Composite Decks

High Style, Low Maintenance Composite Decks​

Timbertech/Azek vs. Competition

Why do we recommend Timbertech/ AZEK decking?

For over 20 years now, Deckadent Designs been focused on building decks, porches and outdoor living spaces all over Kentucky. We have had the opportunity to use almost every type of decking material that has ever existed. We have built hundreds of wood decks, different types of composite, pvc, fiberglass, aluminum, and then capped composite and PVC.

Watching the changes first hand and working with the different materials every day one thing became very clear. The Timbertech/ AZEK line of products preformed better than any other manufacturers’ line of products.

Not only did our customers prefer the nature inspired texture, and the variety of color choices and textures that they offered, but the products performance long term was unrivaled. It was true:

Better Tech. Better Deck.™

Your outdoor living space should combine what matters to you most

Top-of-the-Line Capping Technology

The TimberTech technology advantage starts with their approach to caps. They use proprietary capping technology to create 100% synthetic caps with no wood fillers in their TimberTech AZEK and TimberTech PRO decking lines.

The Performance difference in all AZEK and Timbertech Pro:

Timbertech does not cut corners. The backside, and grooves of the boards are covered which keeps the core protected and the moisture out. The most important part of the “capped composite” is the shell. After years of working with different products that invested more in their marketing budgets than their product line. The Timbertech/Azek advantage became very clear. The competition did not extend the protective shell of their products past the top side. Not only was the back of their boards unsightly and would mold and mildew, but because it also absorbed moisture unevenly it would cause the boards to warp and twist over time. This was most evident in the thinner, and wider fascia boards, that had the back side in direct contact with pressure treated wood.

Timbertech AZEK capped polymer Advantages:

AZEK has unrivaled mold resistance with no wood fillers. The other big advantage is AZEK stays cooler to the touch, up to 30 degrees cooler than competitive composite products. AZEK also saves time and money on installation, because not only is it 30% lighter than the leading competitor, but does not require pre-drilling in order to countersink without surface distortion and cracking. AZEK gives you more traction in both wet and dry conditions with up to 40% better slip resistance than most competitive products. Sophisticated color and texture, shades designed to retain color, no permanent stain damage it’s no wonder AZEK is #1 in Premium Decking with Superior Technology and Design Versatility.

Timbertech/Azek vs Wood

Houses are most people’s biggest investments. It’s important to have all the information to make informed decisions about all the available options and choices.

For years we have built so many decks, porches, and outdoor living spaces that we were able to simplify the cost estimate process by creating spreadsheets that allowed us show all of the different upfront and long term costs of building and owning a deck in detail.

UPFRONT COST:
When you consider all the costs that go into constructing a deck. The total cost of materials, permits, estimated labor, and substructure, only end up to being only 5% more to build a capped composite deck versus a pressure treated wood deck. For 5% more, you get decade’s long warranties and long lasting beauty.

LONG TERM COST:
The long term cost of owning and maintain a deck over ten years is 16% less for capped composite decks vs. pressure treated wood. This is due to the dramatic difference of maintenance over time. Additionally, It is our experience that the average length of deck we tear out in order to replace is 9 years old. The changes in the way the vast majority of pressure treated wood is produced, and treated have led to a product that does NOT perform well long term. It warps, twists, bends, cups, splits, splinters, crack, and delaminates. This is especially true, when used as decking and railing where appearance is most important. For this reason, coupled with the high cost of maintenance, means you would lose 140% of your initial investment over 10 years with pressure treated wood compared to retaining most of the cost of Timbertech/Azek.

Like Timbertech, our core value of always doing the right thing translates into radical transparency. It’s better for you-and better for us-that you have a full picture of what you are purchasing, and all the facts before you make a decision.

While some folks choose to save money upfront, we know that the vast majority of homeowners want to do the right thing for their home, the environment, and their wallet- and that means looking at the long-term costs, durability, performance, and beauty.

Sustainability Is at TIMBERTECH’S Core

When we say we’re sustainable to the core, that’s exactly what we mean. Up to 100% of the wood and plastic in the cores of our capped composite deck boards is made from recycled materials, making the entire board comprised of up to 80% recycled content. And because we focus on doing the right thing, it’s important to us that the quality and integrity of the cap and core aren’t compromised in the process. The same goes for our capped polymer boards — which are made with over 50% recycled materials.

And we’re not stopping there. At TimberTech, we’re committed to doing whatever it takes to up our eco-friendly game — like investing in a state-of-the-art recycling plant, increasing the amount of recycled content in each decking line, repurposing the scraps from our board-making process back into production, and deliberately sourcing hard-to-recycle materials that would traditionally end up in landfills.

 

Our Sustainable Deck Materials by the Numbers

  • Homeowners choosing TimberTech® decking over wood have helped save over 3 million trees since 2001.
  • Across the company, we diverted roughly 400 million pounds of waste and scrap from landfills in 2020. We also re-use approximately 99% of the internal scrap generated.
  • Thanks to our closed-loop water filtration systems, we recycle up to 97% of the water that our largest facilities use each year.


Garbage to Gorgeous

In 2019, The AZEK Company unveiled our 100,000-plus square-foot, cutting-edge polyethylene recycling facility in Wilmington, Ohio. This eco-friendly space is dedicated to turning recycled materials into gorgeous, long-lasting, and low-maintenance outdoor living products.

We’ve started producing products that contain a majority of recycled material and have invested in expanding our recycling capabilities to other polymer material types, including PVC. And, as part of our commitment to go green-er, we’re striving to incorporate more hard-to-recycle materials into our decking lines, starting with our capped polymer decking in the TimberTech® AZEK® line. This update in our capped polymer decking will allow us to continue to innovate when it comes to sustainability.


Bringing Sustainable Deck Materials to Life

We have eight manufacturing and recycling facilities across the United States that account for over 1.9 million square feet of incredibly sustainable production.


Technology

Like most of the things we do, it starts with leading technology.

We incorporated advanced technologies from Europe, the leader in sustainability and recycling, into our manufacturing processes for peak efficiency. This innovation allows us to turn recycled waste into raw materials that we can then mold into beautiful composite decking, porch, and railing products.

Our Wilmington recycling facility also leverages energy-efficient systems for power, water, heating/cooling, and lighting, which makes it even more sustainable. On top of that, we use unique closed-loop water filtration systems across our largest facilities, allowing us to recycle and reuse hundreds of gallons of water each day.
