Types of Decking
There are a number of types of decking materials and styles to choose from. This vast choice allows you to ensure you are picking a type that will suit your needs aesthetically and practically. Some of the most popular types of decking include:
Composite Decking
Composite decking is quickly becoming the largest timber deck alternative on the market. Composite decking is man-made, made up of mix of wood fibers, and plastics (usually recycled) and a small amount of bonding agents. Composite decking needs far less maintenance than traditional wood decking whilst looking more authentic than plastic alternatives. The plastic content of the material means that the boards become more durable and resistant to rot, damp and insects.
Composite decking boards have minimal water absorption making them slip resistant and can therefore be used around pools and wet areas. The wood for composite decking is generally more expensive than hardwood. Mostly it is due to the amount of work that has to go into creating each board. Composite decking can certainly add a touch of elegance to your garden.
There are currently two types of composite decking – capped and uncapped. Uncapped boards tend to be cheaper. Although the material is resistant and hard wearing, they do not come with the same protection against staining and colour fading.
Softwood Decking
Softwood is the cheapest decking material you’ll find; it has a beautiful natural aesthetic and is most commonly cut from trees that grow very quickly, which produces wood that is ‘softer’ because its structure is less dense than a hardwood.
Although softwood decking is cheaper it still achieves a great look and can still last an incredibly long time when treated properly (up to 40 years in some cases). About 80% of the world’s timber is softwood and the most common softwoods used for decking are usually either redwood or larch.
Hardwood Decking
Hardwood decking comes from slower growing trees such as Oak, ash or beech. Hardwood decking can be quite an expensive decking option but they usually last longer than softwood and require much less maintenance. Timber decking is a very popular choice for hardwood decking. Timber decking is often chosen for its natural beauty and good looks. Exposing the grain can have a dramatic and aesthetically pleasing effect making your timber decking stand out from the crowd. Not all hardwoods are naturally durable for use outdoors, but some are and these can be found as hardwood decking.
