Why PG Homeowners Are Switching to Composite Decking (And You Should Too)
Let’s be real – maintaining a wood deck in Prince George’s climate feels like a part-time job. Between the rainy springs, humid summers, and freeze-thaw cycles, traditional wood just can’t keep up. But what if I told you there’s a better way to enjoy your outdoor space without the constant staining, splintering, and warping? As PG’s leading composite decking supplier, we’ve seen firsthand how modern materials are changing the game for local homeowners.
The PG-Proof Decking Solution
Our composite boards aren’t your grandma’s decking material. Designed specifically for our unique climate challenges, they handle temperature swings from -40°C winters to 35°C summers without batting an eye. Unlike traditional wood that warps faster than a hockey stick in August humidity, our capped polymer surfaces stay smooth and stable year-round.
Meet the All-Stars: EcoShield® & UrbanGrain™
Our two flagship collections cater to different PG lifestyles:
| Feature | EcoShield® | UrbanGrain™ |
|---|---|---|
| Best For | Family homes | Modern designs |
| Surface Texture | Low-grip safety | Artisan wood replication |
| Color Options | 6 weather-resistant tones | 12 premium finishes |
Fun fact: The UrbanGrain™ collection’s embossing is so realistic, neighbors often mistake it for genuine ipe wood – until they notice it never needs oiling!
More Than Just Pretty Boards
What really makes our composite decking stand out in PG? Let’s break it down:
- Slip Resistance: Micro-textured surfaces prevent those embarrassing (and dangerous) post-rain slips
- Mold Resistance: Built-in antimicrobial protection – because nobody wants a science experiment growing on their deck
- 25-Year Fade Warranty: UV protection that actually works (we’ve tested it against PG’s famously harsh sunlight)
“After three PG winters, our composite deck looks exactly like installation day. The best part? I reclaimed about 20 hours a year previously spent on deck maintenance!”
Your Deck, Your Rules
We get it – cookie-cutter solutions don’t cut it for PG’s diverse architecture. That’s why we offer:

Understanding the Numbers
