Does a Composite Deck Fade? Here’s What You Need to Know

Feb 15, 2025

If you’re considering installing a composite deck, one of the common questions that come up is whether it will fade over time. The good news is that composite decks, like those from TimberTech, are designed to resist fading and staining much better than traditional wood decking. However, it’s important to understand the factors that can affect the longevity of your deck’s appearance, as well as the warranties offered to protect you against such issues.

TimberTech offers a variety of fade and stain warranties depending on the product you choose. For example, TimberTech offers composite decking with a 30-year fade and stain warranty. If you’re looking for something even more durable, TimberTech’s PVC decking comes with a 50-year fade and stain warranty. These warranties reflect the company’s confidence in their products, ensuring that your deck will maintain its color and quality for years to come. It’s important to note that TimberTech’s warranties cover several products, including decking, railing, lighting, and more.

However, there are a few things that aren’t covered under the warranty. These include damage caused by natural disasters (like hurricanes), environmental factors (such as mold or mildew), staining from foreign substances (such as dirt or oil), and normal weathering. TimberTech also doesn’t cover damage caused by improper handling, storage, abuse, or neglect. If you do experience a defect, TimberTech will either replace the defective products or refund part of the purchase price.

In addition to TimberTech’s warranties, Outback Deck, Inc., the company installing your deck, offers a labor warranty. This covers defects in workmanship, such as installation errors, and begins on the date of your final payment. However, it’s important to keep in mind that regular maintenance is required to keep your deck in good condition. For composite decks, this includes keeping it clean and free from debris. By understanding the terms of your product and labor warranties and following maintenance guidelines, you can enjoy your new composite deck for many years to come.

“We just had Outback do our complete deck teardown and rebuild (adding a covered patio), and we are extremely satisfied with how it turned out! The attention to the details and oversight of the construction teams took extra burden off of us. I can't thank Outback Deck enough for driving the project to completion so smoothly.”

“Outback was great to work with. They were transparent and kept us well-informed from the first sales meeting to completion of the project. The deck and patio they constructed are beautiful. The materials and work are high quality, and well in excess of any building codes. With the composite decking and aluminum railing, we can look forward to many years of enjoyment with little to no maintenance.”

“Absolutely wonderful company to work with!!! The beautiful covered deck they made for us is just stunning. They use the finest craftsmen to complete their projects and their work is good value for the money. I recommend this company fully and enthusiastically.”

Janet H.

“The footings and bracing of the deck support are what impressed us most. BP did an excellent proposal, JR provide excellent follow through and CM kept the project on task. After watching the construction of our new deck, step by step, we could see the extra measures Outback Deck puts in their workmanship. If we ever have an earthquake, we will run to the deck for the safe place.”
