Winter can be tough on outdoor structures, and your deck is no exception. Choosing the right materials for your deck can make all the difference in ensuring it remains safe, functional, and attractive throughout the colder months. MoistureShield composite decking from Sherwood Lumber is designed to withstand harsh winter conditions while offering a low-maintenance, durable, and aesthetically pleasing option for your outdoor living space. Here’s how you can benefit from using MoistureShield composite decking this winter.
Durability in Harsh Weather
Weather Resistance: MoistureShield composite decking is engineered to resist the harshest weather conditions. Unlike traditional wood, it won’t warp, crack, or splinter when exposed to freezing temperatures, snow, or ice. This makes it an ideal choice for winter, providing a stable and safe surface for your outdoor activities.
Moisture Resistance: One of the standout features of MoistureShield decking is its exceptional moisture resistance. Winter moisture from snow and ice can wreak havoc on wood decks, leading to rot and decay. MoistureShield’s unique construction prevents moisture absorption, protecting your deck from damage and ensuring it remains in top condition year-round.
Low Maintenance
Minimal Upkeep: Winter can make maintaining a deck a challenging task. With MoistureShield composite decking, you can enjoy a low-maintenance outdoor space. It doesn’t require painting, staining, or sealing, and cleaning is as simple as a quick wash with soap and water. This frees up your time to enjoy your deck rather than spending hours on upkeep.
Slip Resistance: Safety is a major concern during winter, especially with the risk of ice and snow buildup. MoistureShield composite decking features a slip-resistant surface, providing better traction and reducing the risk of slips and falls, ensuring your deck is safe to use even in wet conditions.
Aesthetic Appeal
Consistent Beauty: Winter weather can be harsh on traditional wood decks, causing them to lose their color and appeal. MoistureShield decking retains its vibrant color and beauty despite exposure to the elements. Available in a variety of colors and finishes, you can create a stunning deck that enhances your home’s winter landscape.
Design Versatility: MoistureShield composite decking allows for versatile design options, enabling you to create a customized look that complements your home’s style. Whether you prefer a traditional wood appearance or a modern finish, there’s a MoistureShield option to suit your taste.
Eco-Friendly Choice
Sustainable Materials: Choosing MoistureShield composite decking is not only good for your home but also for the environment. Made from recycled materials, it helps reduce waste and promotes sustainable building practices. By opting for MoistureShield, you contribute to a greener planet while enjoying a high-quality deck.
Preparing Your Deck for Winter
Inspect and Clean: Before winter sets in, inspect your deck for any signs of damage and clean it thoroughly. Remove any debris, leaves, or dirt that could trap moisture and cause damage.
Protect and Preserve: Ensure your deck is free from standing water by clearing snow and ice regularly. Use a plastic shovel to avoid scratching the surface, and consider using a non-corrosive ice melt product to prevent ice buildup.
Regular Checks: Throughout the winter, perform regular checks to ensure your deck remains in good condition. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage and maintain the safety and beauty of your outdoor space.
