How weather resistant is Composite Decking?
Nov 02 , 2022The weather in the UK can be unpredictable with summers often reaching 30+ degrees and the winters, on the other hand, being extremely cold and wet. If you live in the UK, you will be familiar with this predicament and it may have resulted in spending hundreds of pounds every single year trying to maintain your wooden deck through treatment and repainting.
However, it gets to a point when, if the wood is completely damaged beyond repair, you have no choice but to do a complete replacement. In terms of weather-resistant decking, composite decking is most certainly the best all weather solution for a long-lasting outdoor decking solution.
Traditional timber decking is not designed to withstand these two extremes coupled with some showers of rain in the long-term. The reason for this is that when the wood soaks up water, it swells and becomes bowed, and when it freezes, it may crack. Consequently, during the sunny season, the wood may become faded or bleached due to direct sunlight.
