HOW DO YOU REPAIR COMPOSITE DECKING IN KANSAS?

March 23, 2022 by Carter Leave a Comment

Composite decking is a type of synthetic decking known for its long durability.
It is typically made from a combination of wood fibers and plastics. However,
you may come across composites that are entirely made of plastic or that have a
wood core wrapped in plastic.



As a result, composite deck repair in Kansas can be difficult, and the
professional you hire will need to do some preliminary research before tackling
the problem. If you have a problem with your composite decking, the professional
may contact the manufacturer. The company can provide recommendations based on
the type of composite decking.


SCRATCHED DECK REPAIR

Composite materials, like wood decks, are susceptible to scratches and dings
from moving outdoor furniture. Manufacturers and product types have different
solutions. Some experts advise against working scratches and abrasions because
they will eventually blend in with the rest of the decking. Other manufacturers
claim that using a soldering iron on some of their products makes the flaw
disappear. Knowing the product and the company that made it helps determine
which scratched deck repair process to use.

This information is presented by our team for deck repair Overland Park KS. Get
in touch if you require deck repair services.


USING FILLER FOR DECK REPAIR BOARD DAMAGE

Suppose the boards on your composite deck have chips or small cracks, depending
on the materials and manufacturer of your deck’s boards. In that case, you may
complete deck repair with fillers, which could be made up of wax or be
epoxy-based.


REPAIRING MORE SERIOUS DAMAGE

Damage to the plank, such as deep abrasions, broken boards, or deep scratches,
may necessitate its replacement. The fasteners should be located and loosened to
change the entire plank. Even if you’re not satisfied with repairing minor
damages on your deck, replacement is always an option.


DIRT, GRIME, AND STAINS

Cleaning composite decking regularly (about once a year) keeps it looking new.
While most deck washes are safe for both wood and composites, check the label on
the container to ensure the product is safe for composites. A suitable degreaser
can remove heavy grime. Cleaning methods differ depending on the manufacturer
and product line.


TAKING CARE OF DISCOLORED PLANKS

When composite planks are exposed to sunlight, they lose their luster and
discolor. For composites, sanding is not an option. The plastic burns and melts
with heavy friction and the discoloration problem may worsen rather than
improve. Avoid paints because they do not adhere well to composite materials. On
the other hand, stains will recolor a composite deck, though the color may
differ from the one depicted on the can. Always test a stain sample in a hidden
area of the deck before spending time and money staining the entire deck.


HOW DO YOU FILL SCREW HOLES IN COMPOSITE DECKING?

Composite can be damaged on occasion. Calling the experts on time to handle deck
repairs properly will help you keep the beauty and functionality of your home.
Below are steps to fill screw holes in composite decking in Kansas.

 * The expert will scrub any stain with a scrub brush and the manufacturer’s
   recommended cleaning solution. Each brand requires a specific cleaner for
   composite decking, and stains should be removed with a scrubber and followed
   with a thorough rinse. Composite boards should dry completely before any
   additional deck repairs in Kansas are done.
 * The expert will tighten any loose decking screws or nails developed over
   time.
 * The expert should fill small holes with fillers like a mix of fine composite
   board shavings and silicone caulk. The mixture should be thick enough to
   prevent it from seeping out of the bottom of the hole. Caulk should be the
   same color as the deck boards.
 * Any board that has been severely damaged or has holes larger than 1/2-inch in
   diameter should be removed and replaced.


WHY IS MY COMPOSITE DECKING LIFTING?

Because composite decking contains wood fibers, they can warp and start lifting
if exposed to water, but this isn’t the primary cause in most cases. It is more
common in composites that aren’t capped. Thermal expansion is the primary cause
of warping in most composites. When the composites’ plastic fibers are heated,
they expand. Unless there is an issue with the decking board spacing, it will
revert to its original size. As a result, when installing decking, enough space
should be between the boards for the boards to breathe.


CAN YOU CAULK COMPOSITE DECKING?

Yes, caulking is one of the methods for repairing a deck that has become too
wide. It can, however, be more difficult than other methods. Many contractors
agree that caulking, particularly around decking gaps, is a poor display of
craftsmanship. Making it look good is the most difficult part. Other options
include using fiber ropes or removing all of the boards entirely and
reinstalling them.


CAN YOU USE WOOD FILLER ON COMPOSITE DECKING?

Of course, a wood filler product can be used to repair damage to your deck,
whether it is pitted with small nail holes or has deeper areas of rot. Like
epoxy fillers or joint compounds, wood fillers come in containers and toughen
when mixed or exposed to air.

When you have punctured boards either by nails, screws, or general wear and
tear, a composite wood filler should be able to repair the deck damage fairly
easily. Filling in the deck’s marks and holes rather than replacing the boards
can be a more cost-effective way to improve your living space.


WHY IS MY COMPOSITE DECKING BOWING?

Like other decking types, composite decking can absorb heat when exposed to the
sun. Composite decking becomes hot and flexible as a result of this. When it
gets hot and flexible, it expands. The expansion doesn’t make it warp and start
bowing or lifting; this is more to the fault of improper installations.

When wood-plastic decking expands and comes into contact with a fixed surface,
it can warp. Especially when it comes into contact with a wall, if the board
touches the wall, the boards will be too close together, and the composite
boards won’t last much longer. The composite decking may bow as a result of
this.

In addition, the tightness may cause the decking to shift from its original
position. Repairing the composite boards will entail removing them from the
joist as they have shifted from their original position.

Above are the possible damages that can affect your composite decking and how to
complete deck repair in Kansas according to HomeGuide recommendation.
