The Benefits of Garden Decking

Image
Wood decking is a great addition to any garden design. It has a natural, appealing appearance that complements many different architectural styles and garden designs. It also has a softer feel than concrete or paved areas. Paint your decking in a fresh palette that matches the tones of nearby fences and furniture. This creates a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Cost-effective Adding a deck to your garden is a cost-effective way to create a new area for outdoor eating, a summer barbecue or even a play space. It is also a great way to level out a sloped garden. In addition, it will add to the value of your home if you decide to sell it in the future. Natural timber decking looks great and is available in many species, including pressure-treated softwood. It can be grooved or smooth, whichever best suits your garden design idea. Grooved decking resembles floorboards and makes a good choice for garden rooms where you want to create a seamless indoor-outdoor link. To soften the look of ...

Composite Decking – A Great Choice For Homeowners Looking to Maximize Their Outdoor Living Space

Image
Composite decking is a great choice for homeowners looking to maximize their outdoor living space. It offers the look of natural wood but requires less maintenance and upkeep than real wood. Modern, high-quality composite materials are often capped with protective PVC to protect the boards from moisture damage. This prevents stains, mold and other moisture-related problems. Durability Composite decking is strong enough to stand up to years of exposure to the elements. It doesn’t splinter, warp or crack after a freeze and thaw cycle, and it’s resistant to fading from the sun’s UV rays. It’s important to note that no decking is completely maintenance-free, however. All types of decking need regular cleaning to prevent buildup of dirt, leaves and debris that can trap moisture and cause mold and mildew. In addition, it’s also a good idea to wash your deck twice a year and remove ice in the winter to avoid slippery conditions. Choosing capped composite will help to keep your deck lo...

PVC Decking – An Alternative to Wood and Composite Products

Image
PVC decking is gaining popularity among homeowners who are seeking an alternative to wood or composite products. Unlike traditional and some composites, capped pvc is completely free of organic material, making it impervious to mold and mildew. Both pvc and composite should be intermittently swept or hosed down to remove debris and dirt build-up, but this should not be as frequent as with natural wood. Versatility While composites offer incredible design versatility, PVC offers a clean and sleek look of its own. It can be manufactured to look like wood or even stone, allowing you to create a deck that is uniquely yours. PVC decking is also mold-resistant. Because it doesn’t contain organic material, rot, mildew and insects won’t thrive in your backyard oasis. Unlike composite, which requires structural wood supports, a PVC deck is self-supporting and can be built on ground that is not level or graded. The plastic polymers also make it up to 30% lighter than woods and competitive ...
