but how else can these be used

is there a structural composite lumber for floor and ceiling joists


is there a lot of dust or is it akin to cutting plastic

does this stuff require special blades

Several years ago I was faced with replacing the board on the outside of
my sliding doors. I looked around and decided on a 1 X 6 composite
board, that already was "painted" white.

I used my standard wood blade and bits. It was as easy to work as
standard lumber, and was easy to trim the edge with a router. However
if you are doing a lot I understand that dulls the blades and bits
faster that standard wood.

8 years later when we sold the house it still looked as good as it did
when I installed it, and there was no evidence of degradation. I doubt
that buyer even realized it was composite.
