How long do PVC deck boards last compared to wood?

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) deck boards offer significant advantages over wood:

• Lifespan: 25-30+ years vs. 10-15 years for pressure-treated wood
• Maintenance: No staining, sealing, or sanding required — just occasional soap and water cleaning
• Rot resistance: Won't rot, warp, or splinter — ideal for Canadian freeze-thaw cycles
• Fade resistance: UV-stabilized formulas maintain color for decades
• Insect proof: No termite or carpenter ant damage

The higher upfront cost of PVC is offset by zero maintenance costs over the life of the deck. IPATIO PRO PVC deck boards are designed specifically for Canadian climates.
