Frequently asked questions

What Is The Lifespan Of Composite Decking

Composite decking lasts 25 years or more, making it a long-term investment for outdoor spaces. Unlike timber, composite boards are resistant to rot, mold, termites, and UV damage, ensuring they maintain their look and structural integrity for decades.

Warranty Coverage?

We provide a 10-year structural guarantee on all supply and install composite decking projects.

What Is The Warranty Coverage For Steel Pergolas?

Our steel pergolas, carports, and verandahs are backed by a 15-year structural guarantee, ensuring long-term durability and reliability.

Is Composite Decking Cheaper Than Timber?

The initial cost of composite decking is generally higher than traditional timber decking, but it saves money in the long run due to its low maintenance and long lifespan.

Unlike timber, composite decking does not require staining, sealing, or sanding, which can save thousands of dollars over time.

Composite decking lasts 25+ years, whereas timber often needs replacing or major repairs within 10-15 years.

Composite decking is resistant to termites, rot, and weather damage, reducing the risk of costly replacements.

Is Composite Decking Eco-Friendly?

Yes! Composite decking is made from recycled wood fibres and plastic, making it a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional timber.

Can Composite Decking Be Installed Over An Existing Deck?

Yes, but it depends on the condition of the existing deck. A solid, structurally sound base is required to support the composite boards.

What Type Of Steel Do You Use For Pergolas, Carports, & Verandahs?

We use only the highest quality premium Australian BlueScope Steel. Known for its exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to harsh weather conditions. BlueScope Steel is a trusted choice for steel pergolas, carports, and verandahs across Australia, ensuring long-lasting performance.

How Do I Clean And Maintain Composite Decking?

Simply wash with soap and water to remove dirt and debris—no staining, sealing, or sanding required.

Does Composite Decking Overheat?

Composite decking can get warm under direct sunlight, but the temperature difference is not significantly higher than Merbau timber, concrete, or tiles.

We use heat-resistant technology to minimise temperature buildup, making them comfortable to walk on, even in hot climates.

How to Reduce Heat on Composite Decking:

  • Choose lighter colors – Lighter shades reflect heat better than darker ones.
  • Install in shaded areas – Pergolas, umbrellas, or strategic positioning can help.

Is Composite Decking Waterproof?

The composite decking is water-resistant. It won’t absorb moisture like timber, reducing the risk of warping, swelling, or rot.
