While composite decking requires significantly less maintenance than timber, following these simple guidelines will help maintain its appearance and performance in Gold Coast conditions:
• Regular cleaning with soap and water to remove surface debris
• Prompt attention to spills, particularly from sunscreen or grease from barbecues
• Occasional pressure washing (low pressure) to remove built-up dirt
• Using appropriate furniture protectors to prevent surface scratching
• Seasonal checks for any loose fasteners or boards
Frequently Asked Questions About Composite Decking on the Gold Coast
What is a good price for composite decking in Southeast Queensland?
A good price for quality composite decking on the Gold Coast falls between $200-$280 per square meter for materials. I generally advise my Gold Coast clients to be cautious of anything priced below $180/m², as these products may not stand up to our unique climate challenges. Remember that investing a bit more initially often means better performance through our harsh summers and tropical downpours.
How much does composite decking cost installed on the Gold Coast?
For a complete installation on the Gold Coast, including materials and professional labor, you can expect to pay between $320-$480 per square meter. This price includes proper substructure construction, which is particularly important in our region where ground movement from clay soils and seasonal flooding can be issues. Some Gold Coast properties, especially those on slopes or canal fronts, may require additional groundwork, potentially increasing costs.
How to save money on composite decking for Gold Coast properties?
For budget-conscious Gold Coast homeowners, I recommend considering these cost-saving strategies: First, optimize your deck design – a well-planned 24m² deck often provides better usability than a poorly designed 36m² space. Second, consider mid-range composite products that still offer UV protection but fewer cosmetic features. Third, tackle some prep work yourself if you’re handy – clearing the site and removing old structures can save $500-$1,000. Fourth, consider installation during our industry’s quieter period (typically February-April after the holiday rush) when some installers offer off-peak rates. Finally, some manufacturers offer slightly discounted “first-generation” boards that perform well in Gold Coast conditions but lack the enhanced aesthetics of newer lines.
How much longer does composite decking last than timber on the Gold Coast?
In Gold Coast conditions, quality composite decking typically lasts 25-30 years, compared to 8-15 years for well-maintained hardwood and just 5-10 years for treated pine. Our combination of intense UV radiation, high humidity, and termite pressure is particularly harsh on timber products.
