FIBERDECK, specialist in WOOD COMPOSITE TERRACES : fiberon® Tropics™ and Professional.

Composite decking materials are pretty resilient. If it is your desire that your composite deck maintain that 'just installed' look then you will want to establish a periodic cleaning cycle of 1x or 2x per year, depending on your environment and lifestyle. On the other hand, if you decide not to maintain your deck then it will get dirty over time. One of the great things about composites is that they are pretty forgiving. If you skip a few years and then want to revive the deck, it is simple. If you use the right products the results are generally excellent. A solid profile is high-quality product. It is the major characteristic that makes fiberon® decking different from other competitors. It minimizes the surface contact with water and humidity that can occur in hollow profiles. Solid profiles also allow better use of the standard cutting tools of natural wood. fiberon® decking won't splinter, cup, crack or decay from constant exposure to the elements. It is not affected by wood boring insects, resists salty or chlorified swimming pool water and will retain its surface embossing throughout the harshest weather. When compared to other composite or vinyl deck materials, fiberon® decking outperforms them in a combination of strength, beauty and durability. fiberon® boards meet all the requirements of decking installation in humid areas (marinas, etc.). fiberon® composite decking is made with 50% HDPE and 50% wood floor. HDPE provides superior physical and mechanical performance. Maple provides superior workability and dimensional stability. Maple contains less tannin and minimal lignin, reducing extractive bleeding stains. The high percentage of Polyethylene limits the dimensional variations of the wood. It is more expensive than wood, but offers a higher quality material.
