This family home in The Colony inside Denton County, Texas, had a second-level balcony deck that needed some attention.
After meeting with the homeowners for their complimentary redesign consultation, it was decided that the best course of action for the long term was to reframe and redeck the structure.
A Ground Level Patio Deck Gets A New Covered Roof Overhead In The Process
The beauty of having a balcony deck is that the area under it becomes a protected enclave for an outdoor room with walls – a bonus outdoor living area, if you will.
When the family desires to catch some rays, it’s up the new spiral staircase or back down at the poolside for sunbathing.
After a sun-and-swim, they head under the new balcony deck for some appreciated UV protection and shade, while still enjoying refreshing breezes from the two open areas beneath the deck.
Enhanced Safety And Structural Integrity Can Now Be Enjoyed
Reframing and redecking this balcony deck not only addressed safety concerns and improves structural integrity, but it also transforms the space into a more aesthetically pleasing, functional, and valuable asset to this Texas home.
Over time, balcony decks may deteriorate due to exposure to the elements, leading to safety concerns. Reframing involves reinforcing the underlying structure, ensuring it can support the weight and withstand the stresses of regular use.
By refurbishing the deck with redecking, you can address any potential safety hazards, such as weak or rotting boards, loose railings, or unstable supports. This helps create a secure and stable environment for those using the balcony.
In doing so, for this redesign installation, we used low maintenance TimberTech Edge composite decking. TimberTech Edge composite decking is an excellent choice for redecking projects such as this as it offers a combination of low maintenance, durability, aesthetics, and environmental considerations.
Sustainability Matches With Low Maintenance, Durability And Great Looks
TimberTech redecking products are committed to sustainability. The composite decking boards used here are made from a combination of recycled wood fibers and recycled plastic materials. Choosing composite decking over traditional wood contributes to reducing deforestation and the demand for new timber resources.
When it comes to personal style preferences, you’ll be pleased to learn that TimberTech Edge composite decking offers a range of colors, finishes, and textures to suit various design motifs. Whether you prefer the look of natural wood or a more contemporary style, you can find options that complement your home's aesthetics and create an inviting outdoor space.
Looking toward the future, composite decking is engineered to be highly durable and long-lasting. It is resistant to moisture, rot, and insect damage, which are common issues associated with traditional wood decking. TimberTech Edge composite decking is specifically designed to withstand heavy foot traffic and the elements, ensuring its longevity.
Being virtually care-free, TimberTech Edge composite decking is designed to require minimal upkeep. Unlike traditional wood decking, it does not need to be stained, painted, or sealed regularly. And, it resists fading, staining, and mold growth, making it easier to clean and maintain its appearance over time.
When Looks Matter, Look To Archadeck
Reframing and redecking provides an opportunity to update the appearance of your balcony deck. You can choose from a variety of materials, finishes, and designs to create a visually appealing space that complements the overall aesthetics of your home.
Even better, redesigning the deck during the reframing process allows you to optimize the layout and maximize the available space. You can add features like built-in seating, storage solutions, or additional amenities to make the deck more functional and enjoyable for various activities.
Furthermore, by replacing old and worn-out materials with new ones, you increase the durability and lifespan of the balcony deck. Choosing high-quality decking materials, such as composite decking, can provide excellent resistance to moisture, insects, and UV rays, ensuring a longer-lasting deck.
