Composite decking in simple terms
Composite boards are usually made from a mix of wood fibres and plastic, with a protective cap on many modern products. They are popular because they offer a wood-like look with much less maintenance than natural wood.
Composite is a strong choice for many South Shore backyards, pool decks, balconies, and family spaces where durability and appearance both matter.
PVC decking in simple terms
PVC boards are made from synthetic material without wood fibres. They are very moisture resistant and can be a strong option around water, shade, or areas where rot resistance is a priority.
PVC can cost more than some composite collections, but the performance can justify it in the right setting.
How to choose
The best choice depends on budget, colour, heat, exposure, desired texture, and the exact product collection. It is not only a material question; it is a product question.
- Choose composite when you want a balanced look, durability, and many colour options.
- Choose PVC when moisture resistance and very low maintenance are the top priorities.
- Compare samples outdoors in sun and shade before deciding.
