Nowadays lots of Decking material in the market , but how to choose? let us introduce to you

The choice of flooring is another major factor when estimating a new deck’s cost. There are different types to choose from, but keep in mind that some materials are more durable and will require less maintenance, and this will help offset the cost in the long run.

Here’s a breakdown of the cost of different decking materials:

•PVC:This is an all-plastic decking material which is quite durable. Its price averages between $35 and $45 per square feet. However, it fades over time and may need regular maintenance.

•Natural hardwood:The average cost of a hardwood deck is about $35 per square feet. There are different types of hardwood to choose from including Bamboo, Cedar, African Tigerwood, Brazilian Ipe, and Californian. However, hardwood is susceptible to rot, water, and termite damage and requires very high maintenance. It’s a very expensive choice in the long run.

•Pressure-treated wood:If you are looking for a basic budget deck, then this is the way to go. It only costs about $20 per square feet. Unlike hardwood, it is resistant to rot and insects, but it’ll still fade and crack over time. It also contains harmful chemicals, hence, a health hazard to your kids and pets.

•Wood Composite:This is probably the best choice you’ll make for your outdoor space. It is durable, resistant to rot and termite, resembles natural hardwood, does not stain or fade, and its environmentally friendly (made of recycled wood fibers and plastic). The average price of a composite deck is $35- $50 per square feet.

So wood Composite will be the best choose for outdoor use .
