PVC Porch Decking MaterialsPVC (plastic) porch flooring is environmentally safe and will last a long time. It is highly durable and is used by residential homeowners as well as architects and builders.The manufacturing process ensures it retains color and is made to resemble either unpainted or finished wood flooring. Like other porch flooring, PVC is available in standard sizes. It won't rot or twists and only needs periodic maintenance (clean with water). It is known for its longevity and is one of more inexpensive flooring materials available. Rubber Porch FlooringRubber porch flooring is made from high density polyethylene (usually a mix of polyethylene resins and tires that have been recycled) and as such can withstand extreme temperature variations.Although sometimes difficult to find, rubber porch flooring is available in green, brown, terra-cotta, gray, black, and red. Durable, it can last for 25 years and is easy to maintain. It costs a little more than PVC flooring.
