In Minnesota, residents love the outdoors and take pride in their outdoor living just as much as their inside living; if not more in some cases. Winter time is a lot of fun in Minnesota, when new activities come about, but this means you likely won’t be spending as much time on your deck as you do during the summer. Every winter a home’s deck is exposed to the harsh winter elements and not all materials can stand up to the challenge without incurring some kind of damage.
Luckily, if you choose Trex decking, you’ll be able to enjoy an appealing deck each and every year, no matter how cold it may be outside. Our deck design process has a lot to do with it and our Iron River Construction deck experts will gladly go over this process with you.
Why Choose a Trex Deck?
While you likely use your deck the most in the summer time, it doesn’t mean the deck doesn’t still exist in the winter time. How does your current deck hold up to the colder months right now? Most homeowners choose wood because they like the visual appeal, however many don’t consider its ability to resist moisture and freezing; or lack thereof.
You might not notice your wood deck has any damage right away, but after a few winters it should start to become more noticeable. Cracking in the wood or even warping comes from persistent freezing, lessening the stability and appeal of the deck. Excess moisture causes wood to rot, leaving you to add more maintenance tasks to your summer ‘to-do’ list.
If you want a material that will last year after year and has quality, durability and strength, you want Trex decking. Made of composite materials, you can expect any maintenance to be minimal, no refinish or repair will be needed regularly as with other deck materials. The composite material that makes up Trex can withstand very high temperatures and resists cracking, warping or rotting. The color won’t fade or experience chipping so there is no need to refinish it every year. If you’re contemplating Wood or Trex decking, you can learn from our decking page.
