8 Ways to Finish the Composite Decking Ends – Decks By E3
The finish of composite decking is amazing, from imitating natural wood decking to an entirely different look. But the ends. The cut ends of composite decking are less than beautiful, requiring a finishing detail.
There are many ways to finish composite decking ends. Each with its strengths and weaknesses.
Composite decking ends can be finished by picture framing, raised fascia board, painting the ends, attaching decking veneer, composite nosing strips, vinyl stair nosing cove, composite corner trim or plastic end caps. In short composite decking, ends must be hidden or blended into the look of the decking boards.
Lots of ways, but which one is right for your deck? Let me give a short description of each to help you better understand your options to finish a composite deck.
- Picture Frame
The says it all. Install the main decking boards, then finish the ends off with a decking board running perpendicular to the decking. When you are in the yard, look back on the deck, the cut ends are all hidden behind the decking board.
2. Raised composite fascia board
A straightforward way to cover the end of the composite decking boards. Install the decking on the deck, cut flush with the edge joist. Install the composite fascia board flush with the top of the decking
The fascia extending higher than the joist by the thickness of the decking. The decking ends hidden behind the fascia board. With nothing but the beautiful fascia board to see from the yard.
3. Paint the Composite Decking Ends
The problem with composite decking ends is they are a different colour than the decking. The composite is wrapped with its beautiful colour that you love, but the ends are the colour of whatever ground up milk cartons, plastic bags and sawdust are. Which can vary from board to board. The solution, colour match the polymer cap and paint all the ends to match the decking colour. Making the composite decking ends consistent with the deck.
4. Glued on veneer cap
Similar to painting, the decking boards ends but taking it to a whole new level. Attach a thin veneer from the decking unto the cut end. Not only is the decking the same colour as the top of the decking but with the same texture and colour pattern.
Here is a short video of Dr. Decks doing precisely that.
5. Screw end strip to ends
A combination of veneer and picture framing. Rip a composite deck board an inch or so thick and screw to the ends of the composite decking. Giving the decking boards end the nice clean finish of rounded decking edge.
Without all the extra substructure work involved with picture framing the deck or the challenge of attaching veneer to the end of each deck board.
6. Vinyl Stair nosing
An older solution to finishing composite decking ends taken from the interior of the house. The composite decking ends are finished off by attaching vinyl stair nosing to the ends. Finishing the edge of the deck with similar to vinyl stairs inside the house.
Requiring no extra framing, at a fraction of the cost picture framing a composite deck.
7. Composite Corner Trim
A decking edge cover made of the same material as the decking. The look and feel of a stair nosing cap but in a composite.
8. Plastic Board Decking Ends
A finishing option only for decking boards with hollow cylinders in the decking board. The plastic end caps are attached to the end of the deck board with small taps that are tapped into the cylinders with a rubber mallet. Hiding the holes on the ends of the decking boards with a similar colour plastic.
Of these eight options for finishing composite deck ends, picture framing is my favourite. The decking finish I most often finish composite decking with. There are several reasons, appearance, maintenance and life of the deck of why I favour picture framing composite decking.
Let me explain better my criteria in evaluating the best way to finish composite decking ends.

Criteria for Evaluating Composite Decking Ends Finishes
The number one driving factor in finishing the ends of composite decking is appearance. However, you choose to complete the decking; it must look good. If it doesn’t improve the look of the ends. You may as well trim the decking and leave it at that.
Finish the ends needs to elevate the look of the decking and the deck.
The end finishing of the decking boards should not increase maintenance required for the deck. We choose composite decking for its low maintenance.
Finishing the deck boards with a finishing detail that requires regular and extensive maintenance destroys the low maintenance advantage of the composite deck. The level and type of care needed for the end detail must match the decking maintenance.
Decking finishing should complete the deck, not create problems. The finish of the deck boards ends should not develop complications for the life of the deck. In particular, trapping water and grime. The single biggest thing that will shorten the lifespan of a deck is trapped water.
End boards finishes should not trap water on the deck, decking or joists.
That being said, let’s evaluate possible decking finishes using these criteria.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Composite Decking Ends FinishesPICTURE FRAMEAdvantages
Picture framing is excellent in maintaining consistency with the appearance of the deck. With a consistent look on all the sides of the deck having the same look front and sides.
Along with the decking being consistent for the stairs, the treads mimicking the picture frame nosing and end look.
Using the same material, the decking for picture framing maintenance is consistent for the entire deck. The end finish and decking being cleaned in the exact same way.
