No idea. My parents deck is only entering the second summer. The materials are supposedly more resistant to warping than earlier variants though (albeit I don't know how much of a concern warping was in the earlier variants in the first place). At the very least, no warping concerns at all so far.
Fading again, unsure. Supposed to be more resistant, but no idea what that actually means from a practical perspective. I'll say that dust on the deck makes it look significantly more aged than anything UV related so far. Worst case scenario, the fading helps a little bit with the heat on hotter summer days. Rotating the patio furniture on occasion and/or removing everything from the deck to even out the fading might be something worth doing every few years, but I can't imagine it being much worse or different than a traditional wood deck with stuff sitting on top of it? Plus I think there's some option to restore it in the same way you can restore stadium seats. Again, not really worried. It's an issue for later.
