Maintaining the original design and integrity of your home is important, and for many homes, that starts on the front porch.
If you are looking for a "real" wood option, you can guarantee high maintenance. Using a T&G pine/douglas fir, these days, within 5 years, you'll have peeling paint, cracks, and buckles.
Old growth options are also available, but they are expensive, and an environmentalist's nightmare (since they contribute to deforestation).
You're next option is a synthetic product. PPP (polypropylene) and PPE (polyethylene) products aren't dimensionally stable which means they will expand and contract with temperature change and moisture.
>>Essentially, PVC porch flooring is the best option for a long-lasting, low maintenance T&G flooring (PVC is no longer on the US Green Build "Do Not Use" list due to it's longevity; making it a sustainable option). There are a few different companies out there, and if you're looking for a product you can paint, Aeratis porch flooring comes both paint-ready and colored through.
