5 Common Composite Decking Misconceptions

As composite decking has become more and more popular, some misconceptions may have developed. While some of these inaccuracies may have held true in the past, Envision?composite decking?is unlike any other decking on the market today. Since Envision products are Different by Design, we’re proving these myths don’t apply to our beautiful composite decking collections. Let’s go over some of these past myths and explain why they are no longer accurate.

1. It Looks Unnatural

One of the first misconceptions people hear about composite decking is that it has a cheap, fake or plastic look. With Envision decking, this could not be further from the truth. Our composite decking has a beautiful, natural look with a deep non-repeating grain and color blends inspired by nature, giving each board a striking aesthetic.

2. Composite Decking Is Too Expensive

At the start of an outdoor living project, we’ve seen people think that the price of a composite deck is too expensive and out of the their budget. While traditional wood might have a lower up-front cost compared to composite, the story changes when you look into the long-term investment of both materials.

The costs associated with the maintenance, repair, sealing and staining of wood decking ends up costing more long-term than low-maintenance composite decking by Envision. Our composite decking is known for it’s long-term durability. Plus, our Ridge Premium Collection let’s you create a beautiful outdoor living space that’s budget friendly.

3. There’s No Need for Composite Deck Maintenance

Although composite decking is incredibly low-maintenance — especially when compared to wood decks — it is not maintenance-free. Composite decking still requires some degree of cleaning and upkeep. You’ll need to clean off debris and occasionally scrub any dirt that collects on the surface, but the maintenance is minimal compared to traditional wood.

Because Envision composite decking is low maintenance, customers and clients are able to enjoy time spent relaxing on their deck with family and friends, rather than dreading the time it takes to maintain their traditional wood deck.

4. Installing Composite Decking is Difficult

Often, contractors who are newer to composite decking are apprehensive because they have heard that installing composite decking is a challenge. Envision decking has made installation easier for builders, contractors, and homeowners. With the aid of helpful tools like our hidden fasteners and deck screws, you can painlessly and efficiently install a deck with high-quality workmanship. This saves you both time and money.

5. Composite Decking Colors are Limited

Finally, people may be under the impression that if they choose composite decking, they will not have a very wide selection of colors. The truth is that Envision has a wide variety of composite decking colors that capture the natural beauty of exotic hardwoods, softly blended tones, or solid colors.
