If you’re like many homeowners living in the Atlanta area, creating an outdoor space to relax with family and entertain guests is important. Having a beautiful-looking deck is the fastest way to impress your guests and enjoy your backyard for years to come. Here are some of the most popular decking materials used today:
Pressure-treated wood offers great protection from moisture, insects, and mold, and will last for up to 20 years. These types of decks also have a smooth and cohesive look with fewer visible knots. You can also find kiln-dried and treated (KDAT) wood, which is even more resistant to warping or splitting.
Composite is a synthetic material with a similar appearance to wood with realistic grain finishes. Decks made with this material are easy to maintain, safe, and durable. You can also find composite in a variety of natural colors to match your home’s style. These decks require some cleaning and maintenance, but not as much as natural wood decks.
Hardwood is a durable material and one of the most beautiful on the market. It has a tighter grain, handles the elements well, and is also pest resistant. Hardwood decks have grown in popularity in recent years thanks to their natural strength and class A fire rating,which is the same as other fire-retardant materials.
