Material & Specification Overview
The table below summarizes features relevant to decay and insect resistance. Performance depends on formulation, installation, and site conditions, so please treat it as guidance and confirm against test reports.
| Item | Detail |
| Recommended Structure | Co-extrusion capped composite, with full capping where moisture exposure is high |
| Decay Resistance | Low water absorption and encapsulated fiber, which limits fungal decay |
| Termite Behavior | Not a preferred food source; resistance is high but not absolute, and the frame must be protected |
| Recommended Substructure | Aluminum, composite, or properly treated joists in termite-prone regions |
| Standard Thickness Range | 20mm - 30mm |
| Standard Width Range | 135mm - 200mm |
| Test Documentation | Water absorption and decay-related test data available per profile; termite test data available for selected profiles |
Product Photography
We provide installed photos from humid and tropical regions, close-ups of the sealed cap and board ends, and images of substructure options. We also show end sealing and edge details, because unsealed cut ends are a common entry point for moisture.
A note on cut ends: boards cut on site expose the core, so we recommend sealing cut ends with a suitable product, or using end trim, especially in wet and insect-prone locations.
We can also share suggested spacing for joists, drainage gaps, and ventilation under the deck, since airflow and drainage are central to keeping any deck dry, and a dry deck lasts much longer in humid, insect-prone locations.
We can also recommend accessories that reduce entry points, such as end caps for hollow profiles, sealing products for cut ends, and edge trim that closes the gap between deck and wall, since small openings are where insects usually find their way in.
Minimum Order Quantity & Pricing Structure
Pricing follows the underlying capped composite profile, with fully capped and thicker profiles priced according to specification. MOQ for a first trial order is typically 1 x 20ft container. Because framing matters as much as boards in termite regions, we can quote decking and compatible non-wood framing together.
| Order Volume | Pricing Tier |
| Sample boards | Sample fee + courier, often credited toward the first order |
| 1 x 20ft container | Standard FOB pricing |
| 1 x 40ft HQ container | Discounted per-sqm pricing |
| Developer and distributor volumes | Negotiated pricing with repeat-order scheduling |
Quotations are typically given as FOB Ningbo or Shanghai, with CIF and DDP available once the destination and Incoterm are confirmed. Standard payment terms are 30% deposit by T/T with the balance against the B/L copy. When comparing with treated timber, please include replacement, treatment, and repair cost over the life of the deck, since this is where composite usually gains its advantage in termite regions.
If budget is limited, we can suggest using non-wood framing where termite risk is highest and standard framing in protected areas, but we will be honest about the added risk in doing so.
We can also prepare a lifetime-cost comparison against treated timber for your market, using your local timber prices and typical replacement cycles, so that the higher upfront price of composite can be judged against the real cost of keeping a timber deck.
Please tell us whether you also need framing, end caps, and sealing products in the quotation, so that the price covers the whole system your customer will need and not only the boards, which avoids surprises during installation.
OEM & Customization Options
Customization for insect and decay resistance mainly means choosing the right board and system combination, since the whole deck determines how long it lasts.
- Capping choice - three-sided or four-sided capping, with full capping suggested for very wet or ground-level installations
- Thickness and core - thicker solid or dense hollow profiles for greater durability in demanding sites
- End trim and sealing accessories - end caps and sealing products that protect cut ends and hollow chambers
- Non-wood framing - compatible aluminum or composite joists and brackets to remove wood from the structure
- Color matching - standard and custom colors, with matching accessories
For developers building many homes in termite-prone areas, we can supply a standard specification package that lists boards, framing, fasteners, and sealing details, so that each house is built the same way and the whole system performs as intended. We can also provide simple illustrated guidance for installers who are new to composite systems.
We can also supply illustrated installation sheets that show how to seal cut ends and fit end caps, so that installers who are used to timber know which extra steps matter for composite in wet and insect-prone conditions.
For distributors in termite regions, we can prepare a simple kit containing end caps, sealing product, and an illustrated leaflet, packed with each pallet of boards, so that installers receive the small items that matter most for durability without needing to source them separately. We can also label the kit in your local language if you provide the text, which makes it easier for crews to follow the steps.
Certification & Quality Control
For decay and insect claims, precision is important, so we describe the test data we hold and the limits of what it shows.
| Certification / Test | Availability |
| Water absorption reports | Available per profile (SGS/BV/Intertek) |
| Decay and termite resistance data | Available for selected profiles; scope and method stated in each report |
| REACH / RoHS compliance | Standard formulation compliant |
| Factory quality system | ISO 9001 factory management system |
Our QC process checks cap coverage and adhesion, and board density, since low water absorption is central to decay resistance. We inspect for cap damage and check that cut lengths are sealed when supplied with finished ends. For buyers who need independent confirmation, we can arrange third-party inspection for larger orders.