The deck board resting on top of the end joist adds to the protection of the joist, shielding it from the rain, increasing the life of the deck.
On top of that. The gap between the decking and the picture frame draining water while not trapping gunk. Winning!
This gap also provides room for expansion and contraction of the decking, which is so critical with composite decking.
Not being attached like some other finishing options, there is no conflict between material and movement.
Disadvantages
The most significant disadvantage of picture frame finishing is cost. An additional joist with blocking will need to be added to the edges of the deck. On top of the extra deck board to run perpendicular to the decking to hide the ends.
Picture framing a simple 12′ by 12′ (3.6×3.6m) can add $500 to the cost of the deck once the extra material and labour are accounted for. Often increasing as square composite decking boards without the groove often are only sold in 20′ (6m) lengths, which increases the costs with large offcuts.
The mitre cuts are also problematic with picture framing. As the boards expand and contract during the day and seasons, the mitre joints will open and close. What once was a beautiful mitre joint joints becomes an ugly gap between boards.
RAISED FASCIA BOARDAdvantages
Probablythe easiest way to finish decking ends with no additional costs. Simple trim the decking and install the fascia flush to the top of the decking. All steps and materials that every composite deck requires.
Still being composite decking, it adds no additional maintenance.
Disadvantages
There are two distinct disadvantages of raising the fascia board. First is grime and water, the other the stairs.
With the decking cut flush with end joist and then capped with the fascia board. The potential for water to become trapped between the fascia board and the joist is great. Water is fine. Trapped water rots decks.
Joist membrane can minimize this risk, but it is still a disadvantage of the design.
The stairs are a different issue with inconsistency between treads and the deck. The treads nosing being decking but the deck edge fascia board.
Along with the inconsistency is wear. Decking is designed to be walked on. Fascia is not. Fascia material is thinner and does not have the structural strength to support regular foot traffic. Resulting in the edge of the fascia to wear down prematurely or break off.
PAINTED ENDSAdvantages
Again, a very cost-conscious finishing solution. TimberTech sells matching paint for their decking for under $20. Or you can buy a small “sample” paint from your local building supply store colour matched to the decking colour for as little as five bucks. Either way, the inconsistent colour of the end decking is removed.
The decking ends can still overhang the end joist helping to protect the joist by directing the rain off the deck and away from the joist.
Disadvantages
A traditional look of wood decking but doesn’t always work with composite decking. More and more composite decking is scalloped to reduce cost and weight. Creating ugly decking ends with voids that paint cannot hide.
Even when painted, cut ends look unfinished. The colour may help them blend in, but it’s still a cut end.
Glued on cap veneerAdvantages
Consistency of both the decking edge and ends in colour and texture is the most significant advantage here. Regardless of what angle you look at the deck, it all looks the same.
Disadvantages
Veneer cap is not readily available. Requiring a high level of skill and tools to create your own. The veneer can be cut from offcuts put the additional labour for each piece is high.
I have never done this but watching Dr. Decks do it for a fascia board makes me think it would add hours in construction to finish the decking. Costing more in time then picture framing the deck does in material and labour.
Also, it is only as strong as the connection. If the glue fails, so does the finish. And for this to work, you must use contact glue, which gives you only one shot to get it right.
Perfectly attaching veneer to 30 deck boards with zero errors. I hope you’re a brain surgeon because the same focus and accuracy will be required. And that’s for a small deck.
The thin veneer has no structural strength. You can glue it in front of the scallop holes, covering them over but one poke. It is game over.
Screw end strip to endsThe same edge deck looks as picture framing without the extra joist and block framing. More for the yard view, not on the deck looking down.
More durable then veneer but not as much as a complete deck board as in picture framing.
Advantages
The simplicity of construction is the most significant advantage of screws decking edge to the ends of decking boards.
Without all the extra framing to support the decking as picture framing, reducing the task in half. Additional material required is slashed to only a third of a deck board for each side of the deck. Bringing costs to only slightly over a $100 to finish the composite deck board ends.
Consistency is also maintained at the stairs with the matching nosing appearance at the deck leading to the stairs.
Disadvantages
Composite decking is not a structural material. That is why it requires so much blocking supporting it. Becoming even more apparent with smaller strips of decking.
The strength is only as good as they are fasteners to the ends of the decking.
Requiring either a high number of screws into the decking. Attaching the strips securely to the decking ends.
Or glue them similar as veneer but longer pieces along with screws holding in place.
This won’t matter on a deck with railing.
But at the stairs, it could potentially break off with high foot traffic. As the nosing is the most stepped on part, of a deck.
