Vinyl Deck Contractor Coquitlam

Vinyl decks have become a very popular alternative to wood decks and for good reason. Vinyl is a very durable material and has made strides in recent years on the visual ends as well. It is a great solution for decks in the lower mainland as they create a waterproof membrane when installed. You can use this to your advantage to potentially create some extra storage below your deck or some other use of the space. A vinyl rooftop deck can also be a great choice as it can add an extra waterproof layer of protection for your property. The material itself is also quite durable and manufacturers provide a good warranty is maintenance work is done on the vinyl. The best part is, the maintenance work itself is quite minimal as vinyl is easy to clean. A bit of soap and a quick hose down is usually all that is required. This is much easier than say a cedar deck which requires cleaning, resealing, and maybe some oils as well.

Here are a few things to keep in mind if you are getting a vinyl deck installed. When you are picking the colour of your deck, keep in mind how much sun your deck will receive, especially during the hotter months. A lighter colour will be cooler on your feet while a darker will absorb more of the heat which could potentially make it too hot barefoot. With a lighter colour, dirt and grime will stand out much more compared to a darker vinyl. A dark vinyl may hide the dirt and grime well enough that your deck might not even appear dirty. Another thing to take into consideration is the amount of light that can be reflected off of a lighter vinyl. A darker colour will not reflect as much light back to you. 

Vinyl is such a great option for decks as it is low maintenance, moderately priced, and comes with the extra benefit of being waterproof. Vinyl has not risk of rotting or splintering like wood and it is made to resist mold, mildew, and UV which makes it a great choice for our climate. With the advancements that vinyl has gone through in recent times, there have been some great colour and design choices to choose from as well. Vinyl decks are sturdy and look great at the same time.
