Composite decking is decking material made from an engineered wood product. It contains a mix of resins and wood or cellulose material. Composite or engineered wood is made with shredded wood and cellulose material, often waste products from wood manufacturing, mixed with plastic resins. These materials are specially treated and injected into molds. Typically the molds have a wood grain pattern and the mixture may be dyed to give it a wood-like appearance. Composite decking is designed to be used without paint or varnish, an important trait to keep in mind when making decisions about the color of the product being installed. There can be some environmental advantages to using composite decking. The materials are often recycled and people can use products certified by environmentally friendly inspection companies. This material is also highly durable when well cared for and may come with a warranty from the manufacturer for additional protection. Less
