WeatherproofDream Decking composite decking is almost maintenance free
While there is no such thing as truly maintenance-free decking, Dream Decking products require very little upkeep. This is because they are made from a blend of wood and plastic, which makes them resistant to moisture and the damaging effects of the weather.
The only maintenance that Dream Decking composite decking requires is a twice-yearly clean with soap, warm water, and a soft brush. This will remove any dirt, debris, or mold that may have accumulated on the surface of the deck. It is also important to remove any material build up that may collect between the boards, as this can lead to moisture build up.
With proper care, Dream Decking composite decking can last for many years with minimal maintenance. So if you are looking for a low-maintenance decking solution, Dream Decking is a great option.
For a Deeper CleanWe believe that the above level of maintenance is enough for most decking environments. However, we understand that all areas are different and some may require a higher level of upkeep.
Our nearly maintenance-free decking boards are perfectly suited for the outdoors. However, we know that without the protection of the indoors, things can get messy. For example, if your decking area is under a tree that sheds leaves, or if it is used to entertain guests who are prone to spilling drinks, you may need to do a deeper clean more often.
Water-based composite cleaning products can offer that deep clean and added level of care that is sometimes required. These products are designed to remove dirt, debris, and stains without damaging the decking.

The high maintenance alternatives to Composite Decking
Our composite boards are virtually maintenance-free, while high-maintenance alternatives, such as timber and PVC decking, require a lot of upkeep.
Composite decking is made from a blend of wood and plastic, which makes it resistant to moisture, rot, and mold. This means that it does not need to be stained, sealed, or painted, which can save you a lot of time and effort.
Timber
Timber decking, on the other hand, requires regular staining and sealing to protect it from the elements. This can be a time-consuming and messy process, and it needs to be done every few years.
PVC
PVC decking is also resistant to moisture and rot, but it can fade and become chalky over time. This means that it may need to be replaced more often than composite decking.
Here is a table summarising the maintenance requirements of different decking materials:
| Material | Maintenance requirements |
|---|---|
| Composite decking | No staining, sealing, or painting required. Can be cleaned with soap and water. |
| Timber decking | Needs to be stained and sealed every few years. |
| PVC decking | Resistant to moisture and rot, but can fade and become chalky over time. May need to be replaced more often than composite decking. |
