Commercial Composite Decking Applications
When you first hear the term “composite decking,” it’s natural for a beautiful outdoor living space to be the first thing that comes to mind. However, did you know that composite decking has a wider variety of applications outside residential homes?
Composite boards are designed to withstand tough environments and conditions. That’s why their commercial applications continue to gain momentum across the country. Whether you’re a business owner or a contractor looking to explore new opportunities, learning about commercial composite decking applications is beneficial.
Restaurants and Composite Decking
There’s no question that the restaurant industry is competitive, which is why many businesses are looking to attract more customers by having an outdoor dining space. Fortunately, composite decking offers some big advantages for restaurants. Since composite decking is more durable than traditional wood, it’s more equipped to handle the usage of these high-traffic areas.
A restaurant will also have the advantage of being able to use their outdoor dining space year-round. Wood decking is much more prone to absorbing moisture, which means businesses will need to spend more time and money on keeping up with deck maintenance. . Composite decking on the other hand, offers a low maintenance space that gives businesses more time to focus on what they do best.
One other reason why composite decking and restaurants are a good match is how it solves a common “zoning” problem. Restaurants usually look for ways to separate outdoor drinkers and diners to create a better experience for each group.
Mixing and matching composite deck colors and/or adding contrasting boards as dividers and pictures framing can create a clear delineation between those sections. Composite decking also pairs nicely with other materials, such as a composite decking dining area with a stone patio bar.
Composite Decking as Cladding
Composite decking in open-joint cladding applications creates deep shadow lines ideal for a high-end, contemporary appeal to give businesses a more distinctive look. Aside from the aesthetic, composite deck boards offer a wide range of benefits when it’s used as cladding.
- Higher Durability: Unlike traditional wood cladding, composite material is more durable and doesn’t require as much maintenance. Crafted using our proprietary Compress Technology™, our EverGrain Core™ physically bonds with the high-density cap to create composite decking that resists warping, mold, mildew, and cupping. That means the façade will hold up and still look great for years after installation
- Environmentally Friendly: Many composite decking manufacturers like Envision use large amounts of recycled materials to make their products. This fact helps building owners and businesses reduce their carbon footprint.
- Design Flexibility: Thanks to its proven durability and array of color options, contractors and builders have room to be more creative when using composite decking as cladding

Unlike other manufacturers, Envision composite decking boards are compression molded, not extruded. This proprietary process uses heat and pressure to physically bond the cap and core together. The result is a composite decking board that’s strong and beautiful.
Whether you’re looking to build an outdoor dining space at a restaurant or installing cladding on the façade of a commercial building, you’ll have peace of mind about the product’s performance.
