Why Your Backyard Deserves Clarity Composite Decking

The Decking Revolution You’ve Been Waiting For

Clarity composite decking isn’t just another home improvement product – it’s what happens when engineers finally listen to frustrated homeowners. Imagine deck boards that laugh in the face of spilled wine, shrug off Midwest winters, and still look Instagram-ready after three years without any TLC. Sounds too good? Let’s break it down.

Built Tough Where It Counts

Our testing team had way too much fun trying to destroy these boards. They baked them in Arizona-level heat, soaked them in saltwater tanks, even tried staining them with everything from barbecue sauce to nail polish. The result? Clarity boards came out looking like they just came off the showroom floor. The secret? A smart mix of recycled plastics and wood fibers that creates a material tougher than your mother-in-law’s meatloaf.

Goodbye, Weekend Chores

Let’s be real – nobody actually enjoys deck maintenance. With traditional wood, you’re looking at annual staining, monthly cleaning, and constant worry about splinters. Switch to composite, and your maintenance routine becomes:
1. Occasional soapy water rinse
2. That’s it

One of our customers in Florida hasn’t touched her deck in four years except with a garden hose. “It still gets compliments from neighbors who think I redid it last month,” she told us.

Eco-Friendly Without the Granola Crunch

We get it – “green” products often come with compromises. But what if being eco-conscious actually gave you better performance? Each 12-foot Clarity board contains about 120 plastic grocery bags diverted from landfills. The best part? Unlike wood decking, you’ll never replace these boards in your lifetime. That’s 30+ years of not cutting down new trees.

Design That Matches Your Mood

Whether you’re going for Hamptons-chic or mountain lodge vibes, Clarity’s got you covered. Our color options range from weathered gray that looks authentically aged (without actually aging) to rich espresso tones that make your patio furniture pop. Pro tip: The multi-tonal boards hide dirt and footprints better than solid colors – perfect for pool areas.

Installation: Easier Than Assembling IKEA Furniture

Contractors love our hidden fastener system that creates a smooth surface without visible screws. For DIY warriors, you’ll need:
– Standard saw (no special blades required)
– Standard deck frame (16″ on center works best)
– Basic tools

Most homeowners report completing their deck in 2-3 weekends. Just avoid installing in direct sunlight – the boards expand slightly when warm.

Answering Your “Yeah, But…” Questions

“Doesn’t composite get hot?”
Our light gray boards stay about as warm as concrete in direct sun. Darker colors can get warmer, but we include thermal-reflective additives that beat traditional composites by up to 15%.

“What about mold?”
The cap layer includes mold inhibitors – crucial for shady areas. Our Seattle test deck under pine trees stayed spotless for three years.

“Can I pressure wash it?”
Yes, but you probably won’t need to. A stiff broom and mild detergent handle most messes.

Where Clarity Really Shines

• Pool decks that survive chlorine splashes
• Beach houses battling salt air
• Rooftop terraces with extreme sun exposure
• Family homes with messy kids/pets

Fun story: A brewery in Colorado uses our decking for their outdoor tasting room. After three winters and countless dropped beer mugs, they still haven’t needed to replace a single board.

Making the Switch: What You Need to Know

If you’re tired of being a slave to your deck, here’s your action plan:
1. Measure your space (add 10% for cuts)
2. Choose your color (order samples – lighting matters!)
3. Prep your existing frame or build new
4. Install using our hidden clips
5. Enjoy your free weekends

Pro tip: Buy all your materials at once – color batches can vary slightly.
