May 2011 - The Natural Composite Decking

When you look at timber decking that has been stained to preserve it you will see that it is basically the same colour in the rain as when it is dry. It may darken a little or it may have water beads sitting on it but it looks the same as it would when dry.

Kent Composite Decking is a little different. When dry the deck will look like wood and when wet you will find that the planks darken which enhances the colour. When they dry they lighten again. But the interesting thing I have noticed with my Kent Composite Deck is that the planks dry differently each time.

Sometimes one area will take longer to dry that another or an odd plank or two may dry and change colour quicker and so on. The changing colour adds interest to the garden and gives variation to a large deck area.

Kent Composite Cladding for external walls, after an initial weathering, performs in the same way changing the look of a building when it gets wet and then dries.
