Deck flooring refers to the surface material used to construct outdoor decks. It plays a crucial role in aesthetics, durability, and functionality. Here are some key aspects:

Types of Deck Flooring

  1. Wood Decking

    • Hardwood (Teak, Ipe, Mahogany): Highly durable, weather-resistant, and luxurious.
    • Softwood (Cedar, Redwood, Pine): More affordable, needs regular maintenance and sealing.
  2. Composite Decking

    • Made from a mix of wood fibers and plastic.
    • Resistant to rot, insects, and fading.
    • Low maintenance, available in various colors and textures.
  3. PVC & Vinyl Decking

    • 100% synthetic, waterproof, and highly durable.
    • Resistant to mold, mildew, and stains.
    • Less natural-looking than wood.
  4. Aluminum Decking

    • Strong, rustproof, and slip-resistant.
    • Ideal for extreme weather conditions.
    • Can be costly but lasts for decades.
  5. Concrete & Tile Decking

    • Concrete is highly durable and customizable with stamping or staining.
    • Outdoor tiles (porcelain, stone, or rubber) offer unique aesthetics.
