Common Uses
TimberTech Tropical Collection is used for residential deck surfaces, pergolas, dock surfaces, and exterior cladding applications. Tropical suits homes where the appearance of premium tropical species like ipe or teak is the design goal. It suits new deck construction and deck replacement projects where a low-maintenance, long-lasting alternative to wood decking is the priority.
Pro Tips
- Use stainless steel or coated composite-compatible screws and hidden fasteners -- standard galvanized fasteners can stain the composite surface.
- Follow the manufacturer's recommended board gap spacing for your climate zone -- composite expands and contracts with temperature changes.
- Clean the deck with a composite deck cleaner at the start and end of each season to remove mould and mildew growth.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does TimberTech Composite compare to PVC decking?
TimberTech Composite combines reclaimed wood fibre with recycled polymer for a natural wood feel underfoot. TimberTech Advanced PVC is a fully plastic product with no wood content. PVC is more resistant to moisture and staining; composite has a warmer, more natural feel. Both carry comprehensive warranties.
Can composite decking be installed in direct ground contact?
No. Composite decking requires airflow beneath the boards and above-grade installation. Install composite over a standard deck frame with a minimum of 12" clearance to grade.
