With the first sun and hot days, we want to be outdoors, enjoying our garden and pool. There is a question from many of our clients that is repeated season after season: Which of the two types of Decking Derby should I choose? What are the differences between the wooden deck and the synthetic deck? Which is better?
Next, we analyzed the advantages and differences of the two outdoor Decking Derby systems so that you can draw your conclusions. Also, the reality is that both deck systems are very functional and effective, where the final choice will depend on your tastes and needs.
Natural solid wood deck:
Traditional solid hardwood decks come in different varieties of wood that have special properties for outdoor use.
They are varieties of hardwoods, heavy, suitable for outdoor use, and resistant to inclement weather and humidity. They are types of wood widely used in the construction of wooden structures, pergolas, beams, floors, and houses.
Some benefits of Decking Derby:
- The classic warmth and elegance of wood that, with its aesthetics, blends in with the natural environment of any garden. The touch, feel, and type of grain of the wood does not have other materials.
- Its durability. Some types of solid wood are very durable over the years and require only minimal maintenance after several seasons of use.
- Very practical and friendly to walk barefoot. Wood has very little heat absorption, so deck boards get very little heat from the sun.
- Wood is a noble and natural material, very versatile for making different types of coatings and designs. You will always be able to adapt to any idea.
- Wood is 100% ecological, natural, renewable, and recyclable.
WPC or synthetic PVC decks:
There are new and good alternatives to the use of natural wood on the market that has evolved a lot over the years. For example, WPC Decks (Wood Plastic Composite) and PVC Decks (Polyvinyl Chloride).
Regarding the placement of both deck systems, a similar methodology is used, with screws or hidden clamp. It is best to have the selected deck installed by a specialist.
Another issue, no less relevant, is the Price: the average market prices, both of the wooden Decking Derby of excellent quality, and the WPC Decks, are more or less similar.
In conclusion, after analyzing the different Decking Derby systems, the final choice will mainly depend on the uses, tastes, and needs of each client.
