What is Composite decking?

Composite decking is a building product, which comprises an estimated equivalent amount of recycled wood fibers and recycled plastic. Products made from composite decking possess unmatched durability and resistance; henceforth, they own a longer lifespan against wood decks.

Composite decking products deliver myriad advantages, such as resistance to insects and molds, low upkeep cost, etc. Further, as new capped composite decking products are fade and offer stain resistance, it becomes much easier and convenient to clean them and they also have high color retention

Segment Analysis

Type

The market is segmented as capped composites and uncapped composites. The composite decking & railing market is primarily governed by the capped composites segment, owing to their characteristics, such as confrontation to breakage, decomposing, development of mold & mildew, and color diminishing. Capped composites also deliver ultra-low maintenance cost and premium aesthetics against natural wood decking & railing products. They are extensively employed in the residential and non-residential applications, owing to their physical properties.

Resin Type

The market is segmented as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, and others. The polyethylene segment accounts for the largest market share of the global composite decking & railing market. Polyethylene resin has elevated strength and sturdiness, which is suitable for residential application, necessitating joist 16 inch on center. The polypropylene segment is estimated to be the fastest- growing resin type during the forecast period. They confront thermal expansion & contraction, enabling them to be suitable in the manufacturing of composite decking & railing in elevated temperature regions.

Application Type

The market is segmented as residential and non-residential sectors. The non-residential application segment is estimated to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period. The characteristics presented by composite decking & railing, such as confrontation to thermal expansion and contraction when uncovered to sunlight, resistance to splinter & rot and likewise, are beneficial in application areas, such as marinas, docks, patios, pool areas, hotels and resorts.
