PVC Decks
PVC decking is a fully synthetic material known for its outstanding durability and low maintenance. It requires no sanding, staining, or painting, making it a hassle-free choice for outdoor spaces. Since PVC decking is a wood-free product, it doesn't absorb moisture, making it ideal for waterfront properties, high-humidity areas, or regions with extended wet weather seasons, such as the Lower Mainland in BC.
PVC decking is friendly to bare feet. If you enjoy walking barefoot on hot summer days, opt for PVC decking, which can remain up to 30% cooler than composite decking.
PVC decking is made entirely from 100% polymers and features a four-sided cap made of high-performance materials. Its ultra-durable solid core is composed of a blend of virgin and recycled polymers, ensuring strength and longevity. Unlike traditional alternatives, advanced PVC decking contains no wood or organic fillers, eliminating potential risks to the core or cap's long-term durability.
Innovations in materials science, particularly in North America, have transformed the PVC decking industry, setting a new benchmark for achieving authentic wood aesthetics. Modern PVC decking has moved beyond earlier generations' shiny, plastic appearance, offering the rich colours and textures of natural wood without drawbacks.
