Composite decking is easier to maintain than timber, however there are a few things you need to be aware of to ensure you get maximum lifespan out of your deck. Make sure you do regular checks on your deck for signs of wear and tear and damage such as cracks. 

When cleaning make sure you avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as this could result in scratches or discolouration. The best option is to use cleaning products designed for use on composite materials. Also make sure you sweep and hose down your deck on a regular basis to remove any dirt or debris.

Adding composite decking edge trim will enhance both the look and functionality of any deck. It will not only give your deck a clean, polished finish but also offer protection against damage for the edge of your composite decking. Composite decking edge trim is a narrow strip of material which is generally manufactured out of the identical composite material as your deck boards. 

This trim is fitted to the edges of your deck to hide rough or uneven edges which gives your deck a professional, smooth appearance. If you don’t install proper edging, your composite decking is likely to be more prone to damage, which will shorten its lifespan. Composite decking edge trim also plays an important part in preventing moisture getting into the deck which would result in swelling and damage. 

Investing in composite decking edge trim means you can have peace of mind that your deck will be structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing for many years. So no matter whether you are building a new deck or just updating an old one, get in touch with the team here at Modern Gardens today.
