For those customers who prefer the look of wood or perhaps favor
its affordability, we offer quality pressure treated Madison lumber.
Jones Woodcrafterst is willing to construct your deck using the
pressure treated southern yellow pine, cedar, mahogany, or ipe. Our
pine wood is offered in C-select and #1 select grades. #1 select wood
has less notches than #2 grade wood, but C-select is of the highest
quality. Cedar wood not only looks beautiful, it also resists the
splintering, cupping, twisting, and checking that you may experience
with pine. Cedar, as a softer wood, is recommended for areas with
less "traffic". Ipe is a tropical hardwood. It is a premium material
that will last for a long time. This wood is very dense and resists
rot, cupping, splintering, twisting, and checking. If you have
another type of wood in mind, contact us, and we can tell you more.
Vinyl
While vinyl may cost a little more, it offers extra benefits.
Vinyl allows you to walk barefoot without any concern, as it is cool
to the touch. Also, owners of vinyl need not worry about maintenance
as much as with wood, since vinyl can be as easy to clean as spraying
a hose. Vinyl is free of splinters, is slip-resistant, and is
considered a safer alternative to pressure treated lumber, which many
question regarding health concerns.
Composites
Jones Woodcrafters offers a excellent selection of composite
material to choose from. Composite material is cheaper than vinyl but
offers similar benefits. Composites represent a blend of wood fiber
and plastic, with plastic contents of 30 to 50%. They are growing in
popularity since they also avoid the problems associated with
pressure-treated lumber and require no maintenance. Trex is free of
splinters, toxic chemicals, and preservatives. Also, it absorbs very
little water, which enables it to handle the weather quite well.
Insects, such as termites, do not take the toll on your deck that
they otherwise could if you were using wood. Trex has excellent
traction and is available in four different colors.
