Low Maintaince composite decking
One of the main benefits in using a composite decking apart from the low maintenance is that there is no need for deck screws. The decking is secured to the sub-floor by hidden clips on either side of the decking, therefore they are not visible as they are under the face of the deck. This allows for a much more seamless finish compared to having screw lines running across the deck, when using natural timber. Composite also comes in a much wider variety of colours, meaning you can choose exactly the right product to suit your design and budget. We recommend and install only quality composite decking brands.

Timber Decking is a popular choice for homeowners as there’s nothing quite like the beauty and warmth of natural timber. The versatility of timber decking can work for a modern, contemporary style home, but is typically more suited for traditional style homes, giving your backyard a rustic feel. Plus, with various colours and textures available you can easily pick a style to complement your home setting. The deep warm timber also contrasts nicely against the greenery in your backyard, creating an inviting space for entertaining family and friends.

Composite decking VS Timber decking
Composite decking
Composite decking is a low maintenance and long-lasting decking option. It doesn’t require painting, staining and sealing and will out last most timber decks with very little maintenance. It’s also less likely to split or crack like timber.
Quality composite materials are UV-stabilised, meaning they won’t fade to grey or bleach due to exposure to the sun. On top of that, some brands of composite decking are more eco-friendly than natural timbers. Since composite boards don’t need regular oiling or staining, they require fewer harmful chemicals and oils for maintenance.
The downsides of composite boards are mostly related to the look and the cost. While they are available in a range of timber-style finishes, composite decking struggles to replicate the natural look of timber that many find so appealing. And while tough and durable, they don’t quite have the same underfoot feel as natural timber boards.
Finally, quality composite decking is generally more expensive than timber. While you will recoup your costs over time due to savings on maintenance, it does mean a greater upfront cost, but well worth it in the long run.

Timber Decking Builder
When it comes to timber decking, you need to bear in mind the wide range of timbers available and the very different properties and prices for different materials. Your basic pressure-treated pine will be cheap but won’t be very durable and in my opinion not worth the effort. Whereas imported or native hardwoods will look amazing when oiled and be ultra-durable.
Quite simply, there is no substitute for the look and feel of timber deck. The wide range of different timbers available offers a spectrum of natural colours, tones and beautiful graining patterns.
However, the main problem with timber decking is the maintenance requirements. Without proper oiling, painting, staining and sealing timber is vulnerable to rot, decay, termites, moisture damage and sun fading, timber decking must be maintained correctly.
Because your timber deck is exposed to different weather conditions, it’s important to provide proper maintenance to ensure your Timber decking lasts for deck-aides! Not sure if it’s time to re-oil your deck? Here is a simple test to check whether your deck is still protected…
Splash a few drops of water onto the surface of your deck and see what happens. If the water beads up and remains on the surface, it’s still protected. However, if the water soaks into the decking timber quickly, it’s probably time to re-oil.
Since Hard wood timber decking contains natural oils, it is recommended to use water-based oil on your decking. Quality hard wood decking is expensive, however people love the look of it’s timber finish. You can always try composite decking which is a great alternative but cost more.
