SMARTER DECK CHOICES

The Benefits of KDAT Wood Decking 


Kiln Dried After Treatment (KDAT) wood offers numerous advantages for homeowners looking for a high-quality, long-lasting decking material. KDAT materials combine the best of both worlds—the installation ease of composite materials with the timeless beauty and character of natural wood.

KDAT wood is dried to its original moisture content in a controlled environment, ensuring even drying. This process minimizes the natural tendency of freshly treated lumber to shrink, cup, or warp, resulting in a more stable and reliable deck surface. The end result is a high-quality, durable material that is perfect for creating a stunning, unforgettable backyard.


Why Choose KDAT Wood Decking?

At Penn Decks, we are proud to install top-quality wood decking products that rival plastic composites in terms of both beauty and long-term durability. Our KDAT wood decking provides:

  • Natural Aesthetic: The unique grain and color variations of natural wood bring warmth and character to your deck, creating a beautiful outdoor living space.
  • Enhanced Stability: Unlike composites KDAT wood has structural strength and is less prone to warping, shrinking, and cupping, ensuring your deck remains structurally sound and visually appealing for years.
  • Long-Lasting Comfort: With proper maintenance, KDAT wood provides lasting comfort and beauty, rivaling the performance of plastic composites but with the authenticity of real wood.
  • Cooler than Plastic Composites:  Wood decking can be cooler than surrounding temperatures.
  • Half the price than Composite decking
  • Hidden fasteners are available for wood deck installations for a clean look.
  • We offer affordable maintenance programs for all new wood decks.


 

Hidden Fasteners for a Clean, Seamless Wood Deck Installation

For a sleek and polished appearance, hidden fasteners are an excellent choice for wood deck installations. These fasteners are designed to secure deck boards without visible screws or nails on the surface, resulting in a smooth, uninterrupted deck surface.

Benefits of Hidden Fasteners:

  • Improved Aesthetic: With no visible screws or nails, your deck will have a clean, modern look that highlights the natural beauty of the wood.
  • Enhanced Durability: Hidden fasteners are typically designed to create a more stable connection between deck boards, reducing the likelihood of gaps, warping, or loosening over time.
  • Safety: Without exposed fasteners, the risk of snagging or injury from sharp edges is minimized, creating a safer environment for both barefoot enjoyment and outdoor activities.
  • Longer Deck Life: By eliminating the direct exposure of fasteners to the elements, hidden fasteners can help reduce rust and corrosion, ensuring your deck lasts longer.


If you're looking for a wood decking option that combines natural beauty with stability and durability, KDAT wood is an excellent choice for your outdoor project.



Premium Stain & Seal Options for Lasting Protection

For Those That Care about the environment

Wood Decks Are Still The Best Choice

IS WOOD DECKING STILL OUR ECO-BEST FRIEND?

 

Yes, Southern Pine wood is generally considered a more renewable option compared to many other types of wood, but it depends on several factors.


Reasons why Southern Pine is considered renewable:

  1. Fast Growth Rate: Southern Pine trees grow quickly, which makes them a more sustainable choice when harvested responsibly. This rapid growth cycle allows for a more frequent harvest compared to slower-growing hardwoods like oak or maple.
  2. Well-Managed Forests: Much of Southern Pine comes from sustainably managed forests, where replanting is prioritized, and harvesting is done in a way that allows for regrowth and minimal environmental impact. The U.S. South, where Southern Pine is predominantly grown, has strong reforestation programs, making it one of the most sustainably managed regions for timber production.
  3. Certified Sustainable Practices: Many Southern Pine forests are certified by organizations like the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), which sets standards for responsible forestry practices that ensure the land is managed for long-term health and biodiversity.

Comparisons to Other Woods:

  • Hardwoods (like Oak or Maple): Hardwoods generally take longer to grow to maturity, meaning their renewable cycle is longer. This can make them less sustainable when compared to fast-growing softwoods like Southern Pine.
  • Other Softwoods (like Douglas Fir or Spruce): While other softwoods can also grow quickly, Southern Pine is often considered one of the most readily available and efficiently managed softwoods in the U.S.


