An informed decision is a confident one when deciding between composite decking boards and PVC decking.
Before you build a new deck or replace the decking on your existing one, it’s crucial to understand the materials available to you and the differences between them. Being informed could save you time, money, and frustration down the road.
5 Differences Between Composite Decking Boards and Endeck PVC Decking
Understanding these primary differences between composite decking boards and Endeck PVC Decking will help you make the best choice for your family and property.
Here are five key differences between composite decking and Endeck PVC decking and why they matter:
- Material Composition – Composite decking boards are made from a blend of wood fibers and plastic materials, while Endeck PVC Decking is made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride), meaning it has no organic material. Wood fibers and other organic materials are the source of the biggest concerns of composite decking.
- Durability – While composite decking certainly has a leg up on traditional wood decking when it comes to durability, neither compares to Endeck PVC decking’s ability to withstand long-term use while still remaining beautiful. Endeck backs this up with a lifetime warranty for as long as you own your home.
- Maintenance – Both materials are a vast improvement over wood decking when it comes to maintenance, but Endeck PVC decking is typically easier to clean and maintain than composite decking boards. A simple hose and occasional soap and water are all you need to keep your deck looking as beautiful as day one of installation.
- Moisture Resistance – Endeck PVC decking is impervious to moisture and humidity, making it an excellent choice for areas with high moisture levels. Composite decking boards are also somewhat resistant to moisture but may be more prone to mold and mildew growth in humid conditions due to the organic matter in its composition.
- Cost-effectiveness – Composite decking boards have slightly less upfront cost but require more maintenance over time. Endeck PVC Decking is virtually maintenance-free and has a lifetime warranty, eliminating future expenses associated with your decking.
