Is composite decking right for you? - Woodland Deck Company of Ohio

Posted: Jan 21, 2011 |

With so many decking manufacturers making claims about their deck product whose is it to make sense of all of it? Read on to gain a deeper understanding. The more you are informed on these deck products the better chance you have of making the right choice for your deck. It will work in your favor to ask your deck builder some of these question to ensure that he has adequate understanding of what decking products he is dealing with.

We could start by finding out how these deck products are different and why your deck builder is recommending a specific product. Are you being offered more than one decking brand? As a deck builder myself I will tell you that these decking manufacturers have a lot of incentives for us just to stay with their brand. Paid vacations, cash back on purchases, preferred treatment on client lead distribution just to name a few.


But the question to ask yourself is, is the deck product right for me? If I can't choose more, why is it that I'm limited to this specific brand? You can a should do your due diligence on decking manufacturers, especially since there are probably close to 100 on the U.S. market alone.

Composite decking: Is the mixture of plastic and wood fiber. Here are four major manufacturers: Trex, Timbertech, Evergrain, Fiberon. These have real wood in them so they tend to look more authentic to real wood decking. They are more prone to mold and mildew but can be washed with appropriate solutions.
PVC decking: These pure PVC decking products are the latest technology. They are lowest in maintenance, well performing, and easy to wash. Some PVC decking manufactures are: Trex, Azek Deck, Timbertech and Fiberon.

Always ask to see the decking installed since the appearance might vary. If choosing a deck builder ask him how many decks he has installed with the particular product and what are the results.

Happy deck building!
