Advantages Of Having Decking For Your Home

As we get closer and closer to Spring, temperatures will rise once again. Households around the UK will be able to enjoy the sunshine and spend more time in their gardens. One of the best ways to make the most of warmer weather at home is outdoor dining and lounging out on the decking area.

Have you considered decking for your garden? If not, well, this article might change your mind. We will go through the main advantages of having decking and why it’s well worth the investment. Continue reading to find out why. 

Creates More Functional Space

Decking can be built to suit any garden and any specifications, making it a very versatile investment. If you have uneven ground in your garden, building a raised deck across it will level it out as well as making that space more useful to you. Install decking as a main feature of your favourite garden spot or extend your home with an outdoor decked dining area right outside your back door.

Increases Home Value

Experts say decking can increase the value of your home by up to 10%. Having a deck area can boost your home’s curb appeal, attract potential buyers, and raise the asking price if you ever wish to put your house on the market. A well-installed deck is hard to come by and homeowners always look out for extra value when purchasing a property.

Low Maintenance

Having a deck doesn’t mean more work and maintenance for you. In fact, decking requires little maintenance. All that needs to be done is regular sweeping and a power wash two times a year to lift any stubborn dirt and debris. The good thing about timber decking is it can also be repainted when it needs a refresh to keep it looking its best.

Durable

All our decking boards are pressure treated which improves its durability. This means the boards are coated with a protective level to enhance the timber’s protection from water, UV rays, mould, and insects. This preservative process involves placing the timber boards in a vacuum chamber, which removes all the air within the timber. Once completed, chemical preservatives are forced deep into the wood fibres.

Easy To Install

Decking is a good alternative to a stone patio as it’s a cheaper home improvement and easier to install. However, being cheaper and easier to install doesn’t affect the value decking can bring and transform your garden. Early Spring is a perfect time to install decking, just as the evenings get brighter for longer and before the weather starts to improve.
