Low Maintenance Outdoor Living Designs Are The Future And Await You Right Now, Right Here In Galena OH

Back in the day, many outdoor living structures that were typically built with wood used pressure-treated lumber in the construction process. The challenge with that decision is maintaining it on a frequent basis to preserve its looks, wear and functionality.

Regular maintenance for wood decks typically involves a combination of the following cleaning, upkeep and preservation steps:

1. Cleaning: Homeowners with wood decks need to sweep the deck regularly to remove dirt, leaves, and debris – or use a leaf blower or broom to clear the surface. Additionally, any mildew or mold must be removed using a deck cleaner specifically formulated for wood decks.

2. Inspecting: Folks with wood decks must regularly inspect their deck for any signs of damage, such as loose boards, protruding nails, or rotting wood. It is also important to check the deck's structural integrity, including the supports, railings, and stairs. Additionally, they must repair or replace any damaged components promptly to ensure safety.

3. Staining or Sealing: Depending on the type of wood and the finish applied, it may be necessary to stain or seal the deck periodically. These treatments help protect the wood from moisture, UV rays, and general wear.

4. Sanding: Over time, wooden decks may develop rough spots, splinters, or faded areas. Sanding the deck surface can help to smooth the surface and remove any loose wood fibers by using a power sander or sandpaper to achieve a smooth finish. So this is another joy of outdoor living? We don’t think so.

Loving outdoor living to the fullest means having the least amount of manual labor possible to keep it looking like new, sturdy, strong and functional for many years to come.

It’s all possible right now in Galena OH with AZEK TimberTech low maintenance synthetic decking and composite decking products. What’s the difference? It’s how they are meticulously made.

While they both offer advantages over wood, there are some key differences between PVC and composite deck building materials.

1. PVC (polyvinyl chloride) decking is made entirely of synthetic plastic, while composite decking is a combination of wood fibers and recycled plastic. On the other side of the spectrum, composite decking contains a mixture of wood flour (a byproduct of the lumber industry) and plastic resins.

2. PVC decking is generally considered lower maintenance compared to composite decking. It does not require sealing, staining, or painting, and it is resistant to stains, fading, and moisture. Composite decking may require light periodic cleaning to maintain its appearance and protect it from the elements.

3. PVC decking typically has a uniform and consistent appearance since it is made from synthetic materials. It is available in a wide range of colors and finishes, including wood grain patterns. Composite decking, on the other hand, aims to mimic the look of natural wood more closely. It can have a more varied and authentic wood-like appearance, with options for different colors and textures.

4. PVC decking has a higher tendency to retain heat compared to composite decking. On a hot day, composite decking tends to stay cooler.

Galena OH low maintenance decks don’t require homeowners to be mindful of rigorous upkeep – hence the name “low maintenance.” The only maintenance they require is using a sponge or hose to remove anything you would remove from your indoor floors such as ketchup and food spills. Otherwise, the mud that’s tracked on them, along with the dirt and pollen, can be removed with a garden hose. Easy breezy outdoor living – that’s the ticket.
