It’s quite surprising to discover that composite decking can last at least 15 years. In fact, most decking such as this has a 15 to 25-year warranty, proving that it will indeed, last a long time.

It’s Very Sustainable

Composite decking comes with the feel and look of wood but it does not have the same impact on the environment that wood has.
