 Material Options

 There are many different styles to choose from when considering your new screened porch. For the flooring you have various types of composite products, pressure treated products, PVC products and exotic products. Let's lake a look at each one and their individual pros and cons:

Composite Products:

These consist of Trex,  Rhino Deck, and Veranda decking to name a few of the top producers. Most all composite products are made from the same basic formula. They come in a variety of colors and do not need painted or stained although many of the composite products are completely compatible with paint and stains. Excluding the occasional cleaning, most composite products are completely maintenance free.

The main disadvantage of composite decking is that the color does not go all the way through the product. It is similar but still different. This means that scratches and other damage shows up much better and there really is no way to repair without replacing. One other disadvantage to composite is that it is not 100% rot free. Several producers still use recycled wood products in their formulas. These products will still outlast pressure treated wood by many years and are still considered an excellent choice for exterior products.

PVC Products:

 Many companies that once specialized in composite products only are now producing PVC products. PVC is by far and large the best product for any deck or screened porch. Of course, its price reflects that as well. Here are some of the advantages of PVC decking:

PVC decking does not warp, twist or crack. It does not fade and has no knots or splinters and is insect resistant. It is very comfortable on your feet and is cool to the touch even on hot days.

Disadvantages: Expands and contracts more than wood or composite

 

Pressure Treated Products:

Pressure treated products are the most affordable in terms of upfront costs. However, there are many disadvantages to all pressure treated products:

Wood is full of knots and warps very easy. Cupping, cracking and splitting is very common and will most always happen within the first couple of years. Wood is very uncomfortable on your feet and getting a splinter in your foot is never any fun. The maintenance required to keep a wood deck looking nice can get very costly. In fact, if you add up the upfront costs and maintenance, you could easily pay for a composite deck!!

However, not all budgets can accommodate a composite or PVC deck and must use pressure treated products. With proper maintenance and protection, you can expect a life of 15 to 20 years out of most pressure treated materials.

 Usually whatever product you choose for your flooring sets the tone for the rest of the project. We do make it our goal to blend your new screened porch with your home. The idea is to make it appear that it was all built at the same time.
