Many composite brands feature attractive options, and for good reason\u2014composites can last for decades without ever needing sanding or sealing. TimberTech\u2122 is one of our top picks, offering a wide range of colours and price brackets. Here\u2019s an overview of this innovative composite company.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is TimberTech\u2122 Made Of?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>TimberTech\u2122 composite is made of 85% recycled material, mixing a combination of recycled plastic and wood. The recycled plastic comes from everyday items such as grocery bags and milk jugs. The wood is also recycled, coming from manufacturers as sawdust or shavings. No trees are cut to create TimberTech\u2122.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The boards are protected by a highly resistant polymer coating, which makes the composite resistant to damage caused by humidity, such as mould and fungi.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are the Pros and Cons of TimberTech\u2122?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>TimberTech\u2122 is a high-quality composite that is resistant to humidity and backed by a 30-year warranty against wear and stains. It won\u2019t crack or peel, ever. It\u2019s a great choice if you want a stunning deck with minimal upkeep.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s very little maintenance needed. If you are wondering how to clean TimberTech\u2122, know that a simple sweep a couple of times a week is often enough. For stains or dirt, you can use water with a mild soap. You\u2019ll never have to sand, seal or paint TimberTech\u2122 decking.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another advantage is its versatility. The brand provides three distinct series featuring a total of 13 TimberTech\u2122 colours. In addition to deck boards, they also produce fascia boards and risers. TimberTech\u2122 textures are designed to perfectly mimic the look of natural wood.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the downside, it\u2019s important to know that TimberTech\u2122 is indeed resistant to humidity, but you shouldn\u2019t install it directly on the soil. It\u2019s not the optimal choice for a continuously damp environment and shouldn\u2019t be used underwater.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TimberTech\u2122 composite deck boards can become hot under direct sun, especially the darker colours. However, if your deck isn\u2019t fully facing south has enough shade, TimberTech\u2122 could still be the right choice for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brand is known to be on the pricier side, except for its more affordable line, Edge Prime+\u2122. While most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arga.ca\/en\/products\/composite\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">composites<\/a> are more expensive than wood, TimberTech\u2122 falls on the higher end of the composite price range. However, its exceptional quality and beautiful appearance are worth the investment, especially considering that a TimberTech\u2122 deck can last decades.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is TimberTech\u2122 Available in Canada?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Manufactured in the US, TimberTech\u2122 is indeed available in Canada. Here at Arga, we offer three beautiful lines of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arga.ca\/en\/products\/composite\/timbertech\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TimberTech\u2122 composite<\/a>: Legacy, Reserve and Edge Prime+\u2122. Each features unique colours and textures and is available across various price ranges.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in this brand of composite, don\u2019t hesitate to contact us. We\u2019ll be happy to help you choose the perfect option, considering style, colour, budget, and specific needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Choose the Right TimberTech\u2122 Product for Me&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Is TimberTech\u2122 good? Of course, it is. However, it\u2019s worth noting that they provide three distinct lines, each featuring a variety of colours, textures and price ranges. Here\u2019s an overview of the three options.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Legacy: <\/strong>This is the most expensive line but has a protective coating on all four sides of the board and a wide range of colours: Whitewash Cedar, Mocha, Ashwood, Espresso, Pecan, and Tigerwood. Inspired by nature, this line looks like hand-scraped wood.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reserve: <\/strong>This line\u2019s boards are also protected on four sides and is perfect for those desiring a more rustic look. The colours offered (Reclaimed Chestnut, Driftwood, Dark Roast and Antique Leather) all mimic the charm of weathered or reclaimed wood.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Edge Prime+\u2122:<\/strong> This line is more affordable, with three board sides protected. Available in three beautiful tones (Coconut Husk, Sea Salt Grey and Dark Cocoa), this composite is versatile and complements a variety of design styles while resisting fading and staining.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, your choice may come down to a combination of colour, texture, and price. All three lines offer the same board sizes: 5.36\u202fin x\u202f0.94\u202fin. The lengths are also the same, with a square-shouldered cut in 16 and 20 feet, and the grooved cut in 12, 16 and 20 feet. Legacy and Reserve are guaranteed for 30 years, and Edge Prime+\u2122 has a 25-year warranty.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Beauty of Real Wood Made Easier&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Real wood is soft and beautiful, but it requires a lot of maintenance. That\u2019s why many people turn to composite wood. TimberTech\u2122 composite decking has a finish so close to the real deal that your guests might not even realize it isn\u2019t actual wood.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Table of Contents\u00a0 When creating a new outdoor space in Canada, choosing the best composite decking is key.
