The rising popularity of Composite Decking over the past decade can be attributed to several key advantages it holds over natural timber decking. Ideal for areas of frequent use such as garden gatherings and relaxation zones, composite decking stands out in terms of durability and performance. Here’s why it’s a top choice:
Longevity: Composite decking boards are built to last, resisting warping, bending, and splintering while maintaining their structural integrity. Their colours also stay vibrant for extended periods.

Looking After Your Decking in Southampton
Maintaining composite decking is straightforward and less demanding compared to traditional wood decking. Here are some essential tips to keep your composite decking in top condition:
Regular Cleaning: To maintain the appearance of your composite decking, regularly sweep away debris such as leaves and dirt. Use a garden hose or pressure washer to rinse off surface dirt and stains. For stubborn stains, clean with a mild detergent and water solution, using a soft-bristled brush.
Preventive Measures: To avoid stains and damage, address spills immediately. Refrain from using abrasive cleaning tools or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or dull the decking’s surface.
Mould and Mildew Prevention: Although composite decking is resistant to mould and mildew, it can still develop in damp or shaded areas. Ensure proper ventilation and drainage around the decking, and trim back any vegetation that blocks sunlight and promotes moisture retention.
Avoid Heat Damage: Composite decking can become hot under direct sunlight, especially darker colours. To reduce heat buildup, consider opting for lighter-coloured decking or use rugs and mats in high-traffic areas.
Regular Inspections: Check your composite decking periodically for signs of damage, such as cracks or loose fasteners. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage and maintain the decking’s structural integrity.
Seasonal Maintenance: Conduct seasonal maintenance by inspecting and tightening fasteners, checking for wear and tear, and applying a protective coating if needed. A UV-resistant sealer can help preserve the decking’s colour and appearance.
Follow Manufacturer Recommendations: Adhere to the manufacturer’s cleaning and maintenance guidelines to ensure the best performance and longevity of your composite decking. Different brands may have specific care instructions, so consult the manufacturer’s recommendations.
By following these maintenance practices, you can keep your composite decking looking pristine and extend its lifespan, ensuring that your outdoor space remains both beautiful and functional.
