Decking
Composite and PVC
This is the fastest-growing type of decking material on today’s market. Composite is typically made from a mixture of recycled plastic and wood dust that’s molded into long, dense boards. PVC (polyvinyl chloride) decking is made of 100 percent plastic.
Aluminum
By far the lightest decking material and the strongest. Comes in a variety of wood-grain finishes and colors. Most aluminum decking planks have interlocking edges which create gap-free, watertight decks. Particularly useful for 2nd story decks since the space below stays dry.
Wood
The common types are pressure treated, cedar, redwood and tropical hardwoods
