Composite or Wood? How to Choose Your Right Decking Material.

When it comes time to build a deck for your home, you have two main options: composite or wood. Both have their pros and cons, so how do you know which is the best option for you? In this blog post, we will compare and contrast composite and wood decks, so that you can make an informed decision about which one is right for your needs.

Armadillo Decking (available from Sprenger Midwest, is one of the most popular composite decking products on the market. It is made from recycled materials, so it is an eco-friendly choice, and it is also very durable and low-maintenance. Armadillo Decking comes in a variety of colors, so you can find the perfect match for your home’s exterior.

The benefits of composite decking are that it is very low-maintenance and durable. You won’t have to worry about sanding or painting your composite deck, and it won’t crack, chip, or splinter like wood can. Composite decking is also a great choice if you are looking for a slip-resistant surface; it is much less slippery than traditional wood decks.

Alternatively, composite decking can be more expensive than wood, and it can also be hotter to the touch than natural wood. If you live in an area with a lot of sun, you may find that your composite deck gets too hot to walk on barefoot.

Wood decks are a classic choice for many homeowners. Wood is a natural material, so it is environmentally friendly, and it can also be stained or painted to match your home’s exterior. Wood decks are generally less expensive than composite decks, but they require more maintenance. You will need to sand and stain your wood deck every few years to keep it looking its best.

Decks are a great investment for any home. They provide extra outdoor living space and can be used for entertaining, dining, or simply relaxing. When deciding between composite and wood for your next deck, we suggest talking to a Sprenger Midwest retailer near you to see samples and get more information.
