Exotic wood or composite flooring: Which One Should You Choose to Create Your Terrace?

An essential element to enhance outdoor spaces, terraces help create welcoming and comfortable living areas.
Available in decking boards or tiles, they are synonymous with durability and longevity. While seamlessly blending into the existing environment, installing a terrace in exotic wood or composite wood is easy and adapts to all surfaces. Flooring made from these noble materials adds real value to your property and transforms your outdoor space into a genuine living area.
Exotic Wood
Exotic wood is a natural material that is both warm, aesthetic, and eco-friendly. It is durable over time and requires little maintenance. It is a living product that evolves over time: under the effect of ultraviolet rays, decking boards or tiles will take on a silver-gray hue. This change does not affect the durability of your installation.
Composite Wood
Composite wood is made up of wood fibers and polymer (PVC, Polypropylene). Composite wood boards offer many advantages. They provide good value for money, offering a wide variety of colors and textures, wear resistance, and colorfastness. They are also environmentally friendly. Rot-proof, composite boards are highly resistant to scratches and extreme weather conditions. Their maintenance is also easy, requiring only water for cleaning.
Both exotic wood and composite wood terraces have very low thermal conductivity, ensuring a comfortable temperature to the touch. Depending on your needs, these two options can perfectly adapt to all types of terraces: a terrace adjacent to a house, a poolside terrace, or even a rooftop terrace.
