Demystifying Composite Decking 5 common misconceptions about composite material

F

irst introduced in the late 1980s, composite decking quickly gained acceptance among builders and homeowners who recognized and appreciated being able to achieve a natural wood look without the ongoing hassles of upkeep. Although most people today understand the main benefits of composite decking—durability and minimal maintenance—the material itself is still new enough to raise questions, confusion and some skepticism among homeowners who grew up with wood decks.

To help set the record straight, Trex Company, the world’s No. 1 decking and railing brand and leader in high-performance, low-maintenance outdoor living products, has teamed with backyard design experts Paul Lafrance and Kate Campbell of HGTV’s acclaimed Decked Out series.

MISCONCEPTION NO. 3:

Composite decking is maintenance free.

MISCONCEPTION NO. 1:

Composite decking looks “fake.”

“Composite decking has evolved tremendously since its beginnings more than 20 years ago,” Campbell said.

“The latest generation of products, such as Trex Transcend, look more natural than ever, featuring high-definition wood grain patterns and rich, saturated colors ranging from warm browns and pristine grey to spicy reds.”

“Anything that sits outside in the elements for years on end is going to need some type of MISCONCEPTION NO. 2: maintenance,” Campbell said. “When it comes to decking, the difference lies in how much upkeep is required. Maintaining “Since composite decking wood decking is a was invented in the downright chore with all early 1990s, the market the scrubbing, sanding has been flooded with and staining that wood competitive offerings requires—not to mention varying widely in quality, the replacement of aesthetics and value,” splintered, warped and Lafrance said. “For my rotten boards. Highprojects, I use what is performance composite categorized as ‘highdecking, on the other performance’ composite hand, calls for just wiping manufactured with an up spills when they integrated, three-sided happen and a simple shell or ‘cap.’ Capped soap-and-water cleaning boards feature an added twice a year—once in layer of protection against the spring when you’re severe weather, heavy getting it ready for foot traffic, fading, mold outdoor living season and and staining.” again when you close up your outdoor living space for the winter.”

All composite decking materials are the same.

MISCONCEPTION NO. 4:

MISCONCEPTION NO. 5:

“Over time, wood decking actually ends up being more expensive than composite,” Lafrance said. “Sure, the initial cost of pressure-treated lumber is less than wood alternatives, but because a deck is a long-term investment, it’s important to consider the longterm costs, such as all the materials you’ll need for seasonal stripping, staining, painting and sealing. Add to that the time and cost involved in repairing and replacing wooden deck boards that will inevitably warp and splinter over time—even if they are well-maintained.”

“Because it is made primarily from recycled content, composite decking is remarkably eco-friendly,” Campbell said. “In fact, Trex composite decking is made from 95 percent recycled content. By using plastic and industrial wood scraps that would otherwise wind up in landfills, they use more than 400 million pounds of recycled material each year in the making of their deck boards.”

Composite decking is too expensive.

High-End Home Upgrades

For most people, their home is their family’s most significant asset. Upgrading is a smart approach to protecting and growing the value of that investment.

Home Security

Whether you’re aiming for a stronger sense of personal safety or extra protection for your valuable possessions, today’s security systems take home monitoring to a whole new level. Basic keypad alarms have been replaced by a host of features, such as silent alarms that allow authorities to catch a burglar in action; cameras that allow you to monitor the premises from inside the home or while you’re away using a connected device; motion detectors that simultaneously trigger exterior and interior lights while activating security cameras and more. There is no one solution for every home, but a home security expert can talk through your concerns and guide you to the system that best fits your needs.

Standby Generators

When seasonal weather or other circumstances cause power outages, the impact on a home and family can range from inconvenient to unsafe. A standby generator system keeps a household humming even when the power is out—automatically. An important feature to look for is power management technology, which manages the power balancing act that is your home’s appliances.

For example, Briggs & Stratton Fortress standby generators are equipped with Symphony II Power Management, which lets homeowners prioritize what in their home they need powered by proactively monitoring and managing the home’s backup power needs, allowing for whole-house power with a more affordable generator. This power management system also uses remote power-switching modules that are installed directly to a home’s existing wiring, to help reduce installation costs. For more information about standby generator systems and their features, visit powernow.com.

