TimberTech builds some of the most realistic, best-performing boards in the industry. Its capped composite lines (EDGE and PRO) wrap a wood-and-polymer core in a protective shell, while AZEK is capped PVC — 100% synthetic, the lightest and coolest board made, and the most resistant to moisture, mold and coastal salt air. Both deliver deep, natural wood-grain looks that hold their color for decades.
That performance is why San Diego homeowners near the coast and around pools choose TimberTech and AZEK. The boards never rot, warp or splinter, they never need sanding, staining or sealing, and they carry 30-year composite and 50-year PVC warranties. From La Jolla to Poway, it is the deck you build once and enjoy for a lifetime.

See where TimberTech capped composite and AZEK PVC land next to wood and hardwood on look, durability and upkeep.
| Material | Look | Durability | Maintenance | Price tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pressure-Treated Wood | Classic, paintable | Good | High (seal yearly) | Budget |
| Redwood / Cedar | Warm, natural grain | Very good | Medium | Standard |
| TimberTech Composite | Wood-look, many colors | Excellent | Very low | Standard |
| TimberTech AZEK (PVC) | Modern, uniform | Excellent | Lowest | Premium |
| IPE Hardwood | Rich, dense, luxe | Outstanding | Medium (oil) | Premium |
TimberTech spans both categories: its capped composite delivers rich wood-look grain at a mid-to-premium price, while AZEK capped PVC is the lowest-maintenance, coolest and most moisture-proof board you can buy. Both beat wood, which needs yearly sealing, and IPE, which needs oiling. We'll match the TimberTech line and color to your budget and style.

They are the same family. TimberTech makes capped composite boards (a wood-and-polymer core wrapped in a protective shell), while AZEK is TimberTech's capped PVC line — 100% synthetic, the lightest, coolest and most moisture-proof option. AZEK sits at the top of the range; capped composite lines like EDGE and PRO cost less.
Both are excellent capped brands. TimberTech is known for exceptionally realistic wood-grain looks and its AZEK capped-PVC line, which is fully synthetic and stays cooler underfoot. We install both and help you compare boards side by side at your free estimate.
TimberTech capped composite carries 30-year fade and stain warranties, and AZEK capped PVC is backed by a 50-year limited warranty. In practice a TimberTech or AZEK deck should last decades with almost no upkeep.
