General FAQs
What are BuildDeck's composite balustrades made of?
BuildDeck's Composite balustrades are an engineered product made from a blend of recycled wood fibres and plastic polymers. This combination results in a strong, durable, and weather-resistant material that has the natural look and feel of wood but none of its typical weaknesses
What are the main benefits of choosing BuildDeck's Composite over wood or metal?
BuildDeck's Composite balustrades offer several key advantages:
Low Maintenance: They do not require painting, staining, or sealing. Occasional cleaning with soap and water is all that's needed to keep them looking new.
Durability: They are highly resistant to moisture, rot, warping, and insect damage, which are common issues with timber. They also won't rust like metal.
Longevity: Composite balustrades are designed to last for decades, often with a lifespan of 25-30 years or more, significantly longer than most wood railings.
Safety: They are splinter-free and often come with a metal framework underneath, providing superior strength and stability.
Aesthetics: Available in a variety of colours and finishes, they offer the classic look of wood with a clean, consistent finish that won't fade or discolour over time.
Do BuildDeck's composite balustrades fade in the sun?
BuildDeck's high-quality composite balustrades are made with UV-inhibitors to resist fading. While a slight colour change may occur in the first few months after installation, the colour will stabilize and remain consistent for many years, unlike wood which fades or greys without regular maintenance.
How do I clean and maintain my BuildDeck composite balustrades?
Maintaining BuildDeck's Composite Balustrades is very simple. For general cleaning, a soft-bristle brush, warm soapy water, and a hose are all you need. For tougher stains, you can use a pressure washer with a fan attachment, but be sure to keep the pressure below 3100 PSI and the nozzle at least 12 inches away from the surface.
Are BuildDeck's composite balustrades more expensive than wood?
The initial purchase price of BuildDeck's composite balustrades is often higher than that of timber. However, they are a more cost-effective choice in the long run. The high cost of ongoing maintenance for wood—including regular sanding, staining, and replacing warped or rotten parts—is eliminated with composite. Over the lifespan of the product, composite balustrades are a better investment.
Can I install BuildDeck's composite balustrades myself?
Yes, many composite balustrade kits are designed for DIY installation. They often come with all the necessary components, and the installation process is straightforward for anyone with basic DIY skills. However, for larger or more complex projects, it's always recommended to consult a professional or a licensed architect to ensure the design meets all local building regulations and safety standards.
Are BuildDeck's composite balustrades safe?
Yes. Because BuildDeck's composite Balustrades are engineered to be strong, resistant to damage, and splinter-free, composite balustrades provide a safe and secure barrier for raised outdoor areas. Many systems are designed to meet building regulations for both residential and commercial use.
