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.

There are a number of benefits associated with the use of composite decking edge trim. Not only will it make your deck more visually appealing, it will also protect your deck from moisture which is vital as that is one of the main causes of damage to composite decking. 

Safeguarding the edges will make your deck more durable, significantly extending its  lifespan. Additionally, edge trim will provide you with a seamless finish, making your decking look much more polished. It will also help maintain the structural integrity of your decking, ensuring you have an aesthetically pleasing and sturdy outdoor space for years to come. 

There are three common varieties of decking edge trim which are:

Flush Edge Trim: By fitting this flush with the edge of your decking you will create a seamless professional look. 

Butt Joint Trim: You use this at the end of a deck board to connect two boards together. 

Overhang Trim: This does exactly what it says on the tin by covering any overhanging edges of a deck board to give it a neat well finished look. The different types of edge trim have particular functions designed to make your decking more visually appealing.  

When selecting the appropriate edge trim for a decking project, you should take into account things like durability, colour compatibility, and ease of installation. The correct edge trim will ensure you end up with a composite deck that has a polished and professional appearance.
