Benefits of Timber & Composite Decking

At STC, we offer two primary decking options: timber decking for its natural beauty and composite decking for its durability and low maintenance. Here’s a breakdown of the key benefits and differences:

Timber Decking

  • Natural Aesthetic: Timber offers an authentic, warm, and inviting look that is difficult to replicate, making it a popular choice for outdoor spaces.
  • Customizability: Timber can be stained to match any desired shade or color, allowing you to personalize your deck to fit your style.
  • Sustainability: When sourced from sustainable forests, timber is an eco-friendly option, making it a renewable and responsible choice.
Popular Timber Decking Options
  • Rhodesian Teak: Known for its exceptional wear resistance and durability, this highly sought-after wood is less available, making it a premium option for decking.
  • Garapa: A durable hardwood with a beautiful yellow to light brown hue, Garapa offers both strength and elegance to any deck.
  • Balau: Perfect for dry, warm climates, Balau is a dense, reddish-brown timber, ideal for environments like the Highveld.
  • Massaranduba: This dark-hued wood is extremely durable and low maintenance, making it ideal for long-lasting, weather-resistant decking.
  • CCA Pine: South African clear pine, CCA treated under pressure making it weather and insect resistant and can be stained any colour.

Composite Decking

Composite decking provides a modern, low-maintenance alternative to natural wood. Made from a blend of wood fibers and recycled plastics, it offers the look of timber with enhanced durability.

  • Durability: Composite decking is highly resistant to weathering, moisture, and insect damage, requiring minimal maintenance over time.
  • Low Maintenance: Unlike traditional wood, composite decking does not need regular staining, sealing, or sanding.
  • Sustainability: Made from recycled materials, composite decking is an eco-friendly choice that contributes to sustainability.
Popular Composite Decking Options
  • Wood-Plastic Composites (WPC): A combination of wood fibers and recycled plastics, WPC decking is designed for durability and ease of care, offering the look of wood with enhanced longevity.
