Ā Comparing Wood & Composite Decking
When it comes to construction of a deck, one of the biggest dilemmas homeowners face is whether to choose wood or composite.Ā In the nearly 40 years weāve been in business, weāve witnessed a dramatic shift in the number of homeowners that have chosen to have maintenance-free materials, such as ZuriĀ® installed.
Deck and patio builders find composite decks to be heavier than their wooden counterparts.Ā The process for fastening composite deck boards is more technical than wood designs as well.
In cases where homeowners find the cost of a composite deck floor to be prohibitive, synthetic railings can be utilized instead of wood.Ā Not only is the contrast aesthetically pleasing, but the upkeep of repeatedly staining the railing is avoided altogether.
