TimberTech vs Wood: There's No Competition
Unlike traditional wood, TimberTech decking resists moisture, mold, and insect damage—so it won’t splinter, crack, or stain. It’s easy to clean and backed by a fade- and stain-resistance warranty. With up to 85% recycled content, TimberTech delivers long-term performance and sustainability. Wood, on the other hand, is prone to sun damage, mildew, and warping—and contributes to deforestation.

*Although TimberTech Advanced PVC decking is cooler to the touch than many other deck board products, all decking products will get hot in the sun. Additionally, the darker the decking color, the hotter it will feel. For hotter climates, consider choosing a lighter color.
