Because of the wooden fibers this decking type has a more natural wood look and feel without all the maintenance! It’s also less likely to warp because of its wooden properties during temperature changes and thanks to its wood grain people are less likely to slip if your deck gets wet.

Plastic Decking Materials

Composites are by far the oldest decking product on the market. Composites came onto the scene in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. Even though composites don’t require staining or painting, they do need to be kept clean in order to keep them looking and functioning their best.

• For a composite board to last, it needs to have a good cap to protect the recycled material in the core of the board from swelling and rotting from moisture that may enter.
• As far as price is concerned, the composite decking we sell is right in the middle of the costs for wood and vinyl.
• PVC has great color fastness and with today’s technology, it can look more like natural wood than composite decking.

Synthetic Or Composite Decking Materials

Since composite decking looks similar to traditional lumber, the wood vs. composite decking comparison comes up fairly often. However, that similarity is just on the surface as composite decking boasts a ton of artificial decking material advantages that make it easier to own. For example, composite decking doesn’t splinter, and it NEVER needs re-painted or re-stained to prevent mold and rot. These maintenance-free advantages make this a popular deck material option.

Cellular decking materials are gaining popularity and now even many of the composite manufactures also produce a cellular board. Cellular’s tend to be lighter and easier to handle, strong and tidy and less likely to scratch or stain.
