As the world of deck building moves towards the innovations of composite lumber, there are a lot of options and a lot of questions. With so many choices for low-maintenance lumber alternatives, you might be asking what makes Lumberock® different? Why should you choose our product over another leading brand? There are a number of reasons.
Composite Lumber
When we say "composite" we are referring to the combination of high-density polyethylene plastic and a mixed mineral compound.

Wood deteriorates, cracks, rots, splinters and is prone to mold and mildew.
