Did you resolve to upgrade your home in 2024? Adding a new deck to an Orange County house extends your living area. Orange County living means spending time outside, whether under the stars or the moon.

If your plans include a new deck, consider composite decking for the build. Composite makes a great alternative to pressure-treated lumber and other common building materials.

What is Composite Decking?

Composite decking material comes from two different materials – wood and plastic. By combining wood and recycled plastic manufacturers like Trex make a decking material that’s better than wood and stronger than plastic.

Trex building material contains up to 95% recycled materials. Recycled wood and plastic provide the building blocks for making Trex. If it goes into Trex it doesn’t go into landfills. Trex keeps almost 400 million pounds of plastic and wood out of landfills each year.   That’s eco-friendly. Even the manufacturing locations are eco-friendly. Locating plants on both coasts reduces the energy used for getting the product to the end consumer. Recycling happens at the factory too. Almost all factory runoff and refuse return to the production process.

Benefits of Composite Material for Your New Deck

Your new deck makes you feel good. Not only do you feel good about how it looks, but you’ll also feel great making an environmentally friendly choice! Composite building material benefits include:

  • Low maintenance. Never sand, stain, or paint your deck. Ever!
  • Long life. The color of the planks resists fading and staining. Composites outlast wood materials.
  • Moisture and scratch-resistant. Your new decks resist scratching and mold.
  • Easy care. Hose it down with a garden hose and be done with the chore.

Composite building material lines include decking planks, fascia, and matching rails for a unified look for your new outdoor space.
