A Great Way to Expand Your Home's Living Space
Is what used to be your office now the baby's room? Have your desk and computer taken up residence in the formal living room? Are you running out of space to store your growing collection of stuff?
Now that summer is here, it's a great time to reassess how the space in your home is being used. And if you're looking for more creative ways to utilize the space you already have, look no further than the backyard deck - specifically underneath it.
"Expanding a home's outdoor living space is a big trend, and so many newer homes have second or third level decks with space underneath that is basically lost. Utilizing this normally wasted space in the home is easier to do than you may think," says Don Garrison of LockDry Decking.
While typical wood decks have gaps between the boards, providing no shelter from the elements for the area below, those that utilize a watertight aluminum decking system like the one offered by LockDry (www.lockdry.com), can create a beautifully finished and gapless deck that keeps the area under the deck dry, no matter what the weather.
Whether you need extra space for storage, a game room for the kids, a workshop or an entertainment room, the lower level is instantly transformed into usable space when you seal the deck above; and keeping the area dry isn't the only benefit aluminum decking offers over wood and composites.
"Aluminum is the perfect material for decking," explains Garrison. "It is able to withstand the most extreme outdoor elements. It does not rust, rot, warp, or splinter. It will not freeze and crack. It does not contain any chemicals that will leach. It also weights less than half of wood decking and is much stronger."
Installation is simple, and since the decking surface is watertight, no water penetrates to the deck framing, protecting the wooden structure, and your house, from moisture. Kits, which are available directly from LockDry, include trim for a professional, finished looking deck.
Aluminum railing systems are also available to complete your deck. The various styles will complement just about any architectural style, from contemporary to traditional. Choose from cable, glass, picket and decorative styles. They are shipped in pre-assembled sections for easy installation.
In addition, the decking is maintenance free, so you'll never have to replace a rotted, cracked or warped board again. You also won't have to spend a perfect summer day waterproofing, staining or painting the deck. All it takes is periodic cleaning to keep the deck looking great. The aluminum decking stays cool to the touch, has a textured, non-skid powder coat finish, and is available in four beautiful colors, so there's sure to be an option that complements the color scheme of your house.
Once your deck is finished, there's no end to the ways you can decorate it. Add potted or hanging plants - the water runoff won't harm your aluminum deck like it would wood. Add a table with an umbrella and comfortable chairs, and you're set to enjoy the nice weather. The deck is also the perfect place for your grill, as most decks are built off the kitchen. Add some benches for extra seating, and you're ready to entertain.
Each LockDry decking system comes with a limited lifetime warranty. For more information, visit www.fsihp.com or call (888) 739-6172 to request a brochure and decking samples.
