decking offers many advantages over "traditional" wood. Here’s how to care for it so it stays in perfect condition over time.
The key benefits of composite wood decking
1. Composite wood is a blend of wood fibers and mostly recycled plastic fibers, typically polypropylene, polyethylene, or PVC.
2. The wood-to-resin ratio varies from one manufacturer to another, and from one quality to another. This material is colored throughout.
3. It is rot-proof. This offers significant maintenance advantages compared to wood, which quickly turns grey over time.
However, the material remains porous and does not prevent grease, wine, dirt, or tree resin from penetrating the pores or settling on the surface. It can be very difficult to remove these stubborn stains without risking discoloration by using overly harsh products. In addition, UV rays tend to fade the material over time, depending on the color and quality of the decking boards. Starbrite, a specialist manufacturer for over 40 years, has developed a range of products to clean and protect porous and colored materials. This allows you to care for composite wood without compromising its quality and to restore faded colors over the years. The Special Composite Wood Concentrated Cleaner is ideal for bringing your deck back to life.
Safety: Even composite wood decking becomes slippery and hazardous if not properly maintained!
