COMPOSITE VS WOOD

We all love the look of wood decking, but not its drawbacks. Quality composite decking offers you the beauty of timber decking, but in a hassle-free, durable option that’s longer lasting, gentler on the environment, and virtually maintenance-free. Cutting-edge engineering is bringing even greater structural advancements and lifestyle benefits to composite decking, and thoughtful detail to aesthetics now gives composite an even more natural appearance in a greater range of colors and textures. The international popularity of composite stands as testament to its functionality and livability.
THE DOWNSIDES TO WOOD

Wood requires ongoing, time consuming, and costly maintenance and may need environmentally harmful stains, sealants, and chemicals for its preservation.

Wood may rot, warp, twist, and splinter over time, creating a surface that is unsafe and unkind to bare feet.

Insects and termites feed and burrow into wood, which can compromise the integrity of your deck.

Wood fades over time and is often prone to staining and scratching, which affects its look and functionality.

Felling trees to make wood decking contributes to deforestation and the destruction of our precious ecosystems.

COMPARE COMPOSITE TO WOOD

Use the chart below to get a better sense of how composite and wood compare.
Over time composite engineering has improved to offer the market hardier, longer-lasting composite decking with more natural aesthetics. Product composition has become more sustainable with more manufacturers incorporating recycled plastics rather than virgin plastic, and industry leaders like Eva-Last opt to exclusively manufacture BPC thanks to the sustainability and impressive performance features of bamboo.

COST OVER TIME

As any homeowner knows, the purchase price is just the start of the costs of wood decking. While composite decking may initially cost more per linear foot, over time it can work out to be significantly more cost-effective than timber decking by saving on installation, transportation, upkeep, and its extended lifespan.

Note: Each Eva-Last decking technology uses its own unique methods and manufacturing techniques in its creation. The process above details the general outline and is not specific to any one brand.
