For those who appreciate the classic beauty of natural materials, wooden decking is a popular option we highly recommend. Our professional installation team works with a variety of high-quality wood types, including durable hardwoods like Ipe and softwoods like Cedar, chosen for their strength and natural elegance. Wooden decking provides a warm, traditional look and can be customized with stains or finishes to perfectly complement your home’s exterior.
Natural Aesthetic Appeal
Wooden decking offers a timeless, natural beauty that many homeowners find appealing. The warmth and texture of real wood can enhance the look of any outdoor space.
Customisable
Wood can be stained, painted, or sealed in a variety of finishes to match your home’s exterior and personal preferences. This allows for greater flexibility in design.
Strong and Durable
High-quality hardwoods, like Ipe or Cedar, are incredibly strong and durable, making them resistant to wear and tear. With proper maintenance, wooden decks can last for decades.
Eco-Friendly
Wood is a renewable resource, and many decking materials are sourced from sustainably managed forests.
Maintenance Requirements
Wooden decking requires regular maintenance, including staining, sealing, and cleaning, to prevent rot and insect damage.
Weathering Susceptibility
Sunlight and moisture exposure can cause wood to warp, crack, or fade over time, necessitating consistent upkeep.
Potential for Splinters
Wood can splinter over time, which may be uncomfortable or unsafe
The initial cost of wooden decking varies widely, depending on the type of wood. Softer woods like Pine are more budget-friendly, while hardwoods like Ipe or Mahogany can be significantly more expensive. While wood may have a lower upfront cost compared to composite, long-term maintenance costs add up, making it a more costly option over time.
Composite decking is an excellent option we recommend for those looking for durability and minimal maintenance. Our installation experts work with high-quality composite materials, crafted from a blend of wood fibers and plastic. This type of decking provides the natural look of wood while offering enhanced resistance to weather, stains, and fading. It’s an ideal choice for busy homeowners who desire the beauty of wood without the upkeep.
Low Maintenance
Composite decking is resistant to rot, insects, and weather, needing only occasional cleaning and no staining or sealing.
Durability
Engineered to resist fading, staining, and mold, composite decking is ideal for low-maintenance, long-lasting outdoor spaces.
Consistent Appearance
Available in a variety of colors and finishes, composite decking offers uniformity without the natural variations in wood.
Eco-Friendly
Many composite materials are made from recycled wood fibers and plastics, reducing environmental impact.
Higher Initial Cost
Composite decking generally has a higher upfront cost than wood, though lower maintenance requirements can make it a cost-effective option in the long run.
Less Natural Appearance
Despite improvements, some homeowners still prefer the warmth and texture of real wood.
Heat Retention
Composite can get hotter in direct sunlight, which may be a consideration in warmer climates.
While composite decking often has a higher initial price tag than wood, the long-term savings from reduced maintenance make it an attractive investment. Over time, the lower upkeep costs and extended lifespan of composite decking can offset the upfront expense, providing better value for homeowners seeking a durable, hassle-free option.
Both wooden and composite decking have their own advantages and disadvantages, so the choice between the two will largely depend on your specific needs, aesthetic preferences, and willingness to commit to maintenance.
