Composite deck boards: the advantages

In general, the composite wood used in the construction of patios, decks, terraces, etc. presents numerous advantages. Produced by means of molding or extrusion, the deck boards are made from a combination of PVC resin and plant- or wood-based components. They’re resistant to water and humidity and can withstand the test of time. Composite wood has a number of winning attributes, making it well worth discovering.

Thanks to its various additives and special colourants, wood composite closely resembles natural wood while remaining stable. In other words, it won’t move (thermal deformation), it won’t rot and it won’t change its appearance with minimal maintenance. What’s more, composite boards offer greater resistance to stress than boards made solely from conventional plastics.

Further advantages of the composites at Camémat

The Composite boards we sell at Camémat offers even more advantages. Made from advanced composite materials, they are waterproof beyond reproach. This unique feature sets them apart from wooden planks (treated or stained), which end up absorbing moisture.

The manufacturing process for composite planks is the result of rigorous R&D, which has produced a porosity-free finish. As a result, they are protected from mould and infiltration.

The lack of porosity also makes it very easy to clean the deck boards. To get rid of any dirt or stains, all you have to do is rinse them off with water from time to time. No sanding or painting required!

Another advantage is that some of the colors on offer have no surface film. In the event of a scratch, it is simply removed with a steel brush, without risk to the material.

A solid, durable material

The composite deck boards we sell at Camémat are sturdy, inalterable, non-toxic and hypo-allergenic. They also contribute to a circular economy, as they include recycled by-products in their composition. They not only add value but also reduce costs, as they represent a long-term investment, rather than a recurring expense.