Wireless Automation

You may think of it as just a phone, but the tiny computer you carry every day packs the power to control an ever-growing segment of your home. Using an app on your smartphone, tablet or computer, you can control everything from your locks and lights to the temperature setting on your thermostat. What’s more, you can create settings that integrate multiple functions to set the perfect ambiance for whatever you have in mind. Planning a movie night? Cue the movie setting, with dimmed lights, blinds lowered and the TV powered on. Hosting a party? Count on your custom entertaining setup, with lighting in all your guest-friendly rooms, lively music playing on your whole-home sound system and a lower temperature to keep things cool as the party heats up.

ome upgrades come in all shapes and sizes, from minor landscaping projects to large-scale security installations. When looking to make an impact, it’s smart to opt for high-end upgrades such as those that boost security or enhance the technological features of your home.

These upgrades not only lend an upscale feel but can bring families peace of mind while enhancing the ways to enjoy their home.

THE

Homefront

Kitchens are moving outside. And they’re doing it in a big way. According to a recent study from the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA), outdoor kitchens are expected to be a top design trend in 2016.

“A

n outdoor kitchen can drastically improve the value of a home,” said Alana Busse, designer and NKBA Central Coast and Valleys chapter president. “They also bring people together. Whether, it’s simply your neighbors coming over for a weekend barbecue or a big family gathering, everyone loves being outside.”

Big or small, the basic principles of outdoor kitchen design remain the same. Get started by understanding these basics.

Get The Right Heat

It all starts with the grill—the centerpiece of the outdoor kitchen. Russ Faulk, chief designer and head of product for Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet, which makes outdoor kitchen equipment, suggests basing your selection on the cook you aspire to be, not the kind you are now. Remember that there are no uniform depths, heights or widths when it comes to grills, so future upgrades can be a challenge.

Assess The Space

Conversely, a fully independent outdoor kitchen with refrigeration, warming cabinets and cabinetry is more self-reliant but will require more space and connections for gas, water and electricity. Grill placement is also a key decision. If you entertain often, Faulk recommends keeping the cook in the party by positioning the grill perpendicular to the dining area.

In The Zone

You’ll get the most out of your outdoor kitchen when you have different functional zones

designated, Faulk said. Plot out where you will position four key zones—wet, cold, hot and dry—to make prepping, cooking, serving and cleaning much easier.

The cold zone should be next to the wet zone. This will simplify moving food from the cold zone refrigerator to the wet zone sink to wash and get ready for grilling in the hot zone.

Also plan for uninterrupted counter space, or landing areas, for placing platters and utensils while cooking. Grills should have at least 24 inches to one

Faulk recommends thinking about how you envision the relationship between your indoor and outdoor kitchens next. If they are relatively close together, an outdoor kitchen can utilize the indoor kitchen’s capabilities, such as prep space and storage.

side and 12 inches to the other.

Sinks should have 18 inches on both sides for room to wash food or place dirty dishes.

Left Outside

Being outdoors means your refrigeration and cabinetry will need to be equipped to handle the elements.

When considering refrigeration for an outdoor kitchen, Faulk stresses food safe-rated options. With these products, meats won’t go bad and drinks will stay cold, even when it’s above 95 degrees outside.

Cabinetry should be equipped to handle rain and protect the items inside.

Weather-tight cabinets have seamless rain gutters around the door and drawer openings to help divert water.

Easy Home Upgrades Add style, function to interior, exterior spaces.

W

hether you recently purchased a new house and are looking for ways to add your own style and personal touches or are looking to upgrade your longstanding home, it’s essential to add style and function when completing any home improvement project.

From adding light and ventilation to updating your home’s safety, closets, facade or backyard, you can take advantage of these ideas to enhance the aesthetics of your house and improve its livability and capabilities.

Combine Safety With Style

Home safety has never been so stylish—or convenient. First Alert’s easy-to-install Atom Smoke and Fire Alarm packs all the power of an advanced photoelectric smoke alarm into a miniature, non-intrusive design and features an advanced smoke entry system designed to reduce the chances of false alarms along with a loud, penetrating siren. The 10-year sealed-battery Atom provides added home protection and eliminates the need to replace the batteries for the life of the alarm. For more information, visit firstalert.com.

