Outdoor Flooring

outdoor flooring

Flooring choices for outdoor living range from hardscaping materials to decking. By far the most popular outdoor flooring that we recommend, build, and install, is composite decking. Many clients initially dream of traditional wood decks but ultimately choose composite wood when they realize its benefits in BC’s climate.

outdoor flooring TIPS & INFO

outdoor considerations

Are you building a patio (platform) or a deck (ground)? Then consider its purpose, which affects design. Other factors include style, budget, environment, upkeep, and local building codes.

decking

Most brands consist of a mixture of natural wood fibers and plastic, and are eco-friendly. A large selection of colours are available, and many accurately mimic the look of wood grain.

composite
pros

Very durable—no warping, rotting, fading, or splintering. No finishing, staining, or regular work needed; only periodic washing to eliminate algae. Long lasting and most brands offer warranties.

composite
cons

More costly than most woods, and doesn’t have the natural warmth of wood. Not resistant to mold or mildew, especially in our wet climate. You cannot paint or stain it in order to change the colour.
