The Future of Outdoor Living: Composite Decks
As a trusted Ottawa composite deck builder we have found that the majority of homeowners seeking a low-maintenance alternative to wood, composite decking is an excellent choice. Jack Built installs premium composite decks that offer the look of real wood without the hassle of annual weekend long stain projects. Composite decks are highly resistant to fading, moisture, and insects, making them perfect for the Ottawa climate. Our team will work with you to choose the right color, texture, and style to match your outdoor space, delivering a deck that’s both beautiful and durable.
Composite decks are installed with hidden fasteners which create a seamless modern look. We also use joist tape on our pressure treated framing which adds to the lifespan of the frame. With the modern methods came steel framing which is a galvanized steel specially made for exterior deck applications. When combining the steel frame with a composite or PVC deck it truly is a lifetime product as there aren’t any product that will rot.
What is Composite Decking?
The word composite refers to a mixture of materials, or more naturally….a composition! In this case we are talking about composite deck materials.
Originally a composite deck board was mostly compromised of wood flour and plastic (PVC). While the majority of decking is still made in the same fashion and also with polypropylene new technologies have emerged.
There are now mineral based composite deck products like Deckorators and Millboard which don’t contain wood fibers. This means that there’s no organic materials to rot and decay. It also performs better in terms of expansion/contraction when the temperature change making it a great composite deck in Ottawa weather.
Owens Corning has pioneered composite deck framing changing the deck industry. In the past it was not possible to use composite as a structural component.
Installing these products is not difficult. However, they do need to be installed correctly to manufacturers specifications...that's where hiring an experienced deck contractor is key! We also install curved composite decks!
Composite Deck Brands we Install
All of the decking brands above are deck materials that we trust. They all have a different feel and some have better properties than others but rest assured either of these selections is a quality choice to last years in our Ottawa climate.

How to Select a Ottawa Composite Deck Product?
Price
Most often price is a deciding factor…it’s no secret composite decks are a big upfront cost. The price of a brand differs and there are different levels in relation to price within those brands.
Warranty
The guarantee from the manufacturer does vary again depending on the level within that brand. They range from 25 years to 50 years. The highest warranties are for the most part from mineral based composites and bamboo based composites.
Slip Resistance
This is something a lot of our clients don’t initially think of. Usually the lower priced products are more slippery while the higher end of the products have slip resistance. Deckorators Voyage and Eva-Last Infinity topping all others.
Color Variation
This is a highly visual preference. The low end of the lines are usually a single color with minor color variation and as you get more expensive the color variation looks more realistic
Embossing
Another highly visual preference. This is the pattern that is pressed into the deck board to create grain. Again the higher the price the more realistic.
Looking for a true lifetime deck?
The standard deck is framed with pressure treated wood which has a lifespan of approximately 15 years. We also frame decks with steel, aluminum and OC Lumber. Those alternative options…ARE FOR LIFE!
