PVC decking is a 100% synthetic product with exceptional durability. Since PVC decking doesn't contain any wood it doesn't absorb moisture, so it never needs sanding, staining, or painting. PVC is one of the most expensive decking options, but the long life and very low maintenance requirements can make it the most economical decision in the long run.
PVC is an ideal decking product for waterfront locations, regions with high humidity or long-term wet weather seasons, such as the Lower Mainland, BC.
The PVC deck is barefoot-friendly. So, if you like to walk barefoot on hot summer days, choose PVC decking, which is up to 30° cooler than composite decking.
