Composite FAQs

Q:  How does the product fade over time?
A:  Brite puts raw materials in its product to make it fade resistant.  The colour fade that does occur is barely noticeable to the human eye.  We have provided a chart in our literature to show you what it looks like over 1, 3 and 5 years. Click Here to view chart.

Q:  Does the product scratch easily?
A:  Brite has enhanced their product to be more scratch resistant.  However, if a scratch ever does occur, because our products texture is made with a wire brush, you can use the wire brush you would use on a BBQ to scratch it out.

Q:  Does the product get hot on your feet?
A:  The wire brushed finish and the fact that 50% of our product is wood make our product much less hot to the touch than other plastic products.

Q:  How much more than wood does your product cost?
A:  It depends on where you buy it, but typically 2 - 2.5 times more than pressure treated wood and about 33% more expensive than cedar.  However, depending on how you value your time, the payback over the life of your deck will be anywhere from 4-8 years.
