Ever wondered if there’s a deck material that can handle all the wild weather Mother Nature throws at us here in Anne Arundel County? That’s where TimberTech decking materials come in.
From toasty 80-90° summers to frozen winters, we’re not the only ones who feel the swings in the conditions: our outdoor spaces really bear the brunt!
Whether you’re in the market for a new deck or you need to replace the one you’ve got, you need to know how your decking materials are going to stand up to the year-round weather here in Maryland.
Today we’re going to cover our favorite aspects of TimberTech decking materials, as well as the product lines we offer, and why it could be the right choice for you.
What’s the Deal with Anne Arundel County’s Weather?
Let’s face it, our weather can be a bit of a rollercoaster. We’ve got:
- Temperatures that swing from chilly winters to sweltering summers
- Humidity that can make you feel like you’re walking through soup
- Plenty of rain to keep things interesting
And don’t forget our proximity to the Chesapeake Bay and other waterways, which have their own impacts on our local weather.
All this means your deck needs to be tough as nails to look good year after year.
TimberTech: Engineered to Take on Mother Nature
So, what makes TimberTech decking the secret weapon against our wild weather? It’s all in the engineering.
TimberTech offers lines of composite decking that are built to last, each of which you can find at Johnson Lumber:
- AZEK: The cream of the crop, made from advanced polymers
- PRO: A wood-plastic composite with a protective cap on all four sides
- EDGE: A great starter option for upgrading from wood
Each line of TimberTech decking material brings something special to the table, but they all share some key features that make them perfect for our Anne Arundel County climate.
Beating the Heat (and Cold, and Rain, and…)
Keeping Your Cool
Remember those days when you couldn’t walk barefoot on your deck without doing a little dance? TimberTech’s got you covered.
Their decking stays cooler to the touch, even on the hottest summer days.
Moisture? No Sweat!
With our high humidity and frequent rain, regular wood decks can begin to feel a bit soggy. TimberTech’s moisture-resistant properties laugh in the face of dampness.
Water beads right off, keeping your deck looking fresh and preventing that dreaded mold and mildew.
Sun-Proof and Stylish
UV rays can be brutal, fading and damaging regular decking materials. TimberTech’s color retention technology is like sunscreen for your deck.
It keeps those colors vibrant year after year, so your outdoor space always looks Instagram-ready.
Built to Last, Come Rain or Shine
Anne Arundel County’s weather can sometimes feel like it’s trying to tear your deck apart. But TimberTech decking is up for the challenge:
- It doesn’t expand and contract like wood, so no more warped boards or popped nails.
- Freeze-thaw cycles? No problem. This stuff can handle it without cracking or splitting.
- Long-term, you’re looking at a deck that’ll still be going strong when your kids are grown (and maybe even their kids too).
Looks That Fit Right In
Sure, performance is important, but let’s not forget about style. TimberTech offers colors and textures that’ll make your neighbors green with envy:
- Colors that complement our local architecture, from classic to contemporary
- Textures that not only look great but also provide better grip when things get wet (because safety first!)
Keeping It Clean (Without Breaking a Sweat)
Let’s talk maintenance – or rather, the lack of it. TimberTech decking is a dream come true for busy homeowners:
- Pollen and leaves? A quick sweep or rinse, and you’re done
- No more weekends spent sanding and staining – this stuff keeps looking good with minimal effort
All that means more time for barbecues and less need for chores.
Green in More Ways Than One
No trees harmed in the making of your beautiful new deck! We all want to do our part for the environment, and TimberTech is right there with us:
- Made with recycled materials, so you can feel good about your choice
- Fits right in with Anne Arundel County’s environmental initiatives
