Vinyl Deck Contractor Maple Ridge
In recent times, vinyl has become an alternative for wood in many landscaping projects including decks. Vinyl is a durable material and manufacturers have put time into making sure the finished products looks visually appealing as well. It is a great option for the lower mainland as they can create a waterproof membrane when installed. If you have some vertical space to work with, you can even create a waterproof storage below your deck as well. It can also be used to create a vinyl rooftop deck due to its waterproof properties. Manufacturers also provide a decent warranty on the vinyl itself if proper maintenance work is done. The great part is, maintenance is much less of a hassle compared to wooden decks. You typically only need to give it a quick scrub with soap and then rinse it down.
When getting a vinyl deck installed, there are a couple things you should keep in mind. When deciding on the colour of your vinyl, make sure to take into account how much sun your deck will receive. A darker colour will absorb the heat and make it potentially too hot on your barefoot while a lighter colour will be cooler. When it comes to visuals, a lighter colour will show dirt and grime much more than a darker deck. Lastly, a lighter vinyl could reflect more light back at you while a darker colour will typically absorb the light more which will cause it to reflect less. Vinyl is a great option for us in the lower mainland. It require little maintenance, it is moderately priced, and has waterproof properties which is excellent for our climate. There is no risk of rotting or splintering like wood and can resist things like UV rays, mold, and mildew which natural wood can potentially struggle with. Nowadays, you also have many different design options to choose from. So not only will you have a sturdy deck, it can be stylish as well.
