Redwood Decking
Redwood decking
are natural defender against insects and rot. Sun fades untreated
redwood to a silver gray. To prevent the wood from fading the
decking needs to be stained and sealed, or just sealed with a sun
blocking finish. This durable decking should last up to twenty years
if it is well cared for.
Mahogany and
Ipé Decking
Mahogany and Ipé are
expensive hardwoods that have a strong resistance to insects and
rot. Untreated these dark brown and amber to dark brown woods will
also weather to gray. Sealing the wood is recommended to preserve
its color and natural beauty. These hardwoods are more difficult to
install as pre-drilling is required. These woods are graded
according to their strength and appearance.
Composite
Decking
Composite decking is
comprised of plastic and wood fibers. Polyethylene plastic and wood
fiber deck boards are made up of half wood fibers, like sawdust, and
half recycled polyethylene plastic. Polypropylene plastic and wood
fiber decking is composed of small particles of wood, almost like a
flour and hard plastic. This decking is low decking and slip
resistant. Decks with composite decking can even be installed in a
rounded or curved pattern, which adds many design possibilities to a
deck. Composite deck boards are generally pressed with a pattern or
a wood grain and come in a wide range of shades and colors.
There are a great
number of manufactures of composite decking that have a number of
lines to choose from. These manufactures have made advances in their
technology to minimize fading and molding.
