Last updated on November 29, 2018 by Sozo Staff Leave a Comment

Last updated on November 29, 2018 by Sozo Staff Leave a Comment

As much as we love the rich reddish brown color of Ipe and the golden beauty of Teak, the true value of tropical hardwood decking lumber is found in a different kind of color consideration: it’s green. As a society that increasingly understands and appreciates both diversity and environmentally responsible practices like using sustainable, renewable […]

Better Than Composite Decking: The Real Deal, Part 6

Last updated on July 12, 2018 by Sozo Staff Leave a Comment

We’ve said it all along: Composite Decking has a big leg up on its competition, Exotic Hardwood Decking, in that it is far more realistic to color match. At the same time, though, it will become bleached over time, and you won’t have the option of refinishing it or replacing any boards that are subjected […]

Better Than Composite Decking: The Real Deal, Part 5

Last updated on July 12, 2018 by Sozo Staff Leave a Comment

If you’ve had an “out with the old, in with the new” mentality where decking products are concerned, you may want to think again. While Composite Decking products certainly have their benefits (near-perfect color matching, for instance) it’s definitely not the ideal product which some manufacturers would have you believe. In fact, like anything new, […]

Better Than Composite Decking: The Real Deal, Part 4

Last updated on July 12, 2018 by Sozo Staff Leave a Comment

We started out with Composite Decking in the lead; when it comes to color-matching, manufactured products definitely have a leg up on the competition.

Better Than Composite Decking: The Real Deal, Part 3

Last updated on July 12, 2018 by Sozo Staff Leave a Comment

When it comes to color-matching, Composite Decking wins. However, when we look at arguably more significant issues such as hardness, fire ratings, heat, and slip resistance, Exotic Hardwoods come out on top. So far, we’re looking at Composite Decking with a score of 1 versus Exotic Hardwood Decking with a score of 4. Let’s explore […]

Better Than Composite Decking: The Real Deal, Part 2

Last updated on July 12, 2018 by Sozo Staff Leave a Comment

When it comes to comparing Composite Decking products with real Exotic Hardwood Decking, it may seem like Composite Decking must be the better choice simply because it’s newer. Well, just like there’s a definite distinction between worthless and priceless, there’s an important distinction between trendy and timeless. Of course, we argue that real, natural lumber […]

Better Than Composite Decking: The Real Deal, Part 1

Last updated on July 12, 2018 by Sozo Staff Leave a Comment

You’ve probably heard all about the benefits of Composite Decking. Well, if you’ve been around for any amount of time at all, you know that there are always two sides to every story.
