With the help of this guide, you will understand the benefits of wood decking that lasts a lot longer versus balcony timber decking . You will learn how each material ages, their costs over time, and which one suits modern interior design better.

Composite wood decking is very good at retaining its original color. Protection from UV keeps the fading at a minimum.
Timber fades without being regularly treated. When the wear-off of the finishing parts is the cause of the change in color, the color change looks patchy.
One of the major points towards which the balance is tilting is the fact that long-term composite wood decking is mostly made with recycled material, and the deck is a very long-living one, so waste is minimal.
Balcony decking is still the most polluting of the two, as it needs to be replaced much sooner, which in turn greatly increases the consumption of the materials even if the timber comes from controlled sources.
When it comes to long-term projects, composite wood is the one that supports less material turnover.
