Composite Decking Installation
Modern, durable solution for businesses looking to enhance their outdoor spaces.
At 78 Fence, we proudly offer composite decking installation as part of our commercial services portfolio. Composite decking is a modern, durable solution for businesses looking to enhance their outdoor spaces with a clean, professional, and long-lasting finish. Whether you’re managing an apartment complex, office courtyard, or a restaurant patio, composite decking delivers exceptional performance and curb appeal.
What Is Composite Decking?
Composite decking is an advanced building material made from a blend of wood fibers (or sawdust), recycled plastics, and bonding agents. These components are fused together under high heat and pressure, then molded into decking boards that mimic the look and texture of real wood—without the high maintenance.
The result is a resilient, eco-friendly material that stands up to heavy use and unpredictable weather – ideal for commercial environments.
Types of Composite Decking
There are several types of composite decking available, each suited for specific applications and budgets:
Capped Composite Decking:
- Has a durable polymer shell (cap) wrapped around a composite core.
- Offers superior resistance to staining, fading, and scratching.
- Great for high-traffic commercial spaces.
Uncapped Composite Decking
- More affordable, but without the protective outer shell.
- Still resists rot and insects, but more vulnerable to fading and moisture absorption.
Solid Composite Boards
- Dense, heavy boards with excellent durability and a more traditional wood-like feel.
- Ideal for ground-level or heavy-load applications.
Hollow Composite Boards
- Lighter weight and more affordable.
- Easier to handle and install, but may not be as structurally strong as solid boards.
- Suitable for rooftop decks or lighter-use areas.
Composite Decking vs. Plastic (PVC) Decking
| Feature | Composite Decking | Plastic (PVC) Decking | 
|---|---|---|
| Material | Wood fiber + plastic blend | 100% synthetic plastic | 
| Appearance | Natural wood grain texture | Sleek, uniform appearance | 
| Durability | Very durable, slight expansion possible | Extremely durable, fully moisture-proof | 
| Cost | Mid-range to high | Typically higher | 
| Traction | Good slip resistance | Varies – can be slippery when wet | 
| Heat Retention | Stays cooler underfoot | May get hotter in direct sun | 
| Environmental Impact | Often made from recycled materials | Fully synthetic, some recyclable | 
Bottom line: Composite decking offers a balance of aesthetics, performance, and price—making it a top choice for commercial outdoor installations. PVC decking excels in water resistance and durability but comes at a higher cost and can lack the natural look that many clients prefer.
Advantages of Composite Decking for Commercial Use
- Low Maintenance: No staining, sealing, or sanding—just occasional cleaning.
- Long Lifespan: Most products last 25–30 years with minimal wear.
- Fade & Stain Resistance: Maintains its appearance even in harsh weather.
- Eco-Conscious: Manufactured using recycled content.
- Safe & Splinter-Free: Ideal for public or barefoot areas.
- Wide Design Options: Available in a variety of colors, textures, and finishes to match your brand or setting.
