If you aren’t keen on keeping up with the maintenance required by timber decking, getting a PVC deck is a great choice. It is easy to install, looks good for a long time, lasts for years, and maintenance is basically just hosing it down to keep it clean.
Manufacturers have a lot of trouble ensuring that PVC decking looks great. They colour them like stained hardwood and even stamp them with a timber grain effect so they look and feel like timber. The colour range is very respectable too, much like you’ll get in timber. You certainly don’t get the sense they are artificial or plastic.
We’ve already mentioned how little maintenance is involved with PVC decks, but it’s such an advantage it’s worth mentioning again. You don’t need to reseal or repaint your PVC deck. All you do is hose it off occasionally. You don’t even need to deal with mildew, mould or stains because PVC is resistant to them.
PVC doesn’t rust, warp, rot or corrode, and termites aren’t an issue. It is treated with UV inhibitors if you’re worried about the colour fading or the decking becoming brittle in the sunlight. Even chlorinated pool water doesn’t damage it. Apart from being durable, PVC is also strong.
PVC decking is very easy to install because there’s no pre-drilling needed, and the planks can be laid down quickly. They are available in various lengths to suit your deck's proportions.
PVC decking lasts for a long time, which is why they come with such long warranties. These could be anything from 25 to 50 years. If installed correctly, your PVC decking will continue for decades.
