TimberTech Product Lines
TimberTech Composite
The standard TimberTech composite lines include PRO, EDGE, and Legacy collections. These boards are made from a blend of recycled wood fibers and polymer, producing a durable, low-maintenance surface that resists fading, staining, and scratching. The textures are among the most realistic in the composite market, with deep woodgrain patterns that feel substantial underfoot. Most TimberTech composite products carry a 30-year structural warranty and 25-year fade-and-stain coverage.
The PRO collection offers the widest range of board widths, including wider planks that reduce the number of seams on the deck surface. Wider boards create a cleaner, more modern look and can make smaller decks feel more spacious. The EDGE collection provides solid performance at a moderate price point. The Legacy collection is TimberTech’s entry-level composite line, offering core composite durability at the most accessible price in the TimberTech range.
AZEK PVC Decking
AZEK is the premium tier of the TimberTech family. Unlike wood-composite boards, AZEK is made from 100% PVC with zero wood content. This means it absorbs virtually no moisture, making it the strongest choice for pool decks, waterfront properties, covered patios, and any area where consistent moisture exposure is a concern. AZEK boards resist mold, mildew, and staining more effectively than any composite product on the market. The trade-off is a higher price point, but in specific applications, the moisture resistance justifies the premium. AZEK also stays cooler underfoot than standard composite in direct sun, which matters for barefoot traffic areas. It is a particularly strong match for pool deck installations where wet conditions are constant.
TimberTech in Austin's Climate
Both TimberTech composite and AZEK PVC are engineered for high-heat, high-UV environments. The boards contain UV inhibitors and pigment technology that resists fading under Austin’s intense sun. TimberTech boards do not absorb moisture the way wood does, eliminating the warping and cupping cycle that damages cedar and pressure-treated decks in this region. Austin homeowners who choose TimberTech can expect their deck to look consistent year after year without sanding, staining, or sealing.
For homeowners debating between TimberTech and Trex, both brands perform well in Austin. The biggest differentiator is that TimberTech offers the AZEK PVC option for moisture-prone applications, while Trex remains within the composite category. TimberTech also offers wider board options than Trex in several product lines, which some homeowners prefer for aesthetic reasons. Our materials guide for Texas weather covers the broader comparison in detail.
Color selection matters more in Austin than in cooler climates. Darker TimberTech and AZEK boards absorb more heat and can be uncomfortable underfoot in direct summer sun. We walk through color samples during the estimate and recommend lighter tones for full-sun decks. Shaded and partially covered decks can use the full color range without heat concerns.
Installation and Build Process
Every TimberTech project begins with an on-site assessment. We evaluate soil conditions, measure the space, and discuss your design and material preferences. Austin’s clay soil requires properly engineered footings, which we design for each property. We go deeper than minimum code requirements when the soil assessment warrants it, which is common on properties with heavy clay or recent fill.
Framing is pressure-treated lumber rated for ground contact. TimberTech and AZEK boards are installed using the brand’s recommended hidden-fastener systems, which create a clean, screw-free surface. Railings are available in composite, aluminum, cable, and glass options. We handle the full deck installation from footing to final walkthrough with no subcontractors. Permits are coordinated through trusted partners, so you do not have to handle the paperwork or inspection scheduling.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between TimberTech and AZEK?
TimberTech is the parent brand offering both composite and PVC products. The standard TimberTech lines are wood-composite boards similar to Trex. The AZEK line is 100% PVC with no wood content, making it more resistant to moisture, mold, and staining. AZEK is the premium option and costs more.
How long does TimberTech decking last in Austin?
TimberTech composite boards carry warranties of 25 to 30 years, depending on the product line. The AZEK PVC line offers even longer coverage. Both handle Austin’s heat and UV well. Actual lifespan with minimal maintenance typically exceeds the warranty period.
Is AZEK worth the extra cost over standard composite?
AZEK is worth considering for pool decks, covered patios, and any area with consistent moisture exposure. The PVC construction does not absorb water, eliminating the risk of mold and mildew. For standard backyard decks in dry applications, standard TimberTech composite performs well and costs less.
How does TimberTech compare to Trex?
Both are premium composite brands with similar durability and warranty coverage. TimberTech offers a wider range of board widths and the AZEK PVC option that Trex does not match. Trex has broader retail availability and name recognition. We install both and can walk you through a side-by-side comparison.
What colors does TimberTech offer?
TimberTech offers a wide range of earth tones, grays, and warm browns across its product lines. The colors tend to run slightly warmer and more natural than some Trex options. AZEK adds additional lighter tones that work well for pool areas and coastal-style homes.
