Composite Decking and Railing

With the development of composite decking materials homeowners can enjoy the benefits of a fully functional wooden deck without putting in the maintenance a wooden deck requires. Also known as wood-plastic composites, composite decking is made from recycled wood and plastic. It is an environmentally friendly option that is growing in popularity. The maintenance required by many types of wood decking, such as annual staining or painting, and insect damage prevention, is not required with composite decking.

Beacon Roofing Supply offers a large selection of composite decking and railing options to fit any project size and budget.

Installing a new deck can be a large investment for a homeowner. To become comfortable with the purchase of a composite decking system, a homeowner should research their local composite decking options. With manufacturer brochures the homeowner can compare the specifications of different composite decking systems by looking at their strength, expansion, water absorption, durability, and density.
