This is perhaps the biggest question clients have.
The short answer is that composite options are more durable and costly. Wood is more economical.
While this is generally true, a more informed answer is that it depends on the range of composite decking or species of wood. Some composite brands are cheap but lack longevity. While some hardwoods, such as Yellow Balau or Iroko, have a comparable lifespan and cost to many composite brands.
For those who prefer real wood, Millboard’s composite decking range has been designed to mimic the texture and woodgrain aesthetic, without the upkeep which is sometimes needed. Explore our blog for a deep dive on this question. If in doubt, contact our deck builders for more information.
