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 (4)I'm not sure there's anything you can do for this. At least one brand (CorrectDeck CX) offers touchup pens but I don't think Evergrain does. If you could find a matching touchup paint that might be your best bet. Possibly if it's just ground in ash and not burned material, a pressure washer might remove it. Good luck!

Comments (1)No experience with decking in the Pacific Northwest I did a little stained glass in Eugune Or, Anyway there is a reason t=junk is so cheep they are busy paying off the class action and coming up with those cool adds with decks that dont exist.They really need to turn a couple of bucks or go banko. Evergrain/Epoch is a soft composite,at least 10 per cent color fade and will take some care far as cleaning goes like anything outside.We did a couple of projects out of it with no call backs in a few years. I have never used Fiberon. I dont know how much decking your planing on,if your going to go with an upgrade material dont use composite at all go with ipe.

Comments (2)We put in a 5/4 evergain project 6 years agao that was a little like yours with the post sleves/alum balusters,same color and a gate. It looks ok around 30 % color fade,a few mold areas scattered around, the EG skirting is a little wavey and white strecks have come up for some reason. The 12'' on center joist system has kept the decking from saging. The Wallet has done major cleaning over the years it defentley has not been any place near no maiantance but then all the manmade boys have droped that phrase years ago. J....See Morejas01
