Fiberglass Deck Board vs. the Camémat Alternative

If you’re looking for a durable, low-maintenance option for fixing up your deck or terrace, you may have heard about fiberglass deck board. However, this material presents several disadvantages you should be aware of before investing your hard-earned money.

• Fiberglass is a material that easily absorbs heat. On hot days, besides expanding, fiberglass can also be very uncomfortable on bare feet, especially if it’s a dark color.
• During the winter or when it rains, fiberglass deck boards are becoming extremely slippery. And if metallic objects sit on top of them for extended periods, fiberglass can become stained with rust, which is extremely difficult to remove.
• Since this material has a veneer, it’s prone to mold and mildew if water seeps into it.
• If a fiberglass deck board cracks, it can’t be repaired.
• Fiberglass is heavier than alternative synthetic materials. As a result, this material can’t be used on certain types of structures.
• Unfortunately, fiberglass isn’t easy to repair or restore, so damaged fiberglass deck board often ends up in landfills.
