Deck Maintenance Little Rock Comparing Types of Wood for Building Decks

All wood surfaces need to be protected from the harsh exterior elements, especially intense sun and heavy rain

[ClickPress, Mon Aug 09 2010] Wood Re New Deck maintenance technicians are known for their concern with protecting the environment while preserving exterior wood investments. Durability and weathering vary depending on the different types of wood used to build a new deck. According to Jack Bowen, owner of Wood Re New, professional deck maintenance is recommended for all wood types.
During a recent interview, Jack Bowen compared 5 common types of wood, explaining the advantages and disadvantages of each. “Pressure treated pine is typically the least expensive,” said Bowen. “Cedar can cost twice as much as pressure treated pine, followed by redwood, ipe and mahogany. Cost and availability vary depending on your geographical location”
According to Bowen, appearance when new and weathered can vary among the different types of wood. Colors and wood density vary between soft, absorbent pine to very dense mahogany.
“One of the most important things to be aware of is durability,” said Bowen. “The expected life span of your wood deck varies depending on several weather related factors, including intensity of the sun, water exposure, ice and snow. Colors hold up better if wood is shaded; however, be aware that leaves from trees can cause staining.”
Regardless of which type of wood is chosen, professional deck maintenance is recommended to preserve and protect the investment. Wood Re New’s proprietary cleaner is specifically designed to clean wood fibers, remove mold and mildew, and rinse away with low pressure to avoid damage to the wood. Wood Re New’s highly effective products do not contain any strong chemicals, bleaches or acids that can harm surrounding plants, pets or children.
