Decking

What Is Decking?

When it comes to real estate, few home improvements offer as much return on investment as decking. A well-designed, properly constructed deck can increase the value of your home significantly. According to various studies, homeowners can expect to recoup a substantial percentage of the cost of building a deck when they sell their home.

A deck enhances a property’s appeal by expanding the usable living space, making the home more attractive to prospective buyers. Outdoor living spaces are particularly appealing in areas with mild climates or where outdoor entertainment is a common lifestyle activity. In fact, many homebuyers actively look for homes with decks as an added bonus.

Decking refers to the materials and boards used to create a decked area, usually outdoors. The term can apply to both the structure and the surface of the deck itself. Decking boards are typically made from wood or composite materials, each offering its own unique benefits.

• Timber Decking: Traditional wood decking made from pressure-treated timber or hardwood.
• Composite Decking: A modern alternative made from a mix of wood fibres and plastic, offering enhanced durability and low maintenance.
