Which Decking Material Should I Consider?
Timber Or Composite
-
Timber Decking
Timber remains a favourite across New South Wales for its natural warmth, character and versatility. Correctly selected species cope with Albury‑Wodonga’s hot summers and cold winters. Durable hardwoods and treated pine resist termites, decay, and surface checking. This happens when you install them with good ventilation.
Regular cleaning and oiling help maintain their condition. Timber can be refinished, repaired board by board and reshaped over time, giving flexibility for future changes.
-
Composite Decking
Need a lower maintenance option? Composite boards mix recycled wood fibers and polymers.
This creates a stable, color-consistent surface. Best of all, it needs no sanding, staining, or painting. Quality composite decking resists fading, moisture, splintering, and termites. This makes lifecycle costs easy to predict. It is a strong choice where minimal upkeep, slip resistance and contemporary colour palettes are priorities.
