No home feels complete without a good gathering space, and when it comes to gathering spaces, decks are hard to beat. A place to gather with friends and family, enjoy the great outdoors, and maybe do some grilling, decks are a much-loved addition to any home. Get out and enjoy a sunny Ishpeming summer with the help of a new deck from Astro UP!
Wood may be the traditional choice for deck builders, but it’s no longer the standard. That’s because vinyl decking and composite decking now offer durable, affordable, customizable alternatives.
While we all love the look of wood decking, it comes with significant drawbacks. First and foremost, wood holds moisture. Rain, humidity, ice and snow can rot and warp your wood. Wood is also prime real estate for any number of pests and insects, but particularly wasps. It’s prone to fading, and it requires lots of upkeep and maintenance to keep it sturdy and attractive year after year.
The good news is, you can get the look of wood without any of that hassle! Composite decking and vinyl decking are two fantastic options engineered with the modern homeowner in mind.
Made of PVC, an extremely durable type of plastic, vinyl decking boards are water-resistant and won’t attract pests. It is also incredibly easy to maintain. Just wash it with a hose occasionally–no staining or sanding required!
Composite decking boards are made from wood fibers mixed with plastics. The wood fibers help keep a traditional material and look, while the plastics update it for contemporary use. The result is an aesthetically pleasing, rugged, pest-resistant and easy to maintain product.
We carry TimberTech composite decking and CertainTeed vinyl decking. These industry-leading brands offer a wide array of styles, colors and textures, so we’re certain you can find the decking materials you’re looking for right here at Astro UP!
