Vinyl Decking: The No-Stress Champion
Let’s start with vinyl decking—it’s the MVP when it comes to waterproofing. Why? Because vinyl is basically a superhero in disguise. It’s seamless, watertight, and keeps your deck completely protected from water damage. Plus, it’s ridiculously low maintenance. Forget sanding or staining.
Another bonus? Vinyl comes in tons of colors and styles, so you’re not stuck with a boring look. Whether you want something sleek and modern or a natural wood vibe, vinyl has your back. It’s like the sweatpants of decking—comfortable, reliable, and somehow still stylish.
Composite Decking: A Little Bit of Everything
Composite decking is like that friend who does it all. It’s made from a mix of wood fibers and recycled plastic, which gives it the best of both worlds: the look of wood without the hassle of constant upkeep.
Now, here’s the deal: while composite isn’t technically waterproof, it’s highly resistant to water. It won’t warp, rot, or get moldy after a rainstorm. That’s a huge win in my book. And if you’re all about being eco-friendly, composite decking is a solid choice since it uses recycled materials.
We actually wrote a whole blog about this exciting material, so check that out if you want the nitty-gritty details. Spoiler alert: we’re big fans.

Treated Wood with Waterproof Sealant: The Classic Choice
Let’s talk wood. If you love the timeless look of a natural wood deck, you’re not alone. Treated wood with a waterproof sealant is the way to go for those who want that classic aesthetic.
Treated wood is infused with chemicals to resist rot and decay. When you add a waterproof sealant, it becomes even tougher. The key here is maintenance. You’ll need to reapply the sealant every so often to keep your deck looking its best.
Wood decks do require a little more TLC, but the payoff is worth it if you’re after that warm, traditional feel.
How to Choose the Right Material
Okay, so we’ve covered the main players. Now, how do you pick the one that’s right for you? Here are a few things to consider:
- Your Climate: Live somewhere rainy or humid? Go for vinyl or Azek Timbertech.
- Maintenance: If you hate upkeep, vinyl or composite is your friend.
- Budget: Treated wood is usually the most affordable option upfront.
- Style: Want a deck that’s custom and high-end? Azek Timbertech wins.
No matter which option you choose, the goal is the same: a deck that’s beautiful, functional, and built to last.
