Does TimberTech Composite Decking Rot?

TimberTech composite decking is an environmentally friendly non-organic material that replaces wood. One of the biggest advantages of TimberTech products is that TimberTech does not rot like wood does.

Wood, even pressure-treated wood, will eventually rot from water, sun, and the temperature changes associated with being outside in the elements. TimberTech is a polymer material that is designed to be a better solution than wood and also better than other competitors.

When wood is used as decking, it has to be finished and refinished year after year. Wood will show signs of weather checking, splitting, and will rot.

TimberTech is made of 80% recycled materials. The interior of a TimberTech board is up to 100% recycled product. It is designed to withstand all the exterior onslaughts like foul weather, rain, and the hot sun. It also has a lifetime limited warranty.

So, aside from resisting rot, TimberTech will last much longer than wood as a decking material. TimberTech does not feel hot to your skin, when it’s in the sun, and it also offers good traction and anti-slip qualities.

When you grow tired of watching your wood deck fall apart as the years go by, it is time to try the TimberTech polymer solution, which will last much longer and look much better than a wood deck. TimberTech does not fade or change colour in the sunshine. And TimberTech comes in several colours and grains to mimic wood. Over time, TimberTech is a much more economic choice than wood.
