Factors to Consider When Choosing Outdoor Decking Material

①Cost

For obvious reasons, price is the single most important factor before choosing decking material. Prices vary from area to area and depend on availability; it has been commonly observed that treated wood is the most inexpensive option out there. There are many sources of naturally durable wood available. Some of the more important versions may end up costing more.

Many firms are still unfamiliar with composite wood, and as a result, might end up charging higher to install them on your deck. But once the installation of a composite deck is over, you no longer have to worry about maintenance (see Maintenance below).

②Availability

Composite, Timber and Hardwood Decking is widely available. At Senrui & Avid, we have the most popular size and color available to choose from.Composite wood is available in a wide variety of shapes and dimensions. It isn’t common for people to choose naturally occurring wood for decking,composite wood is better choose. If you do want to order it, make sure to specify the dimensions and species before ordering.

③Maintenance

One of the most important factors before choosing decking material has to be maintained. To be fair, there are no materials that can remain completely maintenance free for their lifecycle.

The difference comes down to the extent of maintenance required for the products and your own dedication to your deck. Studies have shown that many homeowners remove their decks after only a few years because they start looking bad. But aesthetics are relatively subjective and depend on the person.

Composite timber is popular because it can stay maintenance free for longer periods of time. It doesn’t require refinishing once every two or three years, but it is common for composite materials to fade after exposure to the sun. A little cleaning can go a long way in making it look shiny again.

④Health and Toxicity

Some people wonder if it is safe for children to crawl on treated wood. Years of use in residential decking has never shown any evidence of danger to children and adults.

Formaldehyde free is one of the characteristics of our wood plastic composite decking boards.

Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) is a combination of natural materials such as wood flour or rice husks and polymer shaped into decking lumber. . Other terms used to describe WPC material include composite timber.It is relatively easy to shape plastic decking into a variety of shapes, sizes, colours, and different textures.

It goes without saying that composites are naturally impervious to rot and insects. They have the added advantage of being maintenance-free throughout their lives. Simply install them and forget about all concerns.
