Composite decking that's eco-friendly!

Composite building materials were first seen on the market in the 90's.   Composite usually means a combination of wood and plastic materials combined with a binding agent.   Composite building materials aren't typically considered eco-friendly because they are often made with raw wood and plastics and sometimes toxic glues.  Over the last twenty years the use of composite building materials has continued to increase because of the cost and the material's ability to survive in the outdoor elements.   Composite decking has been especially growing in popularity and now it's become  eco-friendly with products like BamDeck® Composite and GreenClaimed® Infinity™.

BamDeck® Composite is made from 60% reclaimed bamboo fibers and 40% recycled HDPE plastics and its three times stronger than most composites.   BamDeck is low-maintenance and available in a number of styles and colors.  GreenClaimed® Infinity™ is manufacured in the U.S. and it's made from 100% post consumer recycled materials which includes a 50/50 mixture of reclaimed oak and maple hardwoods from the furniture industry combined with recycled HDPE plastics such as milk jugs and detergent bottles.   Both products are easy to install with a hidden fastening system and come with a 25 year warranty.    If you are considering composite decking for your outdoor deck please check out an eco-friendly product like BamDeck® Composite or GreenClaimed® Infinity™
