iDekk or Duxxbak and Virginia Decking save you money

Where Virginia Decking Saves You Money and Elevates Your Outdoor Experience!

Staying Comfortable  Underfoot

DuxxBak Composite Decking distinguishes itself by its unique design, featuring a hollow and self-ventilating structure. This innovative construction not only sets it apart from competitors but also provides a notable benefit: it maintains a more comfortable surface temperature, making it much more easier to walk on with bare feet. Unlike many other decking materials that can become incredibly hot in the sun, DuxxBak's self-ventilation allows for efficient heat dissipation, ensuring a more enjoyable experience for anyone strolling or lounging on it without the need to spray it down with water.

Water Repellence Inspired by Nature

DuxxBak Composite Decking is exceptionally effective at repelling and shedding water, much like water simply rolls off a duck's back. This means that it efficiently prevents water from pooling or being absorbed, ensuring that your deck remains not only functional but also durable.  Water is the enemy of decks and porches.  It hastens rot and decay.  The analogy to a duck's back highlights the decking's remarkable ability to maintain its integrity even when exposed to wet conditions, making it a resilient and long-lasting choice for outdoor spaces.

Protecting from Moisture-Related Decay

DuxxBak Composite Decking offers a crucial defense for contemporary deck substructures built with defective pressure-treated (PT) framing (even brand new framing), which may be prone to decay when exposed to moisture. In this context, "defective pressure-treated (PT) framing" refers to framing that may be vulnerable to early decay due  to simply not containing arsenic. DuxxBak Composite Decking acts as a barrier, shielding this defective pressure treated wood from the harmful effects of moisture, thereby preserving and prolonging the integrity of the substructure, ensuring the longevity and safety of your deck.

Nail Pop-Free Safety for Little Bare Feet

DuxxBak Composite Decking ensures a safe and comfortable environment, particularly for little bare feet, by eliminating the risk of encountering nail pops, a common issue on many other decks. Nail pops are protruding nail heads that can pose a hazard by potentially snagging or injuring those who walk on the deck, especially small children who may be more vulnerable. Unlike other decks where these nail pops can become a problem, DuxxBak Composite Decking is designed to remain smooth and free of such hazards, offering peace of mind and safety for everyone, including young children enjoying the deck.

Rot-Free for Life!

DuxxBak Composite Decking boasts an exceptional and enduring resistance to rot and decay. This remarkable durability stems from its composition, as it contains no wood filler or any organic components that could serve as a food source for mold, mildew, algae, or fungus. By excluding these organic elements, DuxxBak Decking eliminates the conditions necessary for decks to rot. This essentially means that the decking will remain free from decay throughout its entire lifespan, offering you a deck that not only lasts but also maintains its appearance and structural integrity without the need for constant maintenance or treatments. In essence, it provides a long-lasting and low-maintenance solution for outdoor spaces.

Fade-Proof Brilliance

DuxxBak Composite Decking excels in maintaining its vibrant color and appearance over time, demonstrating superb fade resistance. This means that when exposed to sunlight, weather, and other environmental factors that commonly cause deck materials to lose their color and vibrancy, DuxxBak Composite Decking remains remarkably resistant to fading. Its exceptional fade resistance ensures that your deck will retain its original aesthetic appeal and vibrant finish for an extended period, reducing the need for frequent maintenance or refinishing to keep it looking as stunning as it did on day one.



Affordable Dual-Function Outdoor Space

DuxxBak Composite Decking offers an extraordinary benefit by providing you with the functionality of a roof for various structures such as a shed, screen porch, sunroom, or room addition, essentially at minimal additional cost. This unique advantage arises from the fact that DuxxBak Composite Decking serves a dual purpose as both a floor and a roof. As a floor, it offers a sturdy and attractive surface for your outdoor space that looks like real, tropical hardwood like mahogany, while simultaneously functioning as a reliable roof that shields the area below from the elements. This dual role means you can enjoy the benefits of an outdoor structure without incurring the extra expense or awkward looks of a separate roof, making it a cost-effective and versatile solution for expanding your living space or enhancing your outdoor environment or even providing virtually invisible outdoor storage.  With siding and a window and no visible roof, folks won't think it is a shed.  They will think your storage is part of the house!  You could even run an HVAC duct into the shed and make it climate controlled.  Who needs public storage?

Affordable Underdeck Waterproofing

DuxxBak Composite Decking offers a cost-effective solution for waterproofing the underside of your deck. For just a small additional investment, you can ensure that the area beneath your deck remains dry and functional. This waterproofing option is in contrast to using products like Trex Rainescape©, which can be significantly more expensive and result in higher overall project costs. DuxxBak Composite Decking is less than half the cost of Trex Rainescape©.  By comparing the prices and evaluating the benefits of each option, you can make an informed decision for your specific needs and budget. DuxxBak Composite Decking's affordability in providing waterproofing for your deck's underside makes it a compelling choice for those looking to maximize functionality while keeping costs in check.. 

iDekk and Duxxbak Composite Decking (formerly GeoDeck) and Virginia Decking Save You Money:

First by using the Virginia Decking service whereby you act as the General Contractor, you save money… an average of 25%.



  • iDekk and Duxxbak save money on maintenance costs. Whatever you would normally spend to pressure wash and seal or paint your deck… kiss that expense and headache goodbye forever.  [See our Cost of Ownership cost comparison chart part way down the page]  And if you want a no-drip, completely dry space BELOW your deck for only the cost of the decking?  Duxxbak is the answer.  See the manufacturer's website.  Water shedding systems for decks like Trex Rainescape© are EXPENSIVE!  With Duxxbak Composite Decking there is no unsightly tangle above your head when standing below your deck and looking up... and more importantly the cost of the decking includes the cost of the no-drip water shedding system.  Extra cost?  Nothing. 


  • When you sell your house, you get a whole lot more than you paid because the composite/vinyl industry is growing at 25% a year. Demand for composite decks is going up. When you sell your house, demand will be higher which drives the price up. But the reverse is also true. We are at the point now that vinyl siding was maybe 45 years ago. Today who buys a home they have to paint anymore? Pretty soon no one will be building decks with pressure treated decking for the same reason. If you build a pressure treated deck now, you will DECREASE the future value of your home because when you go to sell, the buyer will discount the price in their mind by the cost to upgrade the deck to something they don’t have to maintain! Make sense?


  • You can save even more if you use our “We Frame – U Finish” service (but please don’t try this is if you are “carpentry challenged”).
