LIGHT IT UP<br />
Lighting should be a key part of the deck design process, as not only does<br />
deck lighting increase visibility after dusk, it also creates an attractive<br />
radiance to completely transform the look and feel of your space.<br />
When it comes to decks, a little light can go a long way. Here are some<br />
options:<br />
In-deck lighting: You can indicate direction and safely guide guests<br />
around the space.<br />
Riser lights: These attractive yet subtle stairway additions help<br />
prevent stumbles.<br />
Decorative post cap lights: These softly lit ring lights add a touch of<br />
elegance while providing a line of sight on your deck. Solar-powered<br />
post caps skip the wiring and save energy.<br />
SUSTAINABILITY AND PRESERVATION<br />
Homeowners today are interested in environmentally sustainable<br />
products, and in the decking industry, products are created with that<br />
in mind. TimberTech decking is made from up to 85 percent recycled<br />
waste and scrap material that otherwise would have been destined for a<br />
landfill. Over its lifecycle, it’s a more sustainable option than traditional<br />
wood decking, and it’s recyclable at end of life.<br />
Once you invest in a deck, you want to ensure you’ll be able to enjoy<br />
it for years, and that’s where maintenance comes in. “Deck maintenance<br />
is vital to a deck’s appearance and structural integrity,” says Cimaglia.<br />
“When done properly and routinely, it increases your deck’s lifespan and<br />
reduces the likelihood of future repairs or replacements.”<br />
