Best Composite Decking Brands of 2025

The demand for high-quality, low-maintenance wood decking solutions over the last few decades has exploded, and composite decking continues to lead the way, offering homeowners durability, beauty, and sustainability. At Decks & Docks, we proudly carry the industry’s best brands, making it easier than ever to find the perfect composite decking products and materials for your needs.

So, who’s at the top of our list for the best composite decking brands of 2025? Here’s a look at the brands that outpace all the others—all available through Decks & Docks. These brands excel in innovation, performance, and style without compromising quality or sustainability.

Why Choose Composite Decking?

Composite decking offers a host of benefits over traditional wood, including:

• Low Maintenance: No staining, sealing, or painting required.
• Durability: Resistant to decay, mold, and pests.
• Eco-Friendly: Many brands use recycled materials and sustainable practices.
• Aesthetic Appeal: Wide range of colors and finishes to complement any home design.

Composite decking boards are made of artificial and natural materials, though some are fully synthetic. Most composite boards have a core made from plastic and wood, which are then capped with PVC to provide a hearty barrier from water, moisture damage, pests, and anything else nature has to offer. 

Some boards are solid HDPE (high-density polyethylene) all the way through.

Composite tends to be pricier than most natural woods, but for good reasons: composite boards are much sturdier and require less maintenance than natural wood decks (which pose the risk of splinters and mold and often need to be re-stained every few years).

What to Consider When Comparing Decking Materials

Before deciding the type of composite decking to buy, you’ll need to learn about the factors that make each brand worth purchasing.

Value

While composite decking costs more than the alternatives, you’re getting a more durable deck that can withstand the elements, so you’ll invest a bit more for that benefit. Consider the installation process, your deck’s lifespan, style, and everything else important to you. There are also value-adds to composite decking that you can consider, like non-slip surfaces, hidden fasteners, fiberglass reinforcement, capped boards, and scratch resistance.

Ease of Installation

If you’re doing the job yourself, you don’t want to spend all your time cutting pieces to install them. You want things to be as plug-and-play as possible. You should be able to lay most of the material quickly and fasten them with the provided fasteners. If you hire a professional deck builder to do the job, a complex material may require extra expertise and time. This can add to your cost if you don’t have installation included in the price.

Maintenance

You won’t need to stain, seal, or paint your composite deck! In most cases, you only need to occasionally clean the surface with a bit of soap and water to keep it in great shape.

Durability

One of the best things about composite decking is its durability, especially in coastal environments. Excess environmental stress won’t degrade your composite deck as quickly as other materials. However, cheap composite decking will typically only last around 25 years. If you buy a higher-quality product, you can expect a lifespan of 50 years.

Sustainability

Composite decking is one of the most sustainable products available to purchase. Composite decks use recycled wood and materials, so you don’t need to worry about taking wildlife away from the world when you build your deck.

Variety

Composite wood has become more similar to wood over the years. Depending on what you buy, it’s incredibly realistic and mimics wood well. But if you don’t care as much about realism, you can purchase something that doesn’t have the same texture as real wood. You’ll find a lot of colors in neutral tones like gray and brown, but you can also find alternate colors that make more of an impact.
