Composite decking has long been hailed as a durable, low-maintenance alternative to wood. However, not all composite boards are created equal. If you’re noticing cracks in your composite deck, it’s likely an issue stemming from older, first-generation composite products. In this blog post, we’ll explore why this happens and how Green Shield's superior composite boards offer a lasting solution.
Understanding First-Generation Composite Decking
First-generation composite decking boards were revolutionary at their inception, providing an easy-care alternative to traditional wood. However, these early iterations come with inherent issues. The primary problem? Lack of capping.
What is Capping?
Capping refers to the protective layer that surrounds composite boards, safeguarding them against the elements and everyday wear and tear. First-generation composites lacked this crucial feature, resulting in:
CrackingÂ
ChippingÂ
BreakingÂ
Scratching
Mold & Rot
Without capping, these boards are more vulnerable to the elements, leading to the kinds of damage we're discussing today.
