composite deck / bleach mold cleaning recommendations negligent
Comments (10)Yo Ken, if your still around your up on this one. Far as Composites go I am with the Larry/whoever We are for the most part. Composites are really no longer using recycled material because there is just not enough of it so most of the raw stuff is virgin,the energy used to make composite is an enviro no no, when its time to remove the project composite is not real big on bio degrade its tricky to burn shreading it would be silly. Bottom line composites are not so enviro freindly. Info like that might suggest its not all that good to clean it either, with anything. I dont agree>> composites will out last Ipe, left to go silver/gray Ipe is as close to no maintance as a person can get. With the softer composites like Choice/MoistureShield even trex= tjunk I have found a coat or two of TWP 116 seals up the decking,locks in the color and keeps mold,mildew,stains from causing major problems. Of course not needing to do this is the reason the Wallet goes for composite in the first place. I my own self dont like composites at all for the reasons stated in several posts here and on other sites. Welcome aboard Larry!!! Sorry I dident understand your intent at the begining .

Comments (3)Thank you for your interest in Trex! When installing Trex Select deck boards we recommend installing the deck boards with the grain pattern running in the same directions on all boards. If the grain pattern is alternated when the light reflects off the pattern it can make the deck boards appear to be a different color. If you have any additional questions or we can be of any additional assistance please reach out to us at 1-800-BUY-TREX.

Comments (8)Thank you all for your input! Friends in Manhattan Beach have Ipe decks, they ARE beautiful. Thisisnotadrill: Yes, Ipe's fire-rating did rank it highest on my comp sheet. But, looks like we'll go with cedar and redwood though, as it its easier to drill and cut. I've learned the advantages to composite material, but neither of us care for the look of it . My apologies to all, I should have been more clear in my rough description. The "deck" is more of a runway or breezeway, along the east side of the house: it transitions from the height of a pair of french doors down to a garden path. This path leads to the patio (furniture/bbq-land), and below that is the horse property. We're replacing an old redwood deck, installed 63 yrs ago, poorly laid out, which ran along east property line. If we ever get done, I'll try to post photos. Thanks again everyone....See Morepressurepros
