ArchiPro features a wide range of high-quality composite decking products that have a superior mix of benefits and advantages. The number one benefit of these expertly manufactured composite decking materials is their sustainability qualities. Not to mention they are much more low-maintenance than many traditional timber decking materials. From non-capped to Pure PVC composite decking products there’s a great range of options to choose from for any type of deck in Australia.

Types of composite decking

Non-capped composites

This type of composite decking contains wood fibre and plastic. They are manufactured to be shaped like traditional timber planks but don’t have a natural timber appearance.

Capped composites

Capped composites feature a composite core covered with a rigid PVC outer layer on 1 to 3 sides of the plank. This helps protect the composite decking from scratches, stains, warping, and fading.

Pure PVC composites

This type of composite decking doesn’t contain wood fibres; instead, it’s constructed with high-grade plastics. Pure PVC composites have a realistic timber look. For this reason, they have become a very popular composite decking choice in Australia.

The advantages of high-quality composite decking

High-quality composite decking materials have several advantages and benefits over traditional timber products. The main benefit is they are built from recycled materials so are a more sustainable outdoor decking solution. Composite decking is also more durable, requires less maintenance, and is fire resistant. These advantages are important in a country like Australia with its very hot summers. They work well in the rain but some homeowners also like to combine them with deck anti-slip products for an extra layer of safety.

How to choose composite decking that’s right for you

Composite decking is gaining popularity in Australia due to the reduction in maintenance and costs. When choosing a composite decking material, your biggest consideration might be budget but this should always be offset by the reduction in maintenance required. You also need to consider the climate in which your decking will be located. For example, if it’s in direct sunlight, Pure PVC composite decking is a better choice as it’s more durable. The aesthetic of the composite decking is also very important as a highly visible feature of the home. Ideally, it should complement and enhance the existing design of your home which will increase its overall value in the long term.
