What to Know When Buying a Deck for Your
Home...
When it comes to home improvements, deck systems top
the list with an estimated four million new decks built
annually in the U.S. and 40 million remodeled decks gracing today’s homes. This rising trend has led manufacturers
to offer a wider variety of deck materials, styles, and options, but choices can be overwhelming. While wood has
traditionally won the popularity contest for decks due to its natural appearance, vinyl is becoming a choice
material for outdoor home entertaining due to its combination of carefree maintenance, aesthetics and value. Vinyl
isn’t just for windows and siding anymore.
Why are more people “decking out” their homes with
vinyl? One big reason is time. Working families value leisure time more than ever because they
have less time to maintain their outdoor environments. Vinyl decks are virtually maintenance-free, requiring only a
yearly power-wash to maintain, whereas wood fades and deteriorates with costly regular stain and sealant
applications. Unlike wood or composite, vinyl is color-fast and non-porous, so dirt and stains don’t collect to
compromise appearance. Vinyl decks retain their original fresh appearance for many decades.
“Consumers are also choosing vinyl to save
money. While vinyl has a higher up-front cost than wood, it lasts longer and delivers a total
return on investment in just 5 to 7 years versus wood, which delivers no payback due to its prohibitive maintenance
costs,” says Deron Manwaring, national sales and marketing manager, Royal Outdoor Products. Busy consumers who want
to enhance their home’s value feel vinyl is well worth the investment.”
When shopping for the right deck supplier, keep several things in
mind. Not all vinyl deck systems are the same. Find a supplier with a complete vinyl
package
that includes not only basic deck materials, but compatible vinyl rails, posts and trim to create
an integrated look that adds curb appeal to your home exterior. Whether you’re a homeowner or residential
contractor, you want an experienced vinyl deck company that delivers custom, innovative solutions to suit specific
needs and tastes.
One company offering trend-setting vinyl deck
solutions since 1988 is Royal Outdoor Products, which helps homeowners create stunning outdoor
entertaining spaces. With Royal Outdoor Products’ customizable vinyl Deck Lok system, all deck, rail, post, and
trim components interlock using a tongue-and-groove system for easy installation, seamless beauty, and
versatility.
“Homeowners want low-maintenance,
natural-looking alternatives to wood. Deck Lok rapidly
gained popularity once people learned it’s an affordable, component-based vinyl system that mimics the look of wood
without the hassles. Our unique extrusion process creates variegated textures, and our vinyl withstands heavy use
and elements for a lifetime,” says Manwaring.
