Will composite deck material fade?
May 9, 2011
This varies by material, but in general the answer is yes, composite decking will fade initially. Over the first ninety days of your composite deck’s exposure to the UV rays from the sun, a slight fading process will occur with many brands. This will change the colour of the deck, giving it a more natural “weathered” look. Once the initial weathering process has occurred, composite decking is remarkably resistant to further fading. Low grade composite deck material, however, is susceptible to higher levels of fading over longer periods of time, often turning a greyish or pinkish colour.
