Built For Wet Weather
Why choose composite decking?
Composite decking has become one of the most popular outdoor building materials in Greater Vancouver because it is durable, low maintenance, and performs well in wet weather conditions.
Unlike traditional wood decks, composite decking is designed to resist moisture, rotting, warping, splintering, and insect damage. Many homeowners choose it for a cleaner, longer lasting finish with less upkeep over time.

Best Fit
When we recommend composite decking
Composite decking is a strong fit when the project needs a finished outdoor surface that stays stable, looks modern, and does not depend on constant sanding, staining, or sealing.

- Rooftop decks and patios

Composite vs Wood
Higher upfront cost, lower long-term maintenance.
Traditional wood decks can offer a natural look and lower initial material cost, but they usually require sanding, staining, sealing, and ongoing protection from Vancouver's wet climate. Composite decking often costs more upfront, but many homeowners save time and maintenance over the life of the deck.
