Vinyl Decking vs Wood Decks
- Splinter-free: With vinyl decking, splinters are no longer a worry, and upkeep is a breeze. Wood decks entail more work because they require sanding to achieve the same effect.
- Doesn't crack or rot: Though it looks like wood, vinyl decking is much more robust and isn't prone to rotting or cracking like wood. It's a cost-effective solution that will help you save more in the long run.
- Waterproof: Over time, wood decks absorb water and tend to warp. The water can also cause mold and mildew to grow, which may lead to health concerns. Overall you will have to spend more on maintenance to ensure this doesn't happen. Designed to be waterproof, vinyl decking is a great way to protect your deck and beautify your outdoor living space at the same time.
- Insect-resistant: Wood decking is often prone to damage from insects like termites. This is not the case with vinyl, so it's much easier to maintain.
- Available in a plethora of styles: Vinyl decking is available in an array of stunning colours. So, unlike wood decking, vinyl doesn't have to be stained to match the palette and style of your home or office. It will blend in effortlessly.
Vinyl Decking vs Asphalt Membranes
- Stays cooler: Unlike asphalt membranes, vinyl decks do not get overheated because they are manufactured with state-of-the-art technology. Never experience burnt feet again.
- Crack-free: When asphalt isn’t installed well it is prone to pitting and cracks, which is not the case with vinyl decking.
- Environmentally-friendly Since asphalt is manufactured using petroleum, hydrocarbons are a by-product of the process, increasing pollution. Being an environmentally conscious company, at Alborz Roofing, we make every effort to reduce our carbon footprint, which is one of the reasons we prefer vinyl decking.
