Composite Vs. Capped Composite Decking

For many years, wood was the number one choice for homeowners when building a deck. And for good reason, it’s both cost efficient and easy to work with. However, it does require a lot of maintenance to keep your wood deck in good shape. For this reason, many people are now choosing to build their decks out of wood plastic composite deck materials.

Composite decking (also called wood-plastic composite, or WPC) is an eco-friendly alternative to wood decking. Whether capped or uncapped, WPC is made primarily from wood flour and recycled plastic polymers. The big difference is that capped products have a “cover” that provides added protection against the elements and everyday living. It’s an important distinction to note, because earlier generations of composite decking were uncapped.

In addition to retain the traditional composite decking moisture, rot, insects and termites resistance, but also capped composite decking has many other advantages:

• Better resist to scratch;
• Better resist to UV, better color stability;
• Better resist to moisture and termites;
• Richer color and more variation;
• Extreme durability and reliable: less water-absorption, less rotten, wear proof;
• More durable, more fading and staining resistant, more attractive and more reliable;
• Never need sanding, staining, or refinishing, it is real low maintenance.

Sundi Capped Composite Decking – The new generation of WPC

Capped Composite Decking, which is also called Co-extrusion Decking in China, is the industry’s most advanced products of extrusion molding technology. Sundi capped composite decking has an advanced tough plastic shield encasing all four sides around its inner WPC core. The shield and core are extruded together under a very high temperature mold simultaneously, so there are no adhesives or chemicals that are harmful to the environment.

Sundi capped composite decking, the core is the traditional wood plastic composite materials (along with Sundi G series and H series WPC formula), while the extruded surface is made of multi engineer plastic with an outer shell of plastic that completely encapsulates the board in an impermeable layer of protection from scratches, stain and fading.
