Plastic Lumber vs Composite Lumber: What’s The Difference?

Both composite lumber and plastic lumber have significant advantages when used in place of wood, but what is the difference? Is one better than the other? Let’s break it down.

Composite lumber has an inner core that is made from a blend of hard and softwoods. Wood waste is ground down, mixed with resin and other additives, and then coated in plastic. Plastic lumber is made entirely from HDPE.

While composite lumber will almost certainly last longer than traditional wood, it still has disadvantages. The wood fibers in composite lumber can absorb moisture, resulting in mold and mildew. Peeling and splintering are also common problems noted by homeowners.

Plastic wood boards will never absorb moisture and so will never rot. These boards do not crack or splinter. When seeking a board that will provide the greatest return on investment, plastic lumber is the right choice.