Laboratory termite tests differ from real field conditions, and we say so clearly. If your market requires a particular test standard, please tell us early, so that we can confirm whether existing data applies.
Batch records let us trace a shipped order to its production run, which is useful if a durability question arises years later and we need to check the material against its original test data. We keep records for a reasonable period after delivery.
If your customer needs proof of decay or termite performance for a tender, please tell us the standard they reference. We will compare it with the reports we hold and say plainly what is covered. Where field experience is more relevant than a laboratory test, we can share installed examples and years in service, though we will be careful not to present a few examples as a guarantee for every site.
Production Capacity & Lead Time
Termite and rot resistant decking is produced on our capped composite lines, and lead time depends on capping choice, thickness, and any accessory items.
| Item | Detail |
| Monthly capacity | Follows our capped composite line capacity |
| Sample lead time | 5-8 working days for existing profiles |
| Standard order lead time | 20-30 days after deposit and specification confirmation |
| Custom profile or accessory lead time | Additional 25-35 days for new tooling |
| Season note | In tropical regions, building often speeds up after the rainy season, so orders should be confirmed early enough to arrive before it begins |
We provide production progress updates and can share photos of finished boards and accessories before packing. If your project includes framing and sealing accessories, please tell us early so that all components are produced and shipped together and no part of the system is missing on site.
For large housing developments built in stages, we can split production and delivery to match construction, and confirm a written shipping calendar once your production slot is booked.
If your project must be finished before a rainy season, please share the date at the start. We will work back from it and tell you the latest order date that allows for production, sea transit, and installation, so that the schedule is realistic.
If your project must be completed before a wet season, we suggest sharing the date at the start, and confirming the framing and accessories at the same time as the boards, since a missing small item can hold up a whole installation. We will confirm a written schedule after the deposit and update you if anything changes.
Logistics & After-Sales Support
Boards travel long distances in hot, humid conditions to termite-prone regions, so we pack them to arrive dry, and we give advice about storage on site.
- Shipping ports - orders typically go out via Ningbo or Shanghai port; FOB, CIF, or DDP quoting available
- Packing - strapped pallets with moisture-resistant wrapping and corner protectors for long humid transit
- Documentation - commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, and relevant test reports provided as standard
- Damage/shortage claims - please photograph any damage at unloading; verified defects are resolved through replacement stock or credit on the next order
- Installation guidance - instructions for ventilated framing, end sealing, gap widths, and keeping boards off wet ground during storage
Please store boards flat, raised off the ground, and covered, and seal cut ends as you work. Careful handling on site has a large effect on how long a deck lasts in these regions, and we can provide a short checklist for your installation crew.
Our team stays reachable by phone or WhatsApp through shipping and unloading, and can help your installer with framing, sealing, and gap questions in the first days on site, when good habits matter most for long-term durability.
Please also tell us how the goods will be unloaded and stored at the site, since wet ground and uncovered storage are the most common causes of avoidable problems. We can suggest simple storage steps, such as raising pallets on bearers and covering them with breathable sheeting, and we can send a one-page checklist for your site manager to follow.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is composite decking completely termite-proof?
A: No product can honestly claim that. Composite is not a preferred food source, so boards are far less likely to be eaten than timber, but termites can still damage a wooden frame or enter through gaps. A complete system, including the frame, gives the best protection.
Q: Will composite rot?
A: Composite resists fungal decay well because water absorption is low and fiber is encapsulated. Cut ends should be sealed, and standing water should be avoided, since damp conditions can still cause surface growth.
Q: What frame should I use in termite regions?
A: Aluminum, composite, or properly treated joists are commonly recommended, since a wooden frame remains the most vulnerable part of the deck.
Q: Do I need to seal cut ends?
A: Yes, it is good practice, particularly in wet and insect-prone areas. Sealing cut ends and using end caps on hollow boards helps prevent moisture and insects from entering.
Q: Can you provide termite test data?
A: Yes, for selected profiles. Reports state the method and scope, and we explain the limits of laboratory tests compared with real field conditions.
Q: Are there warranty terms for insect or decay damage?
A: Our standard warranty covers manufacturing defects, and specific terms depend on the profile and use. We explain what is and is not covered, including the frame, so that expectations are clear.
Q: Can termites damage the hollow chambers of a board?
A: Open chambers can allow insects and moisture to enter, so end caps are recommended, particularly in termite-prone areas. Solid profiles have no open chambers to protect, and we can advise which suits your site.