Conclusion:

Southern Pine wood can be more renewable than slower-growing hardwoods, and it can be as renewable or even more sustainable than other softwoods, especially when sourced from sustainably managed forests. However, the environmental impact of any wood product depends on the sourcing and forest management practices in place, so always look for certification labels to ensure you’re getting responsibly harvested wood.

Premium Pressure Treated

KDAT Pressure-Treated Wood: Strength and Stability You Can Trust

 At Penn Decks, we use premium KDAT pressure-treated wood sourced from specialty suppliers, ensuring top-tier quality for every deck we build. Whether you’re looking for classic charm or modern design, KDAT wood provides the performance and longevity your outdoor space deserves.

ELEVATE YOUR OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE WITH a Premium Wood deck

Pressure Treated: Durable KDAT Wood for Lasting Performance

Wood that is KDAT, or Kiln Dried After Treatment, provides many advantages. YellaWood® brand KDAT materials give you the installation characteristics of composite with the natural beauty and character of real wood. Dried to its original moisture content in a controlled environment, the wood dries evenly to minimize the natural tendency of freshly treated lumber to shrink, cup or warp. This high-quality lumber is the top choice for a stunning, unforgettable backyard. 

 At half the price of composite materials and with a lifespan that often exceeds theirs, it's no wonder that wood deck floorboards were originally designed specifically for decks. 

Cedar Wood Decks: Natural Beauty and Lasting Durability

 Cedar wood decks are a perfect choice for homeowners seeking a combination of natural beauty, strength, and durability. Known for its rich color, aromatic scent, and resistance to rot, cedar wood provides a timeless look that enhances any outdoor space. Cedar’s natural oils make it resistant to insects and decay, ensuring your deck stands strong for years to come. Whether you're building a classic or contemporary design, cedar offers versatility that suits a variety of styles. At Penn Decks, we expertly craft and install cedar decks, ensuring each one is built to withstand the elements while maintaining its stunning appearance. 

Wood Decks: The Timeless Choice

Why Choose Wood Decks Over Composite Decks?

 

Wood decks offer several advantages over composite decks, making them the more eco-friendly and durable choice for your outdoor space:

  1. Eco-Friendly Materials
    Wood decks are made from natural and renewable resources, reducing the environmental impact compared to composite decks, which often include plastics and non-biodegradable materials. By choosing wood, you support sustainable practices and a smaller carbon footprint.
  2. Longevity
    With scheduled recurring maintenance every 2-3 years, wood decks can outlast composite decks. While composite materials may fade, warp, or flake over time, wood’s timeless appeal and structural integrity can be preserved for decades, offering long-lasting beauty and strength with proper care. 
  3. Natural Beauty
    Nothing compares to the authentic charm of real wood. Its rich textures, grains, and tones create a warm, inviting outdoor space that composite decks simply can’t replicate.
  4. Repairability
    Unlike composite decks, which can be difficult to repair, wood decks allow for easy replacement of individual boards or components, saving you time and money in the long run.

Not All Wood Decking is created equal

What to Avoid When Getting a Wood Floor Deck Installed

 When investing in a wood deck, it’s important to make informed decisions to ensure long-term durability and value. Never use off-the-shelf pressure-treated wood from big-box stores and expecting it to last as long as premium wood deck boards sourced from specialty decking suppliers.

While box store decking may save you around $5 per board, the lower quality knotty materials often lack the durability and structural integrity needed for long-term performance. Over time, this can lead to warping, cracking, and premature failure, costing you more in repairs and replacements.

For a true long-term investment, choose premium-grade materials designed to withstand the elements and provide lasting beauty. At Penn Decks, we source high-quality wood from trusted specialty suppliers to ensure your deck not only looks great but also stands the test of time.
