Composite decking has become increasingly popular with homeowners and contractors over the past several years. Some of the benefits of this type of building material are lower maintenance and increased durability\/longevity over traditional wood decking.<\/p>\n
However, one of the biggest challenges in this industry has been the look of the material. When introduced, composite decking had a very “plastic” feel about it compared to traditional wood. With experience and technology, companies who produce these materials have replicated a look that better emulates natural wood, offering variants from the base-colors of grey, brown, and red.\u00a0 After establishing an acceptable look for the product, it is essential to maintain it throughout production, with the consistent color of the product being a key aspect of quality control. Producers of these high-quality products want board 0 to look the same as for board 100, with consumers expecting that all of the decking material be of the same color and appearance. Consistency is of paramount importance in this industry.<\/p>\n
