Orange County Deck Contractor Builds with Composite Materials

The ultimate in recycling is when you can remove products headed for the landfill and create something new and wonderful with them. Trex does this with plastic and wood waste to create Trex Composite Decking. Crank Waterproofing is the Orange County deck contractor that uses Trex to build beautiful decks.

The Trex Advantage

Trex makes its decking product with 95% recycled materials. They estimate they save 400 million pounds of plastic and wood from landfills every year.

Composite decking has a distinct advantage over other decking products. It’s a wonder that every Orange County deck contractor doesn’t use this as their primary material. But they don’t. Pity

Trex lasts longer than wood. It will not

split
splinter
rot
fade
stain
be eaten by termites
destroyed by dry rot

And it will look wonderful over time. Maintenance is easy too. Just hose it off and every once in a while wash it down with a little mild detergent and water. There’s no need for seasonal painting, sealing, or waterproofing with Trex composite.

Can you say that about your tile, wood, or brick outdoor space?

And Trex looks like wood too.

Designing a Deck with Composite Materials

When designing a deck you want to keep in mind the building code, existing architecture, location of utilities, and how you want to use the space. Look at your existing substructure as well.

Think, will you use it for simple seating or do you need an area for dining. Should you incorporate space for grilling or an outdoor kitchen? Maybe you should include a bump out for dining.

Is there a view or breeze to capture?

If so, rounded or beveled corners open up a space visually and increase the air flow.

What size will it be? Keep in mind the dimensions of the building materials to reduce the number of cuts as this reduces the labor costs.

Trex decking is available in 5.5″ width boards of 12, 16, and 20 feet.

Deck Railings Matter

Your deck railings are an important part of your deck. Crank Waterproofing builds composite decks with composite railings, traditional metal railings, and even glass railings.

Trex railings are as durable as Trex decking. So you already know the benefits over wood. Combine Trex decking with aluminum railings and the result is a beautiful deck that’s low maintenance and lasts.
