A Brief Account of Various Types of Decking Boards Your Deck Installation May Involve

Decking, ostensibly, is one fantastic option that you can consider to not only lift up the look and feel of your home, but to strike up a connection between the outdoors and the indoors. Now, there are various types of decks that you can opt for. Though different types of deck vary in terms of their overall look and feel, the difference predominantly lies in their decking boards and the materials they are made up of. Here on this page, we discuss the various types of decking boards.

The three principal types of decking boards that you can choose from are…

• Composite
• Hardwood
• Softwood

Composite Decking Board

This is a relatively newer variety of decking board and comes with an innovative look and feel. This variety of board may come in tiles or in the form of boards, and hence can be seamlessly used outdoors. It is made up of a combination of plastic and wool and adds a new aesthetic look and feel to the deck and your property. In fact, this particular variety is pretty popular amongst those planning for deck installation at their homes in Brisbane or elsewhere, much due to its durability. It is also an eco-friendly variety, as it comes as a combo of wood and plastic wastes. 

Hardwood Decking Board

This is the more traditional variety of material that has been in use for the making of decking floors for years. This variety of board is manufactured from stubborn trees like oak,and hence are pretty expensive. But still, when cut, designed and conditioned by quality deck building and installation experts in Melbourne, they turn up to be money’s worth. Indeed they carry a lot of class and finesse, and are indeed a treat for the eyes.

However, not many professional deck installers are competent enough to work on them as building and designing hardwood decks is a bit challenging. We at BB Decking are good and expert enough to come up with seamless hardwood decking solutions.

Softwood Decking Board

This is considered the most inexpensive variety of decking, the wood is generally derived from the renewable trees such as pine. Another reason behind the low price of this type of decking is that it comes from the wood of trees that grow faster. And this ensures that the manufacturers are able to quickly replace and clear out their stocks. But this does not mean that these decks are short living and less stubborn. If they are well maintained and properly cared for, they can last for as many as 25 years.

Another advantage of these decks is that you can change the colour, finish and the overall getup of these decks with relative ease. Thus, these decks would come in handy if you have a knack of hiring quality deck builders in Brisbane and change the aesthetic appeal and the look and feel of your backyard periodically
