Composite decking materails are now the new standard for
backyard deck projects. With a wealth of colors and unmatched
durability and beauty, today's composites far outshine regular
pressure treated wood, and the early composite products.

projects, Azek is industry leader and proven product, offering
many colors and wood tones . Azek capped polymer resists
fading and staining, mold, mildew, and scratches, excellent
durability and very good home investment.

Composite decking is now considered the
"norm" or benchmark in outdoor decks. having undergone
many interactions, and constant improvements to appearance,
performance, longevity, fading resistance etc ,today's composite
and synthetic materials are far superior to early mad made
decking products. sadly to achieve best appearance and quality,
today's composites are mostly virgin plastics and less recycled.
But with many great colors, grains and wood pattern modeling
decks have never looked better. vinyl or PVC products for
decking rails and fascia have become the for front runners in
the composite decking market with Azek being
one of the strongest contenders. We endorse and prefer to work
with Azek for decking and fascia, and
manufacture our own white solid vinyl rails system from solid
core HDPE outdoor plastic lumber (we are confident this rail
system is best and most versatile in the industry).

 Trex
accents:
Wood grain pattern on one side, board is
squarer and stiffer, they now claim it will span 16".( we still keep it
to 12") Their warranty has been increased to 25 year. Cleaning and
staining: they now have a convenient web page devoted to help you
maintain your deck.

. Trex, like most composites will scratch fairly easily and there is no
way to sand these scratches out, surface graining helps to hide these
scratches. The wood fibers will fade with sun exposure and give mildew
and mold some foothold (please keep your composite deck clean) .
Like other composites the plastic in Trex will absorb quite a bit of
heat under direct sunlight and may be uncomfortable to naked feet.
Accents is available in 4 solid colors designed to look natural as they
age and fade. Overall, a widely available well received solid composite
decking that will never give you a splinter. We feel there are better
buys, but are happy to build you a Trex accents deck. we are a Trex deck
contractor

Trex also make a composite decking products in every segment,
including a cap stock compoiste and pvc cellular.We see no
adanatge to any of their offerings over Azek. |
 Evergrain:
Tamko
Evergrain is a very high end quality composite decking. Unlike
other extruded composites Evergain is produced using a
compression molding process which give it a very convincing deep
wood like grain, far superior to others combed graining. Evergain is a very stiff square quality composite board. capable
of 16" joist spans but we still stick to 12", has less shrinkage
and requires smaller spacing due to less water absorption then
other composites. We feel it is a bit tougher then Trex and the
much deeper grain is likely to hide scratches better .The
factory offers a 25 year warranty. It is maybe slightly more
expensive then Trex but we feel the better choice, and our
composite recommendation. Most of our composite decks have been
built using Epoch Evergrain. Evergrain is available currently in
4 colors to match any house.We have been building evergrain
composite decks fro several years and have been very pleased
with the product. We are your Evergrain composite
deck company.
