ences that exist befween these seemingly<br />

similar products, choosing the<br />

composite that best suits your needs<br />

may seem like an overwhelming ask.<br />

The best advice I can offer is to apply<br />

know you can get, you're ready to<br />

start comparing product lines to your<br />

design. The first thing you'll want<br />

to consider is the completeness of<br />

the available composite lines. Ifyour<br />

also want to compare the warranties<br />

offered on the various products.<br />

Longer is better, obviously. But if<br />

you foresee selling your home, a warranty<br />

Design First - The first step is you might want to eliminate the selling point.<br />

to design your deckjust the way you products that don't offer composite Mix and Match - As you apply<br />

want it, without regard to whether<br />

or not there are composites available<br />

to do everything you hope to.<br />

color, colorfastness, or texture within<br />

a given product line, then you can<br />

probably eliminate them from the<br />

willing to compromise. For instance,<br />

ifyou must have the authentic wood<br />

look offered by EverGrain, but want<br />

a fancier railing than they offer, are<br />

you willing to use a wood rail? Or<br />

accommodate composites. some products allow painting, and perhaps you can partner EverGrain<br />
