MexyTech vs ModWood
MexyTech vs ModWood: Composite Decking Compared
If you are choosing composite decking in Australia, ModWood is probably the first name you heard, and MexyTech may be the one your supplier suggested. Both are good composite boards, but they come at it differently. Here is an honest side-by-side to help you choose.
The quick version
ModWood is a long-established, well-known value brand. Its Natural Grain range is uncapped, and ModWood XS is its capped range. It is a familiar, trusted name with a long track record in the Australian market.
MexyTech (the Suprotect range Allmat supplies) is a co-extruded capped composite, imported and sold under the MexyTech brand with a manufacturer warranty and a track record on large international projects. The draw is capped quality with local South Australian availability and value.
So the fairest way to compare them is capped-to-capped: ModWood XS against MexyTech Suprotect, since both have the protective shell that decides how a deck ages.
Construction: both offer capped, and capped is what matters
The single biggest factor in how a composite deck holds up is whether the board is capped. A capped (co-extruded) board has a hard polymer shell over the top and sides that shields the core from moisture and UV, so it resists fading and staining far better than an uncapped board.
ModWood offers capped (XS) and uncapped (Natural Grain); MexyTech Suprotect is capped. If you are comparing an uncapped ModWood board against capped MexyTech, you are really comparing two different tiers, so match like with like. For the full rundown, see our capped vs uncapped guide.
Colours, maintenance and warranty
Both brands come in a range of timber-look colours from light to dark, both are low maintenance with no oiling or sanding, and both resist termites and rot. MexyTech Suprotect comes in six colours (Teak, Dark Grey, Antique, Ashwood, Walnut and IPE) and carries a manufacturer warranty. Colour ranges and warranty terms change over time, so confirm the current details for whichever board you shortlist.
Availability and value
This is often where it is decided. A board is only useful if you can get it in your colour when your deck is going down. Allmat carries MexyTech Suprotect in South Australia and can have it ready for collection or delivery, which suits a build on a schedule.

MexyTech vs ModWood FAQs
Yes. Allmat supplies both, so this is an honest comparison rather than a pitch for one over the other. We often recommend MexyTech Suprotect for its value and local availability, but if ModWood suits your project we can supply that too. Tell us your priorities and we will point you to the right board.
Neither is simply better; they suit different priorities. ModWood is a long-established, well-known value brand with an uncapped Natural Grain range and a capped XS range. MexyTech Suprotect is a co-extruded capped board. If you want a capped board with value and local availability, MexyTech is worth a look; ModWood is a familiar option with a long track record. Allmat supplies both, so compare current specs and colours before deciding.
Both. ModWood Natural Grain is uncapped (the wood-plastic mix is exposed at the surface); ModWood XS is the capped version with a protective polymer shell. MexyTech Suprotect is capped.
Both are far lower maintenance than timber, with no oiling or sanding. Capped boards (ModWood XS, MexyTech Suprotect) resist fading and staining better than uncapped boards, so if low upkeep and colour retention matter most, choose a capped board either way.
