Vinyl Deck Contractor Vancouver

A material that has started to make waves in the construction industry in recent times is vinyl. Vinyl has become a excellent alternative to traditional building materials and is starting to gain more popularity in residential settings as well. Vinyl decks are a popular choice in Vancouver as it is waterproof. With the waterproof feature of vinyl decks it creates some flexibility in your building options if the space allows it. You could have a vinyl deck that is an upper-level deck and have usable space like a storage space below. Or a rooftop deck that is waterproof and adds an extra layer for your property. Vinyl is also highly durable and most manufactures provide a long warranty on the material itself if its is installed properly, ideally by an experienced deck contractor. One of the biggest benefits of a vinyl deck is that they require very low amounts of maintenance. To clean your vinyl deck, a periodic hose down is really all that is required. Compared to wood which can require oils and frequent sealing.

 A couple things to keep in mind when choosing a vinyl deck. When picking the colour of your deck, consider how much sun your deck will receive as well as if you prefer to be barefoot on your deck. A lighter colour will be cooler on your feet in the hotter summer months while darker colours will absorb more of the heat. Dirt and grime will stand out more with a lighter option and a darker vinyl may not even appear dirty if the dirt/grime is minimal Another thing to take into consideration is that a lighter vinyl can reflect much more sunlight compared to a darker option that will reflect very little sun.

All things considered, a vinyl deck is a low maintenance and affordable option that comes with the benefit of being waterproof. Vinyl is a strong and durable material and will have no risk of cracking, splintering, peeling, or rotting like its wood counterparts. The vinyl is made to resist mold, mildew, and UV making it a great choice for our climate. With recent advancements in vinyl decking, there are some great colour and style options to choose from as well. Vinyl decks look great and are built to last.
