Many homeowners struggle with the decision between composite and wood decking. Here’s a simple comparison to help you decide which option might be best for your deck:
Cost:
Wood decking is generally cheaper upfront, while composite decking is more expensive but can save money on long-term maintenance.
Maintenance:
Wood requires regular staining and sealing to maintain its look, while composite decking is mostly maintenance-free.
Durability: Wood can warp, rot or attract pests over time. Composite is highly durable, resisting these common issues.
Appearance:
Wood offers a natural, classic look, but fades and weathers. Composite comes in a variety of colors and maintains its appearance longer.
Environmental impact:
Wood is natural and biodegradable, while composite is often made from recycled materials but not easily recyclable itself.
