ASA Decking Material - One of the Best Synthetic Decking Materials on the Market

If you’re thinking about building a deck and want to go with a synthetic material, you need to understand your options. Besides real wood, there are a number of synthetic materials on the market, including PVC, capstock, and composite.

Composite, a combination of plastic, wood fibers, and wood flour, is the least expensive option and has several benefits over wood, but also requires regular maintenance and is prone to dry rot, staining, and mold and mildew. Capstock is essentially composite decking with a layer of PVC on the outside. It’s resistant to all kinds of issues that plague wood and composite, but can still suffer from mildew or mold if the material can’t breathe. PVC decks are comprised of plastic resin. This makes them easy to maintain and resistant to things like stains, splinters, scratches, and mold, but they still fade over time and are not particularly environmentally friendly.

Zuri PVC Decking

Why Zuri PVC Decking May Be a Better Option for Your Home

If you’re trying to decide on what material you want to use for your new deck, there are basically three options: traditional wood, composite decking, and PVC decking. Of the three, PVC decking has always required the least upkeep, but it was also traditionally viewed as the least natural and attractive option out there – someone looking for hardwood low maintenance decking might opt for a composite because it blends synthetic material with actual wood, but PVC decking was out of the question.
