Decks make for wonderful features that complement your outdoor living experience. We all love to grill out on the deck in summer, watch the kids splash in the pool, recline with a good book or catch some sun. A good deck lets us do all of that and more. If your existing deck is outdated and needs a refresh, or you don’t have one yet but want one, it’s important to do your research. Here’s a look at the latest trends in deck design.

Multi-Level Decks

There’s truly something for everyone when you install a multi-level deck to accommodate various activities. You can increase your outdoor entertainment options with anything from water features and spa pools to outdoor kitchen areas and bench seating, as seen here on HGTV

Eco-Friendly Materials

A strong deck that takes the environment into consideration is a good choice among today’s discerning homeowners. By incorporating environmentally responsible materials, you can embrace your love of nature and ensure a long-lasting product. For example, composite combines wood fiber with recycled plastic to create plank material for added durability and fade resistance over straight wood. Hi-Tech Windows & Siding installs decks crafted of 100 percent recyclable PVC compounds. It’s a vinyl material that’s easy to maintain and offers much-needed durability for even the busiest of families.

Wet Decks

Perfect for surrounding your pool or hot tub, wet decks offer increased durability and slip resistance so kids and adults alike can enjoy a day swimming without worrying about falls. Our factory-trained professionals are fully certified to install slip resistant, environmentally-friendly decks.

Underlayments

For decks that are a full story above the ground, like those that extend a second story, you can create an outdoor space that’s both versatile and beautiful. Now, you can take advantage of additional shaded areas beneath the deck, utilizing space that would otherwise go unused. Plus, underlayments can divert water or snow away from the deck so you don’t experience water damage, such as mold and structural degradation.

Lighting

Did you know you can create a deck with built-in LED lighting? Not only is this popular, it’s also cost-effective and convenient, making for an efficient use of your time. Outdoor lighting adds value and functionality to your backyard that is appreciated by family and guests of all ages.
