In short, plastic wood flooring is a synthetic material of plastic and wood.This material has the advantages of both wood and plastic.That is with the natural wood texture of wood and plastic waterproof wear-resistant.Plastic wood materials are currently very popular outdoor landscape materials, which can be used as outdoor courtyard floor, swimming pool floor, riverside viewing platform, etc.

Currently, Co-extrusion decking (capped composite decking) boards materials are popular among composite decking suppliers. This is because they not only have a look that mimics wood. But are also very durable and long-lasting, requiring little maintenance. Capped composite decking consists of traditional composite wood and a durable polymer protective shell. Unlike pressure-treated wood decking, covered composite decking will not chip, crack or rot.Coextrusion composite decking will not fall victim to pests and does not require sanding, staining, or refinishing. For everyday use, all you need is an occasional soapy wash to make it look as good as new. In addition, decking composite is very resistant to staining and fading. So you can maintain its beautiful appearance with minimal maintenance.

Advantages of capped composite decking.Environmentally friendly and sustainable
Two other hallmarks of capped composite decking are environmental friendliness, sustainability, and a high percentage of recycled content. Composite decking is made from recycled materials. Wood fibers can be used from lumber mill waste. And plastics can be used from plastic waste generated in the course of life. Using these recycled materials prevents further deforestation. And at the same time prevents excessive plastic waste from polluting the environment.
In addition to enhanced durability and performance, four-sided capping means more versatility. This outdoor deck is reversible, which offers several advantages over non-reversible boards. For example, it has less sheet cutting and less material waste. It can also be embossed with different textures on both sides of the deck, thus increasing design options and visual appeal. 

Capped composite decking also has a polished appearance on the top and bottom, making them ideal for use as a second deck. In addition, they feature grooved edges for concealed fasteners. Concealed fasteners provide a smooth, fastener-free surface for your deck. And giving your outdoor deck a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
