Composite decking has become a staple in the decking industry, boasting longevity that surpasses traditional wood. Yet, a pressing concern among environmentalists looms large: organic fillers. These synthetic additives pose risks of debris absorption and internal rot, leaving a larger environmental footprint than claimed. But how can you safeguard against this hidden environmental enemy? Enter the #LumberockAdvantage, where durability intersects with genuine sustainability.
Exposing the Truth about Fillers
While composite decking is known for its long lifespan, hidden internal modules can prevent it from being the most successful long-term option. Tiny organic particles such as wood fibers, cotton, hemp, and even bananas can pose a risk of breaking down what is known as “composite” decking. Certain organic fillers may absorb moisture, contributing to problems like mold, mildew, or rotting if not properly sealed or treated. Wood fillers, specifically, absorb water, fostering decay and eventual rot, which breaks down the integrity of the board. These fillers can also attract harmful marine borers and insects, posing a risk to the surrounding environment. Organic filler can also prevent composite decking from being recyclable, leading to future waste and mounting plastic garbage.
