Common Types of Garden Decking


Garden decking can add value and beauty to your home. Here are the different types of decking that you can use for your garden deck:

Ø  Timber Decking
The most popular and traditional material used for garden decking is wood. It tends to be our first port of call when it comes to decking. The common types of wood used for timber decking are oak, ipe, teak and iroko. Timber is durable and aesthetically pleasing.

Use oil, paint, preservatives or stain to prolong the life span of your timber deck. Oil is said to be the best option since it enhances the natural beauty of the timber and it protects the wood from the many elements.

Ø  Composite Decking
Composite is a great alternative to wood but it is not a natural product. Composite is made up of wood fibre and plastic that is combined to create a plank. It doesn’t expand or contract with changes in moisture and temperature. That means it will not easily crack, warp or split compared to solid wood.

Ø  PVC Decking
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is one of the most produced plastics in the world. It is a versatile product that is known for its strength and adaptability. People choose PVC decking because it is low maintenance.

Ø  Aluminium Decking
Aluminium decking is the cutting edge decking option because it is maintenance-free. Also, it is well suited to a cutting edge decking project. It is a relatively new addition to the UK decking options. However, aluminium decking is not that easy to incorporate into a classic decking project.

Above all the options, most people consider wood to be the best material for decking. Timber is easy to maintain, eco-friendly and highly durable. Therefore, a timber deck will definitely add value to your home.
