flooring for outside decking


Vinyl decking made from Cellular PVC is a great choice for decking because it is essentially resistant to stains, mold, insects and fading. PVC material is low maintenance and is a sustainable building material. Gossen solid core cellular PVC decking is 100% American made and is backed up by a Lifetime Limited Warranty. Use the Gossen color visualizer to design the perfect outdoor living area. composite waterproof decking
Versadry™ is unlike other waterproof decking systems that lock together creating a continuous seal at the top requiring water to flow off the deck edges. Although the majority of the water may run off during a heavy rain, much is left on the surface leaving large puddles that can take days to dry up. Versadry™ allows water to run into the Dry Clip channels first allowing the deck surface to drain and dry quickly. The water then flows through these channels and off the deck edge or into a gutter. Versadry™ eliminates puddling and the need to squeegee water off your deck every time it rains. No need to squeegee means lower maintenance and a safer slip resistant deck solution with an under deck dry storage space below. outdoor wall plank
The Versadry™ two piece waterproof aluminum decking systems creates drainage and water flow options. Rain water can be directed to flow to and drain off the edges of the deck or in a specific location in the middle of the deck into a midway gutter. A midway gutter can be installed anywhere between two joists by simply stopping and starting the Dry Clip channels and leaving a two inch gap for the water to drop through. The water then drains into a gutter installed under the bottom of the decking running parallel between any two joists. You can also omit the Dry Clip altogether in an area where the deck doesn't need to be waterproof. These options can all be performed without splicing the planks. The result is a continuous consistent plank look from above, with a dry space storage area below with the water flowing and draining at ideal locations.
I have been thinking of a way to replace an existing deck & provide a water resistant it only covers another deck below so full waterfroof is not needed. I also HATE the gaps in normal decking as they are leaf & stick traps. Leaves will not move when blowing & sweeping is not much better. You have to pull gumleaves out one by one - a PAIN. A flat surface would be so much less work.
Shiplap would still need a gap at the top, and would eliminate the ability of some of the debris to fall through. I've found pine needles are the worst kind of debris. Short of caulking all the joints (a major PITA), it might help to caulk only the part of the joint above the joist to a sloping profile for shedding the debris; or insert a compressed foam triangle there. (Still a PITA, though.)

Traditionally, wood has been used by builders and home owners as material for constructing decks. There is no denying that wood offers an old world charm, especially in the midst of all the concrete and steel your home is made of. But wood also rots. It warps, splits, cracks, and is susceptible to mildew, mold and algae. All in all a homeowner’s nightmare! One may use pressure treated lumber, infused with various salts that prevent wood decay, but as long as your deck is exposed to elements such as sea water, rain, snow and hail, it will rot over time, unless regular maintenance schedules are kept. In fact, of all the areas of your home, decks may need the highest amount of safeguarding. flooring for outside decking