Vinyl Stair Nosing
They are a few different nosing materials available that can be used on composite decks. Three of the more common are vinyl, aluminum or plastic. Resting on top of the deck and then hanging over the edge covering the cut ends of the deck.
Advantages
Installation of vinyl stair nosing is easy. Roll it out. Trim to size. Fasten with pan head screws or glue down to the decking.
As stair nosing is not the same material or colour of the decking, it can create a border around the deck with colour contrast. Highlighting the edge of the deck. Which is good both aesthetically and for safety. As it minimizes accidental steps off the deck.
The added material on the edge of the decking and treads increases grip, minimizing slipping. A common complaint with some composite decking.
Disadvantages
The different materials may create contrast around the deck, but the change in material can be detrimental. Most composite decking has a life expectancy of 25 years or more. Not stair nosing, often wearing out sooner. Needing to be replaced long before the decking. Increasing maintenance. Not annually but before the decking.
That traction grip around the edge of the deck is also a dam. The small lip trapping water and dirt on the decking. For composite, it won’t increase rot, but it does make it harder to clean the deck as not all the water and dirt will run off the deck.
Composite Corner TrimsSimilar to vinyl stair nosing except the same material as the decking, composite. However, limited availability as few manufactures offer composite corners.
Advantages
One of the most significant advantages of composite corners is it is composite. The same as the decking. Requiring the same maintenance with all the same benefits of composite. Good decking, good trim.
The cost is also very reasonable. Composite trim is less than $40 for a 12’x12′ deck. Costing less than one piece of decking and not requiring all the extra framing details to support it.
Disadvantages
But just like stair nosing, the small lip around the perimeter of the deck will trap water and dirt. Making cleaning the deck harder.
Plastic Decking Boards End CapsOnly available for hollow cylinder composite decking. With small plugs that are tapped into the holes holding the cap into place. Finishing of the decking but covering those unsightly holes on the ends.
Advantages
Does not require additional framing, while still allowing the decking to overhang the framing. Providing a clean look to the deck while leading the water off the substructure.
All while keeping installation simple.
Again, at a reasonable price. Around $60 for a 12’x12′ deck. Hard to compete with that price.
Disadvantages
This is not a one size fits all solution for decking ends. Only available for composite with cylinder cavities to receive the plugs.
The single largest drawback is it does not live up to the promise. There are many complaints that even though it sounds simple to install. Line up to the holes and tap in. It’s not! Frustrating precision is required to tap the ends in equally. Not overdriving one side, binding the plugs.
Then once you get them installed, they break way easier than they should. Requiring the damaged ends to be pulled out and replaced. Often in only a few years’ time. Way too soon for a composite deck.
Conclusion of Finishing Composite Decking Ends
However, you decided to finish your composite board ends. Choose a way that will not increase the maintenance of the deck. That will genuinely hide the unsightly ends.
This includes not complicating cleaning the deck by creating water dams. That traps water and dirt on your deck.
If your deck has stairs, finish in a way that is consistent with the stair nosing.
I think most often, picture framing checks all these boxes. Followed by raised fascia if the budget is tight. Two of the best options for finishing composite decking ends.
If you haven’t yet decided on which composite decking to buy. You should check out my list of the best composite decking brands. Composite decking is great but it is not all created equal. Some brands excel better in certain applications, others have better warranties and others just look better. But you should just click the link to find out.
Finishing with composite panels photo. Prices for ACP
Finishing with composite panels of buildings and interiors, thanks to unique characteristics of the material, especially often used in large-scale projects experiencing a large load of various types of impacts: our harsh climate, high risk of mechanical damage, high traffic movement of people and vehicles.
Composite cladding: airport, subway, supermarket, shopping mall
- Airport Entrance
- Subway
- Supermarket
- Shopping Center
Aluminum composite panels consisting of two metal plates and filler between them are characterized as very durable yet lightweight material. The panels are high resistance to humidity, temperature changes, mechanical stress. They bend well, allowing you to create three-dimensional surfaces and finish columns. Fairly easy to handle. Depending on the composition of the panel filler can have a very high fire resistance coefficient, therefore often used in places where by this time there are increased requirements. An additional bonus to the treasury of the popularity of the material is its widest color palette. Literally any shade of the color spectrum. And also the possibility coating that perfectly mimics natural materials or fantastic shimmering, mirror, metallic and other shades.
The material is really versatile. Restoration finishing of the facade with composite panels of old buildings is not uncommon. Often used pointwise, for example, at entrance groups. Facade cladding with composite panels is also a frequent occurrence in the cladding of small buildings. Advertising structures and even commercial equipment are also made from it.
