Wooden Decking Market Trends

Wooden Decking Market Trends

Environmental concerns are driving a preference for sustainable wood sources like FSC-certified wood or composite decking made from recycled materials. For instance, Weyerhaeuser is a major lumber supplier that actively promotes sustainable forestry practices and offers FSC-certified decking options, similar to GreenForest Lumber, SilvaWood International, etc.
 

Furthermore, consumers are increasingly seeking low-maintenance decking materials that require less staining, sealing, and cleaning. This is leading to the popularity of composite decking and pre-finished wood options. For instance, companies like Wolf Decks specializes in pre-finished cedar decking that requires minimal ongoing maintenance compared to traditional untreated cedar.
