Timber Vs Composite Decking: Which is right for you?

The two most popular decking types - timber and composite - offer distinct advantages. Which one suits you better depends on how much time you want to spend maintaining it, your aesthetic preference, and how long you plan to stay in your home.

FEATURE TIMBER COMPOSITE
Appearance Natural Grain Wood-look Plastic
Maintenance High Low
Cost Low Upfront Cost High Upfront Cost
Lifespan 10 - 15 Years 25+ Years

 

Tips: 

  • Timber weathers over time and will require periodic staining to keep it protected and looking great. But it has a low cost per metre. 
  • Composite retains its look for longer with minimal upkeep, but costs more per metre. 

Checklist:

⊗ Want a traditional look → Timber

⊗ Prefer minimal upkeep → Composite

⊗ Need high durability in wet areas → Composite
