Each composite decking brand offers a variety of colours and patterns in various widths and lengths. Composite decking is smooth to the touch, barefoot-friendly and provides excellent traction. Most composite decking products cut and handle like wood, but for best results, be sure to check the installation guide. Composite decking is commonly installed on a pressure-treated wood substructure.
Composite deck boards are made mainly of either wood flour, (a recycled post-industrial material), PVC, polyethylene, crushed minerals or a polypropylene blend.
Mineral based composite (MBC) is a mix of polypropylene and a proprietary blend of minerals, including calcium carbonate. It is up to 35% lighter than a wood composite, with virtually no water absorption or thermal expansion and contraction. It provides the industry’s best strength to weight ratio.
At The Home Depot, you will find decking from trusted brands like Deckorators, TimberTech, Veranda and Trex. Get inspired and discover our selection of colours for each brand.
Colour selection may vary by store.

While composite deck boards may be a larger investment up front versus wood decking, it is a versatile, ultra-low maintenance and durable decking option. It will not splinter, rot or warp and requires no staining or painting.
While the cost of the actual composite decking is higher than wood initially, its high durability, ultra-low maintenance and low-risk qualities make it a more economical choice in the long run.
It is recommended that all required decking material is purchased at once because manufacturing runs can produce slightly different colours.
Composite decking is flexible. When moving boards, lift from two balanced midpoints. Store on a flat surface, and cover if stored outdoors for an extended period of time before installation.
While composite is tough and durable, it is not intended for use as a load bearing post, joist or other primary load bearing part of a structure.
You can cut composite decking products using the same tools you use to cut pressure-treated wood. Always refer the installation guide for recommendations.
Composite decking products can be cut, drilled and fastened using conventional tools. For your safety, remember to wear safety glasses and protective clothing.
You only need to clean your deck periodically. A soapy mop and a garden hose work well. A low-pressure power washer can also be used.
Colour tone shift depends on exposure to sunlight and other environmental factors. Veranda, Deckorators, Duralife and Trex composite decking comes with a 25-Year Fade and Stain Warranty.
