The only thing I've been involved with is a product called Nexwood. I used it for the deck flooring and railings close to ten years ago and the surface texture still looks close to new. As I understand it's a combination of plastic and cellulose. Looks a little like wood and has a slightly rough texture. When you cut it it doesn't chip and shatter like plastic. You need to support it underneath well, like 12" on center because unlike wood it has no grain so it will sag easier than wood. Nexwood has cleaning instructions for stuff like wine because it will stain like wood from spills and it will fade like wood. Sweeping it off is a little harder because of the slightly rough surface.
My deck has a full roof over it so it doesn't see sunlight after about 10:00 in the morning and it doesn't appear to have faded much compared to some spare pieces I have stored away in the shed. The color I got is kind of light brown to match the western type styling of the front of my house. I liked the stuff from day one because it doesn't look like plastic and after almost ten years I still like it. As a disclaimer, there are other products out there that are just as good or better than Nexwood. It just depends what your tastes are. Jim
