Decking Timber Alternatives for the Next-Generation – 2021

Wood is of the most suited and ‘go-with’ material when it comes to decking but as we all know it comes with a cost of environmental imbalance, high maintenance and structural limitations. Next-generation construction experts are promoting eco-friendly and sustainable decking options over the traditional timber decking.

#1 Bamboo

Bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the world. Strong, durable, sustainable, beautiful and low maintenance decking timber alternative for 2021.

#2 Cork

A preferred boat decking option which is now also available for homes! It is made with bark in contrast to the heart of tree. This means it re-grows quicker and can be more sustainable in some ways than many conventional hardwood products. It’s a popular flooring material and can be growing into other areas of construction and remodeling.

#3 Wood Composite

Wood composite comes with very low maintenance cost, a very long life length, relative simplicity of setup and it’s on top in terms of eco-friendliness as it’s made of non-recyclable and other wastes and wood. It’s surely not so pocket-friendly but is the best option when it comes to timber decking alternatives.
