What You Need to Know About TimberTech

What is TimberTech?

TimberTech products are a relatively new line of composite outdoor construction materials that are durable, sustainable, and cost-effective.

There are two general categories of decking made by this company - composite and PVC. You can compare them using this graph provided on TimberTech's website.

PVC decking provides better fire resistance and slip resistance.

How durable is it?

The materials and processes used to create these products result in great protection from the elements. TimberTech decks are safe from mold, mildew, and moisture damage! Their products are also engineered to resist stains, scratches, and fading. You won't have to think about replacing a TimberTech deck for decades to come, especially when you've got builders who are as experienced with the material as we are.

What makes it sustainable?

TimberTech's committment to upcycling materials means that their products are made of 60-85% landfill/ocean/incinerator-bound wood and plastics. Not only is the product Earth-friendly, but the process of creating it is too. According to TimberTech, their production facilities have closed-loop systems that re-use 96% of the water needed for production. They've already diverted 500+ million pounds of waste plastic and wood waste from landfills. TimberTech products are also designed to be fully recyclable at the end of their useful lifecycles.

Is it really cost-effective?

While the initial cost to build with TimberTech products is typically more expensive than wood, there’s no resurfacing or staining needed over the years. These decks last for decades, which means that the long-term savings will continue to grow.

When certified contractors like us install TimberTech's products, you have the added protection of the Limited Replacement Labor Warranty in addition to the industry-leading warranties that are attached to the products themselves. You can read more about all of TimberTech's warranties here.
