Our rice hull fiber composite is proven to resist water penetration, which means your beautiful deck will not mold, rot, or swell. Our proprietary capping helps keep your family safe from slips and slivers, prevents spilled liquids from leaving a permanent stain, reduces heat retention and minimizes fading from harsh weather.

This graph shows the true quality and durability of a TruNorth deck. When tested against our competitors, we have been proven to maintain up to 5X – 8X more mass when tested against abrasive forces – only having lost 0.0231g of its original weight. Whatever Mother Nature has in store, we are ready for it! We guarantee the best quality decking suited for your unique backyard.

A composite deck is an engineered outdoor building solution that combines recycled fibers with plastic resins to create durable, weather-resistant boards. Unlike traditional lumber, composite deck boards resist rot, splintering, and insect damage while maintaining their lasting beauty for decades with minimal care.

Composite decking was developed as an alternative to pressure-treated lumber and natural hardwood. It eliminates the need for annual staining, sealing, and sanding while providing consistent color and texture across every board.

Composite decking materials vary by manufacturer and product line, but all share a common foundation of recycled content and protective coatings.

Fiber-Composite Decking

The core of most composite deck boards is a blend of recycled fibers and plastic polymers, which contains:

• Recycled fiber content (40–60% by weight) from various natural sources
• Recycled polyethylene or polypropylene (40–60%)
• UV stabilizers and pigments to prevent fading and preserve color
• Bonding agents that fuse fibers and plastic into a solid material

These boards offer a natural wood-like grain and appearance with enhanced durability. TruNorth composite decking uses a proprietary rice husk formula instead of wood fibers, providing superior rot resistance and fire protection while maintaining the authentic wood aesthetic.

Composite decking is available in several configurations to suit different aesthetic preferences and budgets.

Grooved Edge Boards

• Designed for hidden fastener installation systems like TruNorth's Slide & Go clips
• Creates clean, fastener-free surfaces
• Compatible with hidden fastening systems
• Most common choice for a new deck construction

Square Edge Boards

• Installed with visible face screws or plugs
• More affordable than grooved edge options
• Suitable for DIY installations
• Often used for fascia and trim applications

Solid composite boards (like TruNorth Accuspan):

• Denser and more rigid construction
• Better spanning capability between joists
• Premium feel underfoot
• Investment in long-term performance

Hollow composite boards (like TruNorth Enviroboard):

• Lighter weight for easier handling and DIY installation
• More budget-friendly option
• Same quality capping and warranty as solid core options
• Suitable for most residential applications

Low Maintenance

A composite deck requires only periodic cleaning with soap and water. No annual staining, sealing, or painting is needed to maintain appearance and structural integrity.

Durability

Composite boards resist common problems including rot, insect damage, and splintering. Most manufacturers offer 25-year to limited lifetime warranty coverage on material defects and fade resistance.

Eco-Friendly Materials

Composite decking diverts plastic bottles and wood waste from landfills. A typical composite deck contains recycled material equivalent to thousands of plastic bags and shopping bags.

Design Versatility

Composite decking is available in dozens of colors, grain patterns, and finishes. Options range from natural wood tones to contemporary grays and multi-tonal variegated boards that mimic exotic hardwoods. Order samples to compare colors and textures before making your final decision.

Long-Term Value

While composite costs more upfront, the elimination of ongoing upkeep expenses creates cost savings over a deck's 25+ year lifespan. No wood stain, sealer, or replacement boards are needed.

A composite deck is worth the investment for homeowners who prioritize low maintenance, long-term durability, and lasting beauty over 20-30 years. The higher initial cost is offset by eliminated upkeep expenses and extended replacement cycles.

Composite makes the most sense when:

• You plan to stay in your home long-term (7+ years)
• You want to avoid annual staining and sealing
• Your outdoor living space receives heavy foot traffic or sun exposure
• You prefer predictable long-term costs over lower upfront expenses
• You value splinter-free surfaces for children and pets

Traditional wood may be preferable if:

• Your budget is constrained and upfront cost is the primary concern
• You enjoy hands-on projects and the patina of weathered lumber
• You're building a temporary structure or short-term installation
• You prefer the authentic look and feel of natural materials

For most residential applications, composite decking delivers superior value through reduced time spent on upkeep, longer lifespan, and sustained curb appeal. When you compare the 25-30 years of performance composite offers versus the frequent care wooden decks require, the choice becomes clear.

Our composite decking collection features a wide variety of TruNorth composite decking options, including premium capped composite boards in dozens of colors, textures, and finishes. Each product includes manufacturer warranty coverage on fade resistance, stain resistance, and material defects.
