Composite Decking: Performance Without the Maintenance

Composite Decking in Florida

Composite decking is a broad category covering wood-plastic composite (WPC) and capped composite products from manufacturers including Trex, TimberTech, and others. The common thread is reduced maintenance compared to natural wood — no staining, sealing, or painting required. But not all composite products perform equally in Florida's climate. Capped composite — with a protective polymer shell on all four sides — resists moisture, staining, and fading significantly better than uncapped products. For pool decks and coastal applications, capped PVC (no wood fiber at all) is the appropriate specification.

Deckmasters installs composite decking across the full range of residential and commercial applications. The material selection — Trex, TimberTech, or another manufacturer — depends on the specific application, budget, and performance requirements. The mile-long Trex commercial boardwalk and the Hard Rock Guitar Hotel TimberTech installation are among the documented large-scale composite projects in the portfolio.
