Keep reading to learn about the different composite decking options available to you, and how to commission building services for your dream deck.
For years, natural hardwood decking was the way to go – but composite decking has boomed in popularity in recent years because it delivers all the beauty of wood with none of the drawbacks. Let’s compare:
At Delta Decks we only use industry-leading materials from the world’s top composite decking brands, including Fiberon, TimberTech and Trex. These companies offer tried-and-tested products famous for their durability, available in multiple collections and dozens of natural colours, and protected by decades-long warranties.
When researching to build your composite deck, you will encounter different companies, collections and board types. They generally fall into the following categories:
Super cheap, unknown foreign brands: these products can sometimes be found for $4/sq. ft. at major retail stores. However, they have no warranty and tend to discolour, peel and crack – you get what you pay for.
Entry-level products from major North American brands: every major brand has an entry-level composite decking collection (for example Trex Enhance, Fiberon Goodlife and TimberTech Edge). Boards are usually available in 2-3 solid colours, have a scalloped underside, and cost around $6-7/sq. ft. Of the three major brands, Fiberon is the clear entry-level leader as they use the same quality capping material as in their premium ranges and remove very little material for the scalloping in comparison to TimberTech and Trex.
Premium entry-level products: the colours used for these decking boards are multi-tonal rather than solid, delivering that natural wood aesthetic. Quality-wise, the boards are the same as entry-level and Fiberon remains the leader. You can expect to pay about $7-8 sq. ft. for products in this category.
Mid-range composite decking: such boards have a solid profile (not scalloped), a wider array of colours, and are wrapped on three sides with plastic capping. Trex, Fiberon and TimberTech offer good choices in this category, and we recommend opting for newer product lines which are trendier in appearance and utilise the latest advances in technology. Expect to pay between $10-12 per sq. ft.
Top-of-the-range composite decking: these composite decking boards have a protective cap on all sides, providing the most attractive look and the best scratch and moisture resistance. Only Fiberon and TimberTech offer products in this category, which cost around $12-14/sq. ft.

Ipe is a hardwood species that grows in Central and South America (it is also known as Brazilian Walnut). Thanks to its density, durability, moisture resistance and beauty, Ipe is the undoubted leader of all wood decking materials – and the industry standard that all other lumber decking is compared to.
As we said, each composite brand is made of its own special blend of materials – some better than others. In Delta Decks’ years in business we have seen many ‘new and improved’ composite brands try and fail in just a couple of years, when they can’t match their competitors for quality and people stop buying their products. We would recommend Trex – an industry leader in composite decking for more than 20 years. Trex offers the most reliable composite decking on the market, continually bringing out new products made with the latest technology and built on their decades’-long foundation of experience.
No. A plastic deck – otherwise known as a PVC deck – is made of 100% plastic. Composite decks are a blend of wood and plastic.
It is possible to do this, as long as your decking frame was properly constructed and remains in good condition. Contact us for a free quote to replace your old decking.
Thanks to their technology, most composite decks don’t need the protective finishing that wood decking does. However, we still recommend that you wash your composite deck with soap and water every 1-2 years to avoid damage from the elements.

Delta Decks did a beautiful job on our backyard deck and patio. Our old deck was in dire need of a rebuild and refresh. Elgi was great in getting the project started and Dimitri and his team were amazing to work with throughout the project. They were extremely customer focused and detail oriented, even suggesting improvements that we had not considered. I would highly recommend this company.

Delta Decks replaced my very worn old wood deck with a mineral based/pvc ‘Deckorators’ product, color ‘Costa’. Finding a taupe color was a challenge but this came close to the rest of the wood decks I still have and I did not like the grays of most other products. They did an excellent job.

I am very satisfied with the improvements that Delta Decks made to my 12 year old deck. From my first contact with Elgi, the project manager ,to the final clean up of the jobsite I could not ask for better treatment. All my pre job questions were thoroughly answered and the advice given improved the final look of my deck. The 3 man job crew was terrific. Each of them was very professional and very conscientious. They made me feel that they wanted me to be very satisfied with their work. They answered any questions I had and they did a very good job of cleaning up before they left. A job well done.

This review has been a long time coming. We had Elgi and team come in on September 2021 and after some talks about designs and materials we ended up going with a Fiberon deck. His crew was polite, neat and worked very quickly. The deck looks beautiful and the lighting on the stairs really compliments the design. Thanks so much Elgi & team, It was a pleasure working with you!
