Why Consider Composite Decks Over Pressure Treated Ones

Are you contemplating upgrading your property with a cozy and welcoming outdoor deck, but are confused between composite and pressure-treated decks? Both materials hold their unique qualities and advantages, but today we want to highlight the reasons why composite decks might be your preferred pick. WJ Contracting LLC, your trusted home improvement partner, is here to guide you through the process.

Understanding The Basics: What Is A Composite Deck?

Composite decks are typically made from a blend of plastic and wood particles. This unique composition delivers high durability and a wood-like aesthetic without the demanding maintenance that real wood requires. Without the need for regular sanding, staining, or repairing, composite decks offer a stylish, functional outdoor space that remains beautiful year-round.

The Allure of Pressure-Treated Decks

Before emphasizing the advantages of composite decks, it’s worth understanding the allure of pressure-treated decks. They’re usually made from chemically treated softwood that’s resistant to rot, fungus, and wood-boring bugs. This makes them a cost-effective, sturdy, and popular choice for homeowners.

Why Choose Composite Decks?

While the initial investment may be higher than pressure-treated decks, composite decks offer long-term advantages that can outweigh the initial cost. Here's why:

1.    Unparalleled Durability

Composite decks are designed to resist fading, staining, scratching, and mold, and they won't rot or warp, making them far more durable than a traditionally treated wood deck. They're also less likely to splinter, making it safer for bare feet or pets.

2.    Low-Maintenance Living

Unlike pressure-treated wood, which requires annual care, composite decking demands minimal maintenance. Simply sweep or clean with a mild detergent, and you're done! This extra time can be spent enjoying your outdoor space rather than maintaining it.

3.    Aesthetically Pleasing

Composite decks mimic the look of real wood without the need for constant upkeep. They come in a variety of colors and grains to suit any home's exterior aesthetic.

4.    Value for Money

Though the initial cost of composite decking can be higher than that of its wood counterparts, the long-term cost of maintenance tends to be lower, providing excellent value for money over the deck's lifespan.

5.    Eco-friendly Choice

Composite decking is often made from recycled materials, making it a more environmentally friendly option than cutting down trees for pressure-treated wood.
