Deck Materials
Composite Decking: Low Maintenance and Long-Lasting Appeal
Composite Decks
- Durability: Resistant to moisture, mould, and UV damage, making it ideal for Ottawa’s climate.
- Low Maintenance: No need for staining, sealing, or sanding—simply clean occasionally with soap and water.
- Consistent Appearance: Composite boards maintain their look over time without warping or splintering.
Design Flexibility:
Composite decking offers a sleek, uniform appearance and can be paired with aluminum or glass railings for a contemporary look.
Cedar Decks
Cedar is a premium wood known for its natural beauty and resistance to decay. It’s a popular choice for homeowners who love the organic look and feel of real wood. Cedar’s warm tones and tight grain patterns add a timeless charm to any outdoor space.
Why Choose Cedar Decking:
- Aesthetic Appeal: Cedar’s rich colour and natural texture provide a classic, rustic look.
- Naturally Resistant: Cedar contains natural oils that make it resistant to rot, insects, and weathering.
- Longevity with Proper Care: With routine maintenance, such as staining and sealing, cedar decks can last for many years while maintaining their beauty.
Design Flexibility:
Cedar’s versatility allows for intricate designs and detailing, from curved edges to custom railings, making it perfect for rustic and traditional deck styles.
Pressure Treated Woods
Pressure-treated wood is one of the most commonly used decking materials, valued for its affordability and strength. Treated with preservatives to resist rot and insects, it’s an economical choice that offers great value for budget-conscious homeowners.
Why Choose Pressure Treated Woods:
- Cost-Effective: Pressure-treated wood is budget-friendly, making it accessible for a wide range of projects.
- Durability: Enhanced with chemicals, pressure-treated wood resists moisture and insect damage, extending its lifespan.
- Customizable Finish: While pressure-treated wood starts with a greenish hue, it can be stained or painted to match your desired aesthetic.
Design Flexibility:
Ideal for both simple and complex deck designs, pressure-treated wood works well in a variety of styles, from traditional to contemporary.
