What Can Custom Deck Builders Do to Ensure Your New Deck is Weatherproof?
The choice of an exterior deck must be made by taking into account a series of details related to the climatic characteristics of the geographical region where the building is located. You should know, for example, the rainfall regime of the area but also the average annual temperatures. That's because not all materials can withstand the elements identically.
Denver Deck Builders can recommend you the best weatherproof solutions for your new deck.
Here are some of them:
Pavers
Used especially if the deck is built at ground level, pavers can be made of stone, concrete or polymers. They are commonly manufactured in square or rectangle shapes. The advantages of this type of decking material are water resistance, simple maintenance requirements, as well as durability to mechanical and thermal stressors.
Concrete
Decks with simple concrete floors are very convenient because they require almost no special attention for maintenance. They are also affordable because they can be built together with the foundation, the only extra operation that needs to be performed is leveling and polishing the surface. A concrete deck can be protected with rubber-based paints that add a nice visual and tactile detail.
WPC
Composite wood is much more resistant than other materials to moisture, UV radiation and the action of mold or pests that affect natural wood.
