Wood Decking or Composite Decking ?
That’s the million dollar question we get all the time from clients.
There’s not a simple answer to the question unless you like natural wood so much more
than synthetic look-a-likes or you hate the maintenance of wood so much that you’ll do anything to avoid it then you already know your answer.
The following are pros and cons of composite decking and natural wood decking:
Pros:
It is, looks, and feels natural and beautiful
Blends well with greenery
Cons:
Needs Maintenance
Color will age even with maintenance
Most woods are more expensive than composite materials
Can stain from spills
Pros:
Will look new for a long time
Clean easily and will not stain
Needs no professional maintenance
Most synthetic products are less costly than most woods
Cons:
It does not have a natural look
Will get hotter in the sun than wood
In general, we like to advise our clients to take the balanced medium to use synthetic materials for the floors because floor boards get the most use, wear and tear. For the walls, we like to keep it natural and happy with something more lively such as cedar, Ipe, or teak. By that, we’re creating a good mix of maintenance-free floors and the woody aesthetic one would want in their outdoor space. Wood and composite decking, Patio, Pergola.
