Composite Decking FAQ

These are the most common questions that first-time users of composite decking have. If you're planning or are still considering using which composite decking materials to use, the information below will give you a pretty good idea on how to go about making your decision.

How long is the warranty of composite decking?

Composite decking usually lasts at least twenty years. This is the normal warranty for brands such as CorrectDeck. Sometimes the warranty is longer for different kinds of plants. For instance, planks used for the home may have longer warranty compared to that of the planks used on docks.

Can composite decking brands help in designing my deck?

Again, brands such as CorrectDeck have special programs and pieces of important information both from their stores and their website that will be able to help you design your composite-decking. If you really have no idea about what to choose, there's a team of designers from CorrectDeck that can give you advice on how to put you in the right direction and how to make your deck a perfect spot for you.

Can planks be painted or stained?

This is not usually recommended, since the finish of most of the composite decking materials already come in luscious colors and texture. But most of the brands available today can be painted or stained on if that's what you prefer.

Can I power wash the deck?

There are brands that don't recommend power washing the deck, but there are also those that swear that their planks won't be affected. For those brands that can be power washed though, there are specific instructions to follow to keep the texture and appearance of the planks always looking new. First, make sure that you are using a fan tip nozzle to avoid ruining the wood, and make sure to spray only in the same direction as the grain pattern.

Are composite decking materials affected by the heat of the sun?

While composite-decking materials get hot during the summer, they are already usually developed with pigments that prevent the planks from getting heat build-up. Almost all the planks used by different brands now have UV protected planks to keep your deck cool during the summer and prevent it from cracking because of heat.
