Accessible alternatives to wooden decorations

When you examine Stasidecks ® When it comes to all the benefits that composite decks can offer, wooden decks begin to feel like they are signing up for their second job. Unlike all maintenance required wooden decks, Stasidecks composite decks have excellent durability and aesthetics, and require almost no maintenance. Considering the consistency of materials, long-lasting performance, and low cost options comparable to traditional wood, composite decks have never been so attractive. Let's review why Stasidecks composite materials leave wood in the dust.

Appearance of composite flooring and wood

Stasidecks composite flooring features high-definition wood grain patterns and rich saturated colors, making it look and feel more natural than ever before. The color choices range from deep earth tones to trendy neutral tones, including tropical style wooden boards, whose design is completely different from the striped appearance of hardwood and can even fool nature.

Wooden boards that are not regularly maintained lose their warm and earthy tones, and after years of exposure to harsh environments, they turn dark gray.

You don't have to be satisfied with the typical rectangular deck of Stasidecks either. Stasidecks composite boards are very suitable for special designs such as curves and inlays. Stasidecks offers a variety of railing options and can also be customized for bending. To plan curved railings, please visit our Stasidecks Signature ® Bend the railing page for assistance in designing the deck and ordering materials.

Environmentally friendly decoration

Building houses with wood directly leads to deforestation, destroying the trees that local wildlife relies on for survival. Alternatively, composite flooring provides the appearance and feel of solid wood without affecting the environment.

The entire Stasidecks deck product portfolio is sustainably manufactured with 95% recycled ingredients, including industrial sawdust and plastic film recovered from common items such as mail bags, shopping bags, newspaper covers, and shrink films. In fact, Stasidecks removes over 1 billion pounds of plastic and wood waste from landfills every year, and has never cut down a tree during the production of its products. Stasidecks pioneered environmentally friendly composite flooring in the early 1990s and continuously innovated in performance and aesthetics.

Considering all the undeniable advantages provided by composite decks, the real question is why do people use wood to build decks?
