The weather in Bulgaria, and not only that, can sometimes be unpredictable, as when summer often reaches 30+ degrees, and winter, on the other hand, is extremely cold and humid. These constant temperature changes, as well as improper care of your flooring would lead to spending hundreds of levs each year, trying to maintain your decking, by processing and repainting.
However, there comes a time when, if the wood is completely damaged and cannot be repaired, you have no choice but to make a complete replacement. In terms of weather-resistant flooring, composite flooring is certainly the best solution for all weather conditions for a long-term solution for outdoor flooring.
Traditional wood flooring is not designed to withstand these two extremes, combined with some rain in the long run. The reason for this is that when a tree absorbs water, it swells and warps, and when it freezes, it can crack. Therefore, during the sun season, the tree may fade or fade due to direct sunlight.
What is composite decking?
Composite flooring, also known as composite wood flooring (decking), is made of wood fibers wrapped in plastic. With the progress observed in the production department, companies are now able to produce elegant composites that mimic the natural look of wood. The composites are made in such a way that they can withstand the vagaries of time.
Composite decking is becoming the fastest growing alternative for wood flooring in Europe, and recently quite popular in Bulgaria. It provides a very easy to maintain and environmentally friendly alternative to the traditional wood system. It is also durable and comes in a gorgeous garden design.
Composite flooring against wood flooring
According to many people, composite flooring is a better option in many respects compared to its counterpart, traditional wood flooring. Some composite decking gives you up to 20 years of guaranteed quality and service.
Support
As mentioned, traditional wood flooring is expensive to repair and maintain. If you want to prolong the life of natural wood, you need to regularly treat the wood and paint it to prevent moisture that makes it rot. Composites, on the other hand, are easy to manage and maintain, as all they need is just washing or sweeping to keep them looking good.
Insect damage
Termites and other wood-destroying insects are known to be a common problem when it comes to your wood flooring. Composite flooring, unlike wood, is not susceptible to damage by wood-eating insects.
Sun protection
Some of the produced panels are resistant to UV rays, which prevents their colors from fading or fading from the sun. When making composite decking, wood flour and resin are mixed with color pigments. The composite flooring becomes UV resistant after placing the polymer cover.
Resistant to cracking of flooring
Wooden boards absorb water, which means that they are also prone to freezing, causing frost damage. The composite decking is made in such a way that it does not absorb any water. High-quality composite flooring is made to offer a texture close to that of real wood, providing excellent adhesion in all weather conditions. Unlike wooden boards, composites do not require sealing when winter comes to prevent them from breaking and cracking.
Composite flooring does not rot
The porous nature of the wood makes it susceptible to rot and splitting of flooring, especially when exposed to water. The composite decking is produced in a standardized way and is covered with a protective layer of polymer sleeve, which creates uniform panels resistant to moisture.
It is common to see green algae growing on traditional wood flooring, which makes it unpleasant. At no time will you experience one if you have composite decking and it will look good for almost 20 years.
Advantages of deck boards for all weather conditions
Composite decking is a flooring material in all weather conditions, which provides a number of advantages, such as budget, maintenance, availability and much more.
