Plastic deckig? TimberTeck & Azek...
H and I are trying to decide on decking options for our new construction.
Has anyone used any form of plastic decking? How do you like it? Would you do anything differently?
A major concern I have is that plastic decking is mostly made out of unknown recycled materials, and PVC. I'm concerned from a health standpoint, that they may not be the safest materials to use for our home. Anyone have any thoughts/experience?
Re: Plastic deckig? TimberTeck & Azek...
From friends who have it the biggest concerns ? where:
--Some are very slippery when wet
--The warranties vary greatly, this is an important detail as some fade quickly
--Fire rating (if that is the correct term). Although I think this has improved greatly over years. Friends of our had a major house fire because a grill ember caused the deck to catch on fire and it spread REALLY fast. (the grill was on the deck)
I think over the long term is is worth the $$$ for the low maint. We went with a stamped concrete patio. But, if we were in a sit. where we had to put on a deck we would go engineered or composite.
Great thanks for the reply!
I'll compare the two companies warranties, and fire ratings (we will most likely be grilling on our deck too)
I agree that this is a more cost effective option, but I am really concerned about the potention toxic effects from all the plastic !
