Composite lumber is a material that is a mixture of wood fiber, plastic (high-density polyethylene (HDPE)) and some type of additive. These ingredients are put together to form a material that is denser, stronger, and heavier than wood alone, a wood-plastic composite.

Due to environmental and durability concerns, composite decking (a mixture of two materials, typically wood pulp and recycled material such as polypropylene or virgin plastic) have appeared on the market. Proponents of composite decking have touted this as a much needed development as this helps to curb logging of trees for new decks.

However composite decking has been found to contain harmful chemicals, cannot be refurbished, and despite claims from decking companies, some composite decking still attracts mold. However newer more modern wood composites feature a cap or shell that prevents mold.

Working with composite lumber is similar to working with wood. However, composite lumber has the added benefit of being less likely to split or delaminate. Some composite lumber is also engineered to be lighter weight for easier handling. Composite lumber is also more stain, scratch, and mold resistant, and is therefore supposed to have a longer life than wood lumber.

Advantages of wood composite decking
Composite lumber comes from the manufacturer as a finished product. There is no need to stain, sand, or paint the material. Composite materials usually cost more than lumber, but their long life and low-maintenance requirements could make them more economical in the long run. Many composites are often made partially out of recycled plastics and waste wood, such as Senrui Wpc Decking, which makes them an environmentally friendly, efficient use of resources

Environmental impact

The growth of wood-alternative products continues to fuel a debate about their environmental value when compared to wood, treated wood, metal and other alternatives. Many suggest that wood decking is made from a more sustainable ingredient and that it carries a smaller manufacturing carbon footprint. Others have claimed that the sawing of wood-alternative products during construction creates dust that will not biodegrade and that the wood-alternative deck boards, when they have outlived their useful lives, will not biodegrade in landfills.
