Composite Porch MaterialsThe Perfect Material for Architectural AuthenticityComposite porch materials give you the option of using lighter weight yet very durable porch columns, balustrades (porch railings), and other porch components. From load bearing columns to porch railings and decorative exterior trim, composite materials may last for generations.Composites have the advantage of being of lighter weight and yet are load bearing, meaning they can support the weight of the structure for which they are designed. They definitely add an air of sophistication to many homes.
