Delightful Deck Ideas Tuesday, March 1, 2005 ——— SS== f= = 7 ——_——————— A ——— SSS 4 pelt ME. 22 == Delightful Deck Ideas (NAPSA)—Decksare an important part of a homeowner’s everyday lifestyle and an indispensable part of every home. They allow people to add an extra outdoor room without the price of time and energy. Deck maintenance can be quite a hassle and very time-consuming. Because people have busy schedules that do not allow for proper maintenance of outdoorliving spaces, the look and feel of a deck deteriorates over time...until now. Homeowners do not like the hassle of staining, sealing and waterproofing their decks, and now technology allows the decking industry to reach new heights by creating decking materials from substances other than wood. One of the many new decking alternatives developed in recent years is wood composite decking. It has become the industry’s upand-coming preferred decking material not only because it is low-maintenance, but also be- cause of the many features traditional treated wood does not embody. Due to its special formulation of wood flour and plastic resins, wood composite decking eliminates the expense and hassle of annual staining and water sealing. It also promises a consistent appearance and durability. Most importantly, it won’t crack or split—an extreme advantageif you have small children running around barefoot. Additionally, TimberTech composite decking is always comfortable to the touch, and it is American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant for nonslip walking surfaces. Responding to the rapid increase in wood composite decking interest and sales, manufacturers have created more options for the homeowner. Planks are now available in a widevariety of styles and colors. For example, TimberTech composite decking and railing solutions created a patented fastener-free Floorizon plank with a tongue-and-groove design featuring both a brushed surface and a new VertiGrain texture, which provides the look of top-quality vertical grain lumber. The entire product line is available in a variety of colors including Cedar, Grey and Redwood to match and complement the style and color of any home. Thesolid baluster and ornamental spindle railing systems, also designed to reflect personal style, feature Cedar, Grey, Red- wood and Whitesand. Homeowners no longer have to worry about maintaining their deck but will have more time to do other, more important activities, like relax with family and friends.
