To build a better
deck, you have a few choices and materials to choose from. Please
select decking material bellow , to learn more about the product and its
specifications.
1)
Western Red Cedar
Western Red Cedar is reddish brown and ages to
silvery gray. The soft wood splinters easily, but holds up well in rain,
sun, heat, and cold. To add beauty and durability to your cedar deck,
use a penetrating stain.
2)
Redwood
Like cedar, redwood is a soft lumber that ages to
a pleasing gray. Prolonged moisture will cause the wood to blacken. A redwood
deck will resist rot, but will look more attractive if you use a sealer.
3)
Ipé
Known by the brand names Pau Lope® and Iron
Woods®, Ipé is an almost magical South American hardwood. The USDA Forest
Service Products Laboratory gives Ipé top marks for bug- and rot-resistance, and
the wood is so hard, it's nearly as difficult to burn as concrete. The use of
rain forest woods is controversial, however. If you choose Ipé for your deck,
make sure that it has been harvested responsibly.
4)
ACQ Lumber
ACQ is a copper based preservative system that is
the most cost-effective alternative to CCA. ACQ has been researched and tested
since the late 1980's. It was introduced commercially in 1992. ACQ provides
dependable performance and is building code compliant (NER 628). It treats a
wider range softwood lumber species, and is quality assured by a third party
(TPI or SPIB). Like CCA, it is treated against decay and insect damage. When
purchased, freshly treated ACQ is the familiar green color like CCA. It will
weather to a tan/brown color in months and eventually weather to gray over time.
It can be stained or sealed.
5)
Trex, Timber-Tech, Fiberon, Azek
These decking and railing products are made from a unique combination of
reclaimed wood and plastics, giving you the best qualities of both materials.
The plastic shields the wood from moisture and insect damage, so there's no
rotting or splintering. The wood protects the plastic from UV damage and gives
your deck a solid, natural feel. It looks great year after year.
