I am sitting here on this very cold Canadian winter day (-26c) thinking about some of the different projects I have worked on over the past 25 years. I started Your Deck Company back in 1986, long before anything other that Cedar and Pressure Treated lumber were used to build a deck. I have seen a great evolution of decking products over the years. The other day I met with a good friend of mine. We were looking at all of the new samples of decking and railing that have been coming into my shop the last few weeks. It truly is amazing the amount of choice there is today.
One of the products that I really do enjoy working with is TimberTech. I like the fit and finish of the product line as well as the comprehensive choice of materials. Below you will find a little information on almost all of the TimberTech line that is available today. I have had the pleasure of touring the different manufacturing facilities of TimberTech in Ohio. The tours gave me a great insight into what really goes into creating products like these. It really is fascinating. As a side note I have also toured lumber mills and the difference really is dramatic.

TimberTech Decking
There are 3 dominant categories for decking. Traditional Wood Plastic Composite (WPC), PVC and Capped Composite (wood/plastic composite with a protective poly shell). Both Capped Composite and WPC decking have a high recycled content. PVC decking generally has no recycled content. Traditional WPC decking will require more periodic cleaning using a deck wash product. However PVC and capped composite products have a higher protection level due to the cap shell technology. Cleaning is generally with household soap and water.
