Composite Deck Boards Product Details

Composite decking has grown in popularity over the past several years. It is rapidly becoming a "must-have" outdoor product for all homes and businesses. Composite decking is an excellent alternative to traditional wood flooring, providing the appearance of natural wood with the added advantage of low maintenance.

There are two different kinds of composite decking on the market right now. Composite decking that doesn't have a cap is also called the first generation of composite decking. The second generation of composite decking is capped composite decking. Both are made by pushing together recycled plastic and wood fiber in a process called extrusion. The difference is that capped composite decking has a polymer shell around it to protect it.

For decking projects, outdoor composite decking is an excellent option. Capped composite possesses many of the same qualities as other premium composite decking materials, including high resistance to rot, chipping, and warping. However, capped composite decking with a protective polymer shell is more popular among high-end deck manufacturers. In addition to the numerous advantages of composites, capped composite decking is more resistant to mold, water, and fading. This is the reason why capped composite decking is more expensive.

COOWIN® capped composite decking has a tough polymer shield that goes all the way around the core and covers it from every angle. The core is made of wood fibers, PE polymers, and other materials. COOWIN composite decking lasts longer than wood and is safer. You can trust any product made by COOWIN® that is made of composite decking. We will build you a high-quality outdoor deck that is much better than a deck made of wood.

Capped vs Uncapped Composite Deck Boards

Composite decking with capped edges is an upgraded version of the original product. Composite decking with a polymer shell and a deep 3D embossed wood finish is more advanced than the first generation of uncapped composite decking. The soft porous core is protected by large, stiff molecules, which reduce water absorption and extend the decking's lifespan. Composite products also benefit from the cleaner, more appealing finish that can be achieved using this method.

For the first few months, the color of first-generation composite wood decking fades slightly, but after that, it stays the same. Capped composite decking is more resistant to fading and staining because of its polymer shell. Capped composite decking, on the other hand, has a high level of slip resistance. However, compared to uncapped composite decking, it has a lower level of slip resistance. The polymer (plastic) shell of its protective shell makes it a little more slippery. Uncovered composite decking is a great option if you need a deck with a high level of slip resistance. More traction is provided by 3D wood grain or grooves in composite decking.

The polymer shell of Capped composite decking also adds the benefits of durability, scratch, and abrasion resistance. The capping also contains UV inhibitors. As a result, it has a much longer life than first-generation composite lumber decking. Both capped and uncapped composite decking types are environmentally friendly and offer unmatched value for your home. If you are considering building your outdoor project to add outdoor living space. COOWIN can do more to help you.

Advantages of Capped Composite Decking

Composite decking trim boards have many points, and you may know some of them. But it may not be comprehensive, so let's learn what are the advantages of composite decking next.

• It needs almost no maintenance. Instead of needing regular maintenance as wood decks do, composite decks only need to be cleaned. This will save you a lot of time and money on repairs and upkeep. This is one of the best things about using composite decking.
• Simple to clean. People who like to live outside often leave food scraps, oil stains, and other things on their outdoor decks. When these things get spilled on wood decks, they can be hard to clean up. Composite decking, on the other hand, can be cleaned with just a rag and some soapy water.
• Protection in every way. Capped composite decking has full protection all the way around the board, even in the small curved and grooved spots.
• There are a lot of colors and finishes. Most companies that make composite decking offer a wide range of colors. You can even change the surface and color of your deck to suit your needs, just like with COOWIN. This is the basis for making a unique design for an outdoor deck.
• Excellent insect protection. Termites and other pests that are bad for your health and safety will often eat away at the wood in your home. Termites and other pests won't be a problem if you use composite materials.
• No harmful chemicals. Composites don't need to be treated with chemicals to make them waterproof, repel insects, or stop corrosion. So, composite materials are really good for the environment and aren't dangerous.
• No need to paint or stain. Composite decorative panels don't fade as much as other types. You don't have to paint the solid composite deck every few years because of this.
• Long service life. The long life of composite materials is ensured by how well they work. And a longer service life means that you can get more out of it.

How to clean composite deck boards?

Cleansing composite decking is very simple, so we will now describe briefly how to clean your composite wood deck.

Before you begin cleaning your composite deck, you will need the following items.

• A bottle of typical dishwashing detergent
• A nylon broom or brush of moderate rigidity
• A mop
• A pail of hot water

Following the preparation of the above items, we can clean the outdoor deck in four simple steps.

1. Remove all furniture and decorations from the outdoor decking. Make sure you can thoroughly clean the entire composite wood decking. Then sweep the deck with a broom to remove all loose dirt and leaves.
2. After removing the debris from the deck surface, first, rinse the floor with warm water. Then prepare a mixture of warm water and detergent. The consistency is similar to the way you would wash dishes.
3. Scrub the entire decking with a mop and warm, soapy water, using good pressure to get into the grooves and remove stubborn dirt and grime.
4. After carefully scrubbing the composite lumber decking, rinse off any remaining soap and residual dirt with clean water. Allow the outdoor deck surface to dry and move furniture and decorations back into place.

If you don't want to run out of materials for your project, plan for an extra 5% of materials.

Make sure that the joists that hold up your deck are no more than 30 cm apart. This will allow you to use double joists where butt joints are needed.

Use the starting fasteners to accurately install the first composite deck. After that, it is recommended to use matching hidden fasteners for quick and safe installation.

Make sure to leave proper clearance at adjacent composite deck joints to allow for deck expansion.

When trimming to the size of the deck edge, use a straight board to guide the circular saw. This will allow for a more defined edge of the composite trim board.
