Synthetic materials are a rapidly growing alternative to wood in the deck industry today. The main advantage to alternative deck materials are that they are maintenance-free. LP WeatherBest decking and railing products are made from a composite of virgin plastics and wood so they look just like wood, but don't need to be treated like wood. There's no need to stain, seal, or paint because the color runs completely through the planks. LP WeatherBest decking can be cut, drilled and installed just like wood, but unlike wood, it resists warping, splitting, splintering and termite and mold damage.
