When it comes to home improvement, few projects bring as much joy and value as a stunning outdoor deck. However, finding the best composite decking can be challenging with so many options available. In this post, we’ll help you determine the best choice by focusing on what matters most to homeowners—whether that's heat resistance, slip resistance, warp resistance, color options, or the overall appearance of the board.
Key Factors in Choosing Composite Decking
1. Heat Resistance
One of the primary concerns for many homeowners is how hot the decking material can get under the sun. Composite decks made with materials that have lower heat retention can ensure a comfortable walking surface, even on the hottest days. Brands like Green Shield Composite leverage advanced materials to reduce heat retention, making them an excellent choice for sun-drenched areas.
2. Slip Resistance
Safety is paramount, especially in households with children or elderly family members. Composite decking with enhanced slip resistance can prevent accidents and provide peace of mind. Green Shields Composite proprietary capping is designed to keep your family safe from slips, offering a superior level of protection against spills and wet conditions.
3. Warp Resistance
Warping is a common issue with traditional wood decks, but the best composite decking materials are designed to be impervious to water and resistant to warping. Green Shield decking materials, for example, are crafted without any wood or wood fillers, which eliminates the risk of warping, rotting, or breaking down over time.
4. Color Options and Appearance
A beautiful deck should be an extension of your home’s style. The color and texture of the decking boards are significant factors in achieving the desired aesthetic. Green Shield offers a wide variety of color options and a wood grain texture that remains consistent even when the boards are heated and bent, thanks to their dense cell structure.
5. Mold and Mildew Resistance
For those who live in humid or rainy environments, mold and mildew can be a major concern. The best composite decking should be 100% wood-free to prevent mold and mildew growth. At Green Shield, we believe that the best composite decking is one that is entirely wood-free, preventing the accelerated aging associated with wood-based composites.
