Studies have shown that real wood products can have a calming, soothing effect. This is just one of the many reasons why wood decking remains the number-one choice for most American homeowners. The luster, robust color palettes, durability, longevity and wide diversity of exotic species combined with the great outdoors often provide the perfect ambiance for escaping busy, hectic lives.
And there’s more. If treated properly, high-end hardwoods used for anything from furniture to rainscreen siding can last for decades and possibly even centuries. This is even true for the hardwood decks that are constantly bombarded by extreme temperatures and even the most severe weather conditions.
