What is capped composite decking boards?

Currently, composite decking suppliers favor capped composite decking board materials. This is because they not only resemble wood in appearance. However, they are also extremely sturdy and long-lasting, requiring little upkeep. Capped composite decking consists of conventional composite wood plus a resilient polymer casing. Unlike pressure-treated wood decking, covered composite decking is not susceptible to chipping, cracking, or rotting.

Capped composite decking is resistant to insects and requires no sanding, staining, or refinishing. For everyday use, occasional soapy cleaning is sufficient to restore its like-new appearance. Additionally, composite decking is highly resistant to staining and fading. So that you may preserve its attractive appearance with no effort.

Capped composite decking board characteristics

Since the early days of exposed composite decking, covered composite decking has gone a long way. Today, a protective polymer shell has been put to the composite. This PVC shell provides increased water and mildew resistance for added protection. Additionally, this capping contains UV inhibitors that contribute to its strength and resiliency.

Obviously, capping does not refer to something that is put to composite decking after it has been manufactured. Rather, the cap is attached to the core during the composite deck’s production process.

How is composite decking with a cap made?

Co-extrusion is necessary for the manufacturing of capped composite decking. The co-extrusion method yields a durable composite deck that is both strong and flexible. In the manufacture of composite decking with a cap. Wood and polyethylene polymer are meticulously combined to provide a dense, robust core. The core of wood-plastic composite is then capped with a single, stable polymer cap. The core is then co-extruded with an inorganic surface material to produce an outstanding performance-capped composite deck.

This composite material contains an exclusive blend of non-reactive colors, UV inhibitors, antioxidants, and mildew inhibitors. The combination of these characteristics confers great resistance to sunlight, stains, mold, and germs on the composite decking add-on. It also ensures the compound’s exceptional color and long-lasting durability. When colored pigments are added at specific intervals during the manufacturing process, distinct multitone streaks are produced. We provide composite decking in a variety of colors for this purpose. For instance, redwood composite decking, blue composite decking, and teak composite decking, among others.

Advantages of composite decking with a cap

environmentally responsible and durable

Other characteristics of capped composite decking are environmental friendliness, sustainability, and a high recycled content %. Recycled resources are used to create composite decking. Wood fibers can be extracted from sawmill byproducts. And plastics can be repurposed from plastic garbage produced throughout life. Utilizing these recovered products minimizes additional tree destruction. And simultaneously prevents excessive plastic garbage from contaminating the environment.

Versatility

Four-sided capping increases adaptability in addition to enhancing durability and performance. This outdoor deck is reversible, which offers various advantages over boards that cannot be reversed. For instance, there is reduced sheet cutting and material waste. It can also be embossed on both sides of the deck with various textures, hence expanding design options and aesthetic appeal.

The polished appearance of the top and bottom of capped composite decking makes it perfect for use as a second deck. Additionally, the edges are grooved for concealed fastening. Decks with concealed fasteners have a smooth, fastener-free surface. In addition to enhancing your outdoor deck’s aesthetic appeal.
