Composite decking vs. wood decking: which one to choose?



The style of your home
The style you want to give to your patio can be different depending on the materials you choose. A cedar deck without stain or an IPE wood deck will tend to rot over time. Composite decking offers, on the other hand, resistance to rot and retains much the same appearance, except that the color can fade in the sun.
Because of its rustic look, a wood deck can be a great match for a country-style home. For example, a pine patio will bring a unique touch to your yard. The variations in color and texture that are naturally present in wood planks may also sway your choice in favor of this material. However, some composite shades are becoming more and more similar to natural wood.
For a home with a more modern look, a composite deck will work well. This material makes it easy to create a sleek look with composite decking and railing.
