What is Composite Decking?
Composite decking is crafted from a blend of wood fibres and plastic, forming deck boards that combine the beauty of wood with the resilience of plastic. WoodEvo’s Home+ and HomeAdvanced lines exemplify the innovation in capped composite decking, designed to withstand the harsh elements in Australian climates.
Can You Paint Composite Decking?