Finishing with composite panels of private houses, cabins, entrances, balconies, commercial equipment.
- Private residential building
- Change house
- Advertising structure
- Commercial equipment
- Balconies of a multi-storey residential building
The development of the material was started in Germany in the 60s of the XX century, where the panels were first released under the Alucobond brand, which is successfully operating and developing today. Brightly "shooting" Alucobond composite panels forced developers to create analogues in other countries, and the brand name became a household name in everyday life. In our country, alucobond analogues have been produced for about two decades. The most popular brands are: Altec, Goldstar and Bildex. Domestic composite panels of these brands have a well-deserved reputation over the years of use, all the necessary documentation packages and, which makes them more attractive compared to foreign material, more budgetary price.
Finishing buildings with composite panels is used not only in exterior decoration, but also in interiors. Interesting design options are provided not only by panels of various colors, but also by composite panels with UV printing, when absolutely any image can be transferred to the surface and it will retain its original aesthetic qualities for a very long time.

Teak Boat Trim
hosts and their respectability. The material has unique qualities: it heats up little in the sun and provides not only pleasant tactile sensations when walking on it, but also complete safety, because even when wet, the wood remains non-slip. Natural teak is the epitome of luxury and sustainability.
Types of teak
Wild growing Burmese teak.
This type is undoubtedly the best for making teak flooring. Due to the fact that wild trees are cut down at a much older age than teak grown on plantations, the texture and color of such wood becomes more noble, and the content of oils, for which teak is so valued, is much higher here.
Plantation teak
This teak is artificially grown on plantations, sawn at an earlier age, it does not differ much from the place of growth, the main difference that reduces the quality is the lower content of oils in the wood.
Teak cut
Radial cut. In this case, the cutting plane passes through the center of the trunk, across the lines of annual rings, the sawing occurs along the radii of the tree trunk. At the same time, much more material goes into sawdust and trimmings, but the resulting board and rail is of the highest quality. The material of the radial cut is as homogeneous as possible in texture, has a maximum density, and when wet and shrinkage practically does not change its shape and size.
Tangential cut. Not suitable for teak. In this case, the cutting planes are parallel to each other, and pass tangentially to the circles formed by annual rings. The material of the tangential cut has a pronounced texture and pattern of wood fibers. Tangential sawn wood is most susceptible to deformations and changes in linear dimensions as a result of changes in humidity.
The subtypes of tangential sawing also include: Rustic, semi-tangential, semi-radial, mixed and central cuts. Not applicable for teak flooring. As a rule, the material of these types of cuts is obtained by sawing logs with the least amount of waste. Separately, the central cut should be noted, in this case the central part of the trunk is used, the wood here has a minimum density, and the density value changes, the closer to the center, the softer the wood becomes. Accordingly, such a material is very non-uniform in density, and therefore less stable in shape.
Layout options
Rectangular decking layout:
- Premium (all corners are covered with a solid facing)
- Simple classic (corner facings meet at an angle)
Deck covering on radiused elements:
- Twist (lamellas follow the curved shape of the side/edge)
- Premium Weave (lamellas are straight, run parallel to the deck DP, weaving effect is achieved due to complex shape lining and appropriate processing of the ends of the lamellas)
- Sport (slats laid without cover)
Important! In all types of layouts, we select the width of the slats depending on the size and characteristics of the deck. Depending on your wishes, you can make a deck of any thickness.
Adhesive materials and surface preparation
Teakrussia uses only the highest quality materials for its work, such are the materials from the Akzo Nobel concern.
These are International leveling and painting materials and Sikaflex adhesives. We consider the use of other materials to be unreasonable and unacceptable, since the savings in this case will not be so significant, and the quality and durability of the finished deck and deck covering will significantly decrease.
Maintenance of your teak deck
To keep your teak deck in top condition, follow a few simple guidelines:
- Maintain your teak deck regularly. The frequency of deck maintenance depends on the quality of the materials it is made of and how well it has been maintained.
Important! Do not trust the service to random people, due to their inexperience and ignorance of the features of the service, they can harm your deck.
- Rinse and clean your teak deck and decking regularly under running water.
Important! Do not use pressure washers, hard brushes or harsh detergents on your teak deck.
Important! When you wash the deck, the movements of the soft brush, sponge, should be directed Across the fibers of the wood, this is necessary so that the soft fibers of the wood are less washed out.

