Lakeshore Decks and Deck Repair

If you are looking for a new composite deck or looking to build a deck using TREX material, you have come to the right place. We are a professional deck builder and construction company service Lake Norman, NC. 

If you’re building a new deck or adding on to an existing one, composite decks might be an excellent choice. Most construction professionals and homeowners agree that they are easy to build and very affordable. Composite decks are made from recycled material such as eucalyptus, fiberglass, recycled plastic (such as tires and recycled plastic bags), wood fibers, resins, and tarps. Most construction companies use eucalyptus oil as the main ingredient in creating a composite deck. Also used is a resin which can give them a smooth, non-slip surface.

Unlike traditional wood decks, composite decks are made with different structural qualities. One is made from a hardwood core, which contains tiny air spaces between the individual wood planks. This provides a very sturdy construction. The layers of wood have the right amount of strength to withstand pressure and weathering without splintering. In addition, this core material doesn’t require having nails or glue for staining or painting – two very expensive options often required for traditional decks.

Another advantage is that composite decks have a much lower maintenance cost than wood does. The resins used in making these outdoor structures don’t attract any airborne fungi which can cause problems with your respiratory system and contribute to air pollution. This is due to the fact that the resin stays dry and doesn’t allow moisture to move around like it does with traditional wood. As a result, mold and mildew are usually not a problem with composite decks. In fact, many manufacturers encourage you to keep them completely dry so there’s no growth of mold or mildew.

Of course, all this talk about durability may lull you into thinking that with a composite deck, there’s no maintenance you have to worry about. It’s true that the resin used in the construction of these outdoor structures requires regular cleaning and may need to be repainted from time to time. However, you’ll still be able to enjoy the long-lasting quality of the material. As mentioned earlier, some manufacturers will even help you design a maintenance program that will keep your wood deck looking great year after year.

The real advantage of composite decks lies in their ability to resist decay and to withstand extreme weather conditions like hurricanes and strong sun. This is because the composite decking is sprayed with resins that resist moisture and provide a protective barrier. In the case of hurricanes, wind, rain and snow, this barrier prevents rain and snow from penetrating into the structure and being carried away. So, when the storms come, there’s less maintenance needed. And, if you live in an area that doesn’t get too much rain or snow, you won’t have to worry about mold and mildew either.

But, as mentioned above, wood decking does require more maintenance than its composite counterpart. Also, when you compare wood decking to a composite deck, the material can warp and split as well as rot and develop splinters. With these issues aside, the cost of installing composite decks can be quite high.

 

Many homeowners and business owners opt for recycled materials when it comes to composite decks. Recycled wood and lumber are perfect for both residential and commercial applications. The downside to recycled materials is that they cost a lot more than standard materials. So, if you’re looking for a deck that’s easy on the pocket, recycled materials are probably not the best option.

 

For those who don’t want to buy new composite decks, there are other options to preserve your deck’s beauty without having to apply stain. Stain is a good option for preserving wood surfaces. However, it can also cause damage to the surface. If you’re on a budget, then you can use water based stain instead. A quick application of stain is all that is needed to maintain the beauty of your deck. If you have the right stain, then you can enjoy the beauty of your deck without the cost to purchase new composite decks or repair existing ones.
