Which Deck Materials Should You Choose?

When deciding upon a deck material, you need to consider your total investment – in dollars and upkeep time. Ideally you might prefer composite over pressure-treated wood but does your budget allow for the fact it’s twice the price? You might prefer cedar over pressure-treated lumber but are you prepared to stain it every year? Your Calgary deck builder can help you decide which material work best for you.

HERE IS A GUIDELINE TO CHOOSE YOUR DECK MATERIAL:

Composite Decks – cost more but they stand the test of time and are easy to keep clean.  If you want a longer-lasting, virtually maintenance free deck, we recommend investing in composite deck.  Costs  30-50% more in material than wood decks.

Pressure-treated Wood Decks & Fences –are the lowest cost material for building decks and fences.  It can be left unpainted but looks better painted.  Pressure-treated wood cannot be painted immediately after construction.  It must cure for a number of weeks before painting.  If you are particular, you may end up repainting every 2 years.

Cedar Decks – are not that much more than pressure-treated but have a nicer look.  It might cost 15% more, however, staining is faster and easier than painting pressure-treated wood. Overall it offers a nice look for a longer time.

Deck Aluminum Railing Systems – We purchase our railing systems from Home-Rail, a local manufacturer with a great selection of railings.  You can visit their website or showroom to select railing products that will best suit your needs and design style.
