Look and Feel of Real Wood

Wood is the traditional choice for residential decking. It looks good, is less expensive to install than some other alternatives, and comes in different colors or can be painted. But, is a wood deck really the best option? TimberTech® is a composite decking that is made to look and feel like real wood. If you’re looking for nature-inspired decking, you should know that you’re not just stuck with real wood which can be costly and cumbersome to maintain.

Low Maintenance

One of the biggest reasons why TimberTech® is a popular choice for decking is the fact that it’s low maintenance. You don’t have to worry about sanding and staining it every few years. TimberTech® is designed to look like wood, but it will keep its appearance for many years without you having to lift a finger. It’s durable, won't fade in the sun, and can stand up to extreme weather conditions.

Multitude of Design Options

When it comes to the look and design of your deck, there are only a limited number of choices with wood. Cedar or Redwood are the most common types used. And, although you can certainly stain your deck to match the color you desire, keep in mind that you’ll have to reapply stain every few years to keep it looking nice.

With TimberTech® decking, you have a wide variety of color and style options that will look as good as the day they were installed many years from now. You can choose from a variety of colors ranging from tan and brown to light and dark gray and everything in between.

Sustainable Building Choice

Although a real wood deck may seem like a more “natural” product, that doesn’t mean that it’s good for the planet. Millions of trees are used in the making of wood decking while TimberTech® actually helps the planet by diverting waste from landfills to use for making their composite decking. Using scraps from landfills to create a beautiful, long-lasting, and low-maintenance product is what you might call a win-win for everyone.