Synthetic Teak Decking - MyBoatsGear.com
Synthetic Teak Decking is a modern way to get the same aesthetic look and feel of a traditional teak deck, but without the expense and time. Traditional teak decks are expensive in both materials and man-hours. Because of this, teak decks on boats have become a luxury these days. Years ago, teak boat decks were the norm. The teak was laid on the deck frames, and then the gaps between the boards were sealed. Nowadays, teak flooring with composite construction is a symbol of a quality boat, not a form of construction.
Teak boat decks are very expensive both in terms of materials and labor. A quick estimate for a custom sea teak deck is $150-$175 per square foot for the top.
If you like the look of a teak deck, you can take a look at the many alternative artificial teak decks that are on the market. Synthetic faux or fake teak flooring is becoming increasingly common on megayachts, cruise ships, industrial vessels and now homemade owners.
There are 3 main reasons to consider an artificial teak deck alternative when replacing or adding a teak deck. First is the cost, then the availability of teak, and finally if you want to be environmentally friendly. In some parts of the world, there is a shortage or ban on teak imports.
Benefits of synthetic teak decking | |
Ease of installation | Due to the flexibility of 5 mm flexible strips |
Cost of materials | Real teak is expensive |
Labor costs | |
Color retention; | Teak changes color from golden brown to silver in a few months. |
The anti-slip properties of these composite decks are good | Rough wood grain finish is applied by sanding the finished product with 40 grit sandpaper |
Surface temperature ; One of the downsides of composite marine decking is the surface temperature. Alternatives to synthetic teak are plastic, which absorb heat and darker colors more. As a result, temperatures can be slightly warmer than teak, so it can be hot to walk barefoot in very hot temperatures. Choosing a lighter color helps with this.
Installation; Too much adhesive can cause bubbles to form due to outgassing. This product is easy to install, but you still need to know how much and how you use the adhesive.

Marine Deck 2000
Marine Deck 2000
Cork deck is a teak deck replacement for boats. Here is an example of a Marine Deck 2000 on the megayacht Sherakhan. Production boats include Etap 46 using Marine Deck 2000.
Cheaper and easier to install, Marine Deck is made from cork using a more sustainable product that doesn't kill trees because it's formed from bark that grows back. The cork is granulated and mixed with urethane as a binder. A UV inhibitor is also added before the mixture is cured in 20 ton presses.
There are many new products on the market that are replacing the teak deck. Most of them are products similar to synthetic PVC. Teak is a very expensive deck option and these alternatives save material and labor costs. Marine Deck Composite is flexible and easy to cut.
Marine Deck 2000 is available in regular, narrow, edge and large board widths. The boards are 74 inches long. You can cover the cork with a finishing agent, but it is better to leave it bare. The bare surface is better for traction and traction, and also cooler.

Flexiteek
Flexiteek
Flexiteek is a PVC based composite marine decking system remarkably similar to teak. Material properties of Flexiteek (Swedish PVC product)
Flexiteek is the patent holder for PVC synthetic decking. Flexiteek manufactures the NuTeak product as a NuTeak exclusive for North America.
Four Winns and Regal are among the production cruisers using Flexiteek.
Flexiteek is available as continuous length flexible synthetic skin with an integrated black or white sealing strip and slightly larger edge skin. The skin bends due to a slight increase in its temperature during bending. A sunny day is sufficient, and tighter turns are made using hot air.
Boards
are 9.5 meters long with strips of 45 or 60 mm in different widths.
Specification Flexiteek NuTeakNuTeak NuTeak is a synthetic PVC decking material manufactured under license according to the Flexiteek patent, but it has its own properties and individual look. You can call NuTeak the 3rd generation as it solves some of the problems associated with PVC flooring. NuTeak is lighter in color than other PVC materials. PVC synthetic materials darken with age. NuTeak chose to produce the material in a lighter color so that the final product, in its aged state, would be closer to natural teak. The first PVC decking materials were criticized for becoming too dark, the opposite of teak, which gets lighter with age. This thing really looks like a teak. I gave the sample to the boatman, and after his first glance, he was amazed that it was PVC. The image shows how the surface has a roughness that looks like wood, and the surface is slightly fluffy, like a rough wood finish. This image shows 2 samples of double plank material, slightly pushed together and well held. I was told to leave the finish as is. The next change made by NuTeak is the tongue and groove connection. The tongue-and-groove connection is designed to allow easy alignment, making application easier. By taking two samples and sliding them together, the groove and groove connection is very easy and no force is required. Because NuTeak is easy to attach and use, it makes sense to be easy to install. All it takes to cut is a sharp knife and no heavy lumber is required.
