Composite porch flooring recs?

Posted by bostonhome (My Page) on

I need to replace my porch flooring once the weather gets warmer. I'm looking for tongue and groove planks made of a composite material for low maintenance. Azek only comes in two colors and I'm not crazy about the fake wood texture. Aeratis was a promising product...really authentic looking, but had quality-control issues. I'm now thinking of CorrectPorch. Has anyone installed this? Are there other brands that I should consider? Would a narrow plank for decking be another option?

RE: Composite porch flooring recs?

FWIW I'm a big fan of composites for decking. Maybe I don't have an aversion because a deck isn't really integral to the house envelope. A porch floor is integral and I would feel it would be out of place. My front porch is T&G wood that has some rot issues, would love the durability of non-wood, but I can't bring myself to go with synthetics. Just my opinion, and you know what they say about those. It's funny because my siding is fiber-cement (but you can't see the diff).

I went to the Home Builders Show in Las Vegas last week and saw a company called Gossen. I believe I saw the narrower porch planks, but can't remember if it was tongue and groove or not. Try this link:

We used Timbertech the earthwood series in teak, and it is gorgeous. i have zero complaints about it and it still looks fantastic after 3 years of use. (a simple powerwashing will do if it is in the shade and gets a little green) We have teak wood floors in the house and when you open up the sliding patio doors your eye just follows it right out, almost seamless like it's all connected.
