Q: Why is composite decking so much more expensive than wood?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-install-composite-decking.htm">Composite decking</a> might cost more upfront, but it delivers value in terms of durability. Unlike wood, composite material resists common deck problems such as rotting, fading, warping, and all the other things you don&rsquo;t want a deck to do. The extra processes lead to a higher price tag, but you&rsquo;ll save big in maintenance costs down the road.</p></div>

Q: What ruins composite decking?

• <div><p>Although composite decking is extremely durable, it&rsquo;s also susceptible to extreme heat. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading, warping, and cracking. Composite also retains heat more than wood, which makes it dangerous to walk on in the summer. You can help prevent heat damage by only building with composite in shaded areas or using rugs to cover the hottest spots. </p></div>

Q: How long does a vinyl deck last?

• <div><p>With proper installation and maintenance, a vinyl deck can last up to <b>30 years</b>. Factors like regular cleaning, minimal wear and tear, proper installation, and the use of higher-grade materials can extend its durability. However, extreme weather conditions or neglecting maintenance might shorten its lifespan. Adhering to manufacturer recommendations for care and occasional inspections can significantly prolong a vinyl deck's longevity.</p></div>

Q: Is vinyl decking cheaper than wood?

• <div><p>It depends on the type of wood. The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-build-deck.htm#additional-costs">cost to build a deck</a> out of pressure-treated lumber is <b>$15 to $25 per square foot</b>, but more affordable varieties such as bamboo and cedar cost less at around <b>$3 to $10 per square foot</b>. However, when comparing the cost of vinyl decking versus wood decking, it&rsquo;s important to also consider ongoing maintenance costs. For example, most woods require regular sealing to keep them protected against weather and rot.</p></div>

Q: What is the best sustainable wood material for decks?

• <div><p>When sourced responsibly, the most sustainable wood decking options are timber trees like redwood, pine, Douglas fir, Nootka cypress, and Western red cedar. These tree species are fast-growing with low carbon emissions. Plus, most timber woods make durable deck materials because of their resistance to rot and decay over time. </p></div>
