How long does composite decking last?
Good quality composite decking typically lasts 20-30 years with very little maintenance, well beyond the practical lifespan of most timber decks.
Service
Composite decking installation in Glasgow and Greater Glasgow. Low-maintenance boards, tidy finishing and free quotes from Glasgow Decking Group.
Glasgow Decking Group installs composite decking for gardens, patios and commercial spaces across Greater Glasgow. Composite boards are made from a mix of recycled wood fibre and plastic, giving a consistent colour and grain without the splitting, warping or annual staining that timber needs.
If you are planning a new deck and want to avoid ongoing maintenance, composite is usually the better long-term choice over timber. It is also worth considering if a previous timber deck rotted, warped or became slippery within a few years — composite boards are far more resistant to all three.
Glasgow Decking Group fits a range of composite board colours and profiles, from light grey and sandstone tones to darker woodgrain finishes, along with matching edge trims, fascia boards and composite or glass balustrades. Boards can be laid over a new timber or steel subframe, and old timber decking or paving can be removed first if needed.