Upgrade Your Home With Natural Light

There’s no better way to breathe new life into interior spaces than decorating with light. Velux Energy Star-qualified, solar-powered fresh air skylights bring natural light and ventilation into the home and carry a 10-year, no-leak installation warranty. Along with available solar powered blinds, the skylights operate by remote control, closing automatically in case of rain. Costs will vary, but a new solar skylight installation typically ranges from $1,800 to $2,400 after a 30 percent federal tax credit. To find dealers and certified installers, visit whyskylights.com.

Enhance Your Storage Space

Whether it’s a lack of space, too many shirts or pairs of shoes, or simply not enough time to get organized, you can eliminate the mess and enhance your closet’s storage space in a weekend with ClosetMaid’s SuiteSymphony line. The DIY system, which is available in multiple finishes, adds stylish organization to both walk-in and traditional closets and is customizable with accessories such as drawers, door fronts, shoe shelves and expandable hang rods. Find more organization solutions at ClosetMaid.com.

Looking to upgrade and instantly enhance the look of your home? Install a new front door, such as one from the extensive line of fiberglass exterior doors from Feather River Doors. Hand-stained oak and mahogany doors are among the most popular, accentuating elegant wood grain details that instantly improve a home’s curb appeal. They’re energy efficient, low maintenance, secure and available in custom sizes and colors, exclusively at The Home Depot. Check out the options at featherriverdoor.com.

Boost Your Backyard Appearance

Every backyard requires that special finishing touch. If your outdoor living quarters are missing that unique “something,” install and decorate a pergola to bring it all together. A pergola is the perfect spot for hanging plants, setting up a shaded canopy or creating an exquisite entrance to your personal garden. Research the different types of pergolas available before deciding what’s best for you and customize it to fit your needs—it’s the ultimate creative space for the outdoor artist in you.

Plan Ahead for Power Outages

“S

torm season often motivates homeowners to start thinking about how to keep the power on and avoid the costs and inconvenience associated with power outages,” said Dan Roche with Briggs & Stratton.

Get ready for the chance of inclement weather ahead with these tools and resources.

FIRST AID. Assemble a basic first aid kit with assorted sterile, compression and adhesive bandages, rolled gauze, adhesive tape, disinfectant, antibiotic ointment, tweezers, scissors and instant cold packs. Add pain relieving medications (including children’s strength, if applicable) and a few days’ worth of any regular medications you take.

Summer storms are often accompanied by damaging hail, high winds, heavy rain and lightning that cause widespread power outages affecting homeowners’ peace of mind—and their pocketbooks.

Homeowners can prepare for possible power outages by establishing an emergency plan for their families.

light, battery-powered weather radio, bottled water, non-perishable snacks and personal hygiene items. Don’t forget extra batteries that fit your devices, and keep a portable cell phone charger on hand. The compact Rayovac Phone Charger, which is compatible with most USB-powered devices, holds enough power to recharge a mobile phone up to three times (depending on device) and holds its charge up to four months. Find more devices ideal for your emergency kit at rayovac.com.

Briggs & Stratton’s Storm Responder Portable Generator is equipped with a digital control panel that provides everything owners need to know, including the amount of power being used, total lifetime hours of the generator and maintenance reminders. Ideal for first-time buyers, the Storm Responder features step-by-step startup, shutdown and storage instructions as well as a safety guide printed directly on the unit. Be sure you have a transfer switch installed in your home so you are ready to safely restore the power in the event of an outage. To learn more, visit briggsandstratton.com.

While portable generators can provide users with flexibility and comfort, homeowners and renters should only use portable generators outside in order to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Visit TakeYourGeneratorOutside.com to learn more about portable generator safety.

comfort likely varies depending on your family composition but may include things like stuffed animals, soothing blankets or small toys for little ones and more practical items, including pillows and sleeping bags, for older family members.

Remember that a storm may leave you huddled in a confined space or without power for an extended period, so diversions such as travel-size games and cards can help pass the time.

BACKUP POWER. Portable generators provide a solution during an emergency power outage to power essential items, such as refrigerators, sump pumps and lights. An option such as

Also include any relevant medical contacts or information. Stash your guide along with your emergency and first aid kits so it will be within easy reach if you need it.

Seasonal weather can bring unpredictable dangers to your home and family, but assembling the right materials ahead of time will help ensure your family is well prepared to ride out the storm.
