What a Decking Project Can be Made Of

Article Category: Gardening

Author Name: Nick Morgan

When you think of decking, what material comes to mind? Are you one of the many who only think of timber? Although timber is a common material, it is not the only one that can be used for decks. In fact, it is just one of the wide range of materials one can use for the project.

Softwood

These days, softwood is one of the most prevalent materials in building timber decks because it is affordable. In addition, it is also very flexible as it can be stained with different colors. Its naturally light color enables the homeowner to choose the tint of his or her choice. This material requires regular maintenance so cracking, splintering, warping, and splitting can be prevented.

Hardwood

Among all the materials for timber decks, hardwood is the most durable and resilient. However, the drawback is it generally costs a lot more than the other kinds of materials. If cash is not a problem and you want to have a timber deck, then perhaps this is your greatest choice. Paying high would pay off because you can definitely enjoy your deck for a very long time. Some hardwoods are even naturally resistant to termites.

Wooden Tiles

These are decking tiles which give you the deck look. They are actually tiles laid over a flat surface like a slab of concrete. These tiles are usually square and are bound together using plastic fasteners. This eliminates the need for nails or glue. If you wish to set-up your deck alone, you can opt for these materials.

Aluminum

Yes, aluminum can be a material for deck building. Metal boards are interlocked together to form a deck. If your house is a product of modern architecture, an aluminum deck may be a nice option. It is also durable and can be kept easily. The drawback is when not properly treated, it may dent.

Plastic

Plastic decking can be great because they are splinter-free and generally require very low maintenance. All the care it needs is an occasional cleaning. However, as it is plastic, it may not really look, feel, or sound like a conventional deck. It also has a complicated system of fastening which enables movements when the temperature changes. However, this kind of fastening style may also allow them to squeak when someone walks on them.

Composite

Decks made of composites are built by using the mix of plastic and waste wood fibers. The plastics have embossed grain so they would look like wood. They make use of composite boards that are made from either wood and polypropylene or wood and polyethylene. These boards are great because they look like woods but do not splinter. In addition, they will neither need painting or staining because of their already wooden look. Because composites are not stiff, it also easy for them to respond to weather changes. The only thing you need to be cautious about is that composite decking requires regular scrubbing to prevent mildew.
