Composite Decking and local data in Kent
Composite's main tradeoff is surface heat, and in Kent sees about 4 days a year at 90°F or above. Color can be chosen mostly on looks, though full-sun decks still run cooler in lighter tones.
About 97 wet days and 38 freeze-thaw days a year make moisture-resistant capped boards a practical advantage over unsealed wood.
With 59% detached homes, many projects in Kent re-deck an existing frame, so joist spacing must be checked against the board's span rating first.
