PT (pressure
Treated Southern Yellow Pine)
We still build a fair share of Treated decks and dollar for
dollar PT decks are a great buy. PT decks do require an initial sanding
and sealing as well as some regular sealing's or staining, the key here
is the first sealing (which we apply) is done correctly and when the
wood is still very fresh. This initial treatment insures the wood
seasons/ages gently and will greatly enhance the lifespan and beauty of
your PT deck. |

Ipe (ironwood):
what we like about Ipe: Ipe is the hardest densest deck
material real or synthetic. It will last well beyond any other outdoor
decking, it is rot and decay resistant, does not split and splinter like
other woods and is easy to pressure wash. Many companies are rallying to
produce composites that look like and try to last like Ipe, most times
at costs greater then ipe itself. Ipe is a fantastic buy and an
excellent outdoor deck material, It's beauty and durability is 2nd to
none. |

Tigerwood (goncalo
Alves) : Tigerwood's
striking grain is a conversation piece. the beautiful wood tones
actually become richer when exposed to the sun. Although not as dense as
Ipe, Tigerwood is still very tough and durable. It is not necessary to
oil or seal Tigerwood, but maintaining the rich deep color and
striking grain contrast several oiling's in the first few years are
recommended. We thoroughly apply the initial oiling and recommend as
many as 3 light discreet coats in the first year. Tigerwood
decking contrast nicely with our white solid vinyl rails! |

Evergrain composite deck: Evergrain offers a softer more organic look
then most other composites. The deep embossed grain and excellent
natural color pallet looks much more like a real wood deck. While the
surface is quite hard and durable, Evergrain performs well and is truly
"easycare" requiring only light periodical cleanings. Evergrain is
tough enough for careful pressure washing. Evergrain does not have a
fading problem like Trex and some of the others had, initially the color
will slightly fade to the desirable final shade or color. Evergrain has
been our favorite composite and a consistent performer. |
 |
Azek: Azek and other PVC lumbers have
made a nice splash on the market. Azek is lighter then most composites
and very easy to work with. Azek is a very neat and clean and looks like
vinyl siding we are used to seeing on houses. defiantly not to be
confused with a look of real wood Akez almost has a hygienic look. Can
be too artificial looking for some while others find the same attribute
desirable. Darker colors are subject to chalking. we enjoy working with
Azek and some of the other cellular PVC's.
