Low-Maintenance, Long-Lasting Decking Built for Vancouver Island Weather
Upgrade Your Outdoor Living with a Composite Deck
Composite decking is one of the most popular choices for homeowners across Campbell River and the North Island—and for good reason. It offers the natural look of wood without the upkeep, and it’s built to last in even the harshest coastal environments.
At Top Island Deck and Railings, we’ve been building decks for over 25 years. Whether you’re planning a small backyard refresh or a full-scale outdoor living space, we bring professional craftsmanship, local knowledge, and top-tier materials to every composite deck we build.
Why Choose Composite Decking for Your Home?
-
Natural Wood Look, No Splinters
Composite boards mimic the appearance of wood grain, but with none of the cracking, splintering, or warping that comes with real lumber. -
Minimal Maintenance
No staining, sealing, or painting—just rinse with water to keep your deck looking great. -
Long-Term Value
Most composite decking comes with 25–50 year warranties, giving you peace of mind and long-lasting performance. -
Fade & Stain Resistance
Composite decks hold their color and resist spills from BBQs, wine, or weather. -
Eco-Friendly Materials
Many composite brands use recycled plastics and wood fibers, making it a greener option for environmentally conscious homeowners.
Did you know? Composite decks stay cooler underfoot than vinyl or darker wood, making them ideal for barefoot summer days.
FAQs About Composite Decks
Q: How long does a composite deck last?
A: Most composite decks last 25 to 50 years, depending on the brand and how well it’s maintained. That’s a major step up from traditional wood.
Q: Does composite decking get hot in the sun?
A: It can, but many modern composites are designed with cooling technology to reduce heat buildup. We’ll help you choose a lighter color if that’s a concern.
Q: Is composite worth the cost?
A: Yes—while the upfront investment is higher than wood, you’ll save money long-term on maintenance, repairs, and refinishing.
Q: Can I pressure wash a composite deck?
A: You can, but it’s best to use low pressure and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines. Often, a garden hose and soft brush are enough.
