At The Vinyl Outlet, we like to say, "our most knowledgeable customer is our best customer". So let us, the vinyl experts, help you understand cellular PVC vinyl and how it's the only product for your home.
When it comes to Decking, traditionally, over the years, they have been made of wood. However, after extensive time and costly maintenance year after year, only to end up with a decomposing, unstable deck that had to be replaced in the end, homeowners began to seek other decking options.
The next alternative in decking to eliminate the costly sanding and staining was composite decking. Composite decking came around in the 1990's which is made up of wood and plastic fillers. While composite was intended to be longer longer-lasting and friendlier alternative to wood, it soon became evident the many shortcomings that presented themselves in composite decking. After a short time, composite decking, still made up of wood products that can hold in moisture, starts to mold, mildew, crumble, split, fade, and decompose. What is worse is that composite is more costly than wood, with only a 5-15-year life span. Composite decking cannot be refinished or recycled, leaving the homeowner with rotting heavy material and an investment in a landfill. The Vinyl Outlet is constantly replacing composite decking with our customers always repeating the same thing, "Well, that was an investment wasted".
Capped Composite with mold and mildew
After decades of testing products, finally, a long-lasting solution for superior, virtually maintenance-free decking is cellular PVC vinyl. Cellular PVC vinyl decking is made up of 100% vinyl plastic - NO WOOD PRODUCTS!
