How to Choose the Right Decking Material for Your Home

You’re finally ready to build that dream deck. You can already picture the summer BBQs, lazy Sunday afternoons, and endless gatherings with family and friends. 

But then comes the big question: What decking material should you choose? Timber? Composite? PVC? 

With so many options available, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Each material comes with its own benefits and challenges, and picking the wrong one could mean extra costs and maintenance headaches down the track. 

So, how do you make the right choice? Let’s break it down and find the best fit for your home.

1. Timber Decking – The Classic

There’s no denying the charm of a timber deck. It brings that warm, natural feel that’s perfect for outdoor gatherings. However, timber requires maintenance. Lots of it. Think staining, sealing, and regular cleaning to keep it looking fresh. And, depending on where you live, the timber can be vulnerable to the harsh Aussie sun or the rain.

Now, don’t let that scare you. If you’re someone who enjoys DIY projects and the natural appeal of wood, timber decking can be a great option. Just be prepared to invest a bit of time into upkeep.

2. Composite Decking – Low Maintenance and Long-Lasting

If you want the look of timber but without the endless upkeep, composite decking could be your go-to. Made from a blend of wood fibres and recycled plastic, composite decking offers a beautiful wood-like appearance while being super durable and low-maintenance.

What makes composite decking stand out is its resistance to fading, mould, and stains. You won’t have to worry about annual staining or sealing. Plus, it’s eco-friendly! Many composite boards are made using recycled materials, so you can feel good about your choice.

However, composite decking does have a higher initial cost than timber. But when you factor in the long-term savings from lower maintenance, it often ends up being more cost-effective.

3. PVC Decking – Tough and Durable

PVC decking is all about durability. 

This synthetic material is resistant to moisture, mildew, and rot, making it ideal for areas prone to wet conditions. If you’re looking for a long-term investment, PVC boards are a great choice. They’re lightweight, easy to install, and they hold up really well under harsh Australian conditions.

The downside? PVC decking tends to be on the pricier side when compared to timber or composite. But you’re paying for longevity. PVC requires minimal maintenance, which is why many homeowners find it’s worth the extra cost.

Key Considerations When Choosing Decking

When choosing your decking, there are a few important factors to weigh:

Budget: How much are you willing to spend? Timber may be cheaper upfront, but the maintenance costs add up over time. Composite and PVC might cost more initially, but save you money in the long run. ��� Want to know more?

Cladding vs Facade: What's the Difference?

While often used interchangeably in architecture, cladding and facade refer to different aspects of a building's exterior.

Facade refers to the front or exterior face of a building, especially the most prominent or decorative side. It plays a major role in defining the architectural style and character of a structure. In many cases, the term “facade” includes windows, doors, and design elements that give a building its visual identity.

Cladding, on the other hand, is the external layer or material applied to the building’s structure. It serves both aesthetic and functional purposes, such as improving insulation, weather resistance, and fire safety. Cladding materials can include wood, metal, glass, stone, composite panels, and more. For more details : https://archeracp.com/what-is-the-difference-between-a-cladding-and-a-facade.php

We got planning! This project has taken quite a few months with 7 revisions to the council (under one application) The council discussed with us the scale, materiality, neighbour objections but we worked wth the council, neighbours, had sample boards made up, changed the pitch and scale (by only 300mm) and we finally got it over the line including a bigger extension than is allowed under permitted development!! ⠀ ⠀ The hue of the outside is a reflection of the multi coloured front facades (ours was blue - swipe right for a pic of the rear) ⠀ ⠀ It is rare to get more space than allowed for under permitted development along with our beautiful lazer cut stone cladding (thanks @solus). The growing family needed the extra space at high level for an extra bedroom which could sleep two small children therefore it was important we kept pushing for the extra space on the outrigger. ⠀ ⠀ We take on 'just planning' projects like this. Get in touch if you're thinking of renovating in the new year. ⠀ ⠀ We're off to Westminster now for a site meeting - Watch this space! ⠀ ⠀ 02034884199⠀ ⠀ Loud x ⠀ ⠀ #townplanning #planningpermission #councilplanning #countryplanning #planningpermissionlondon #architectsplanningpermission #planning #councilpermission #theplanninggame #planningportal #planning #cad #architecturedrawings #sketchup #3d #architecturephotography #architecturedesign #claddingdesign (at West London) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5H124jBAX1/?igshid=9yawms4hqwmy
