THE THINGS YOU CAN DO

Looking for a new deck design idea? Something a little different, maybe with a twist? In addition to exploring color options, try bending or curving planks to create a deck as unique as you are.

TimberTech offers you design alternatives for color, texture, and shapes that can create distinctive patterns and make your deck one of a kind.

Bend It. Shape It.

Unlike traditional treated wood, TimberTech planks can be curved and bent to create customized looks.

Curving results in more fluid-looking lines in your deck design. If you’re considering a more natural, less grid-like appearance, this is an excellent solution.

The process of curving the planks requires training in the proper techniques as well as specific tools, so it is recommended that only professionals who have received the appropriate instruction attempt it.

True Colors

TimberTech offers 17 different options for plank colors and styles, so homeowners have plenty of choices. Feel free to mix-and-match TimberTech products to best complement other outdoor features of your home to create a look all your own.

If you want a look that resembles exotic hardwoods, you have options like Tropical Walnut, Tropical Teak, and Tropical Rosewood. If you're more interested in solid colors, Mountain Cedar, RiverRock and SandRidge are available.

Take a look at the primary and accent colors on your home's exterior. Do you want your deck to blend in, or complement and "frame" the outside? Also, take any significant landscaping features into consideration, such as large trees, slopes, or rocks

You can use two or more different colors to create inlaid designs and patterns. In addition, a border in a complementary color can outline the perimeter of the deck.

Railing Considerations

Your deck's railing is an important design consideration as well. TimberTech's RadianceRail® provides a clean, sleek look for your deck with no exposed hardware.

TimberTech's BuilderRail™ system offers maximum visibility through the rails with black metal balusters installed in low-maintenance composite rails in Cedar, Gray and Redwood colors.

Curved railings are yet another option to give your deck a custom finishing touch. TimberTech's RadianceRail and Ornamental Rail Systems can be bent to your specifications, providing the finishing touch to your customized creation.

No matter what your design preferences may be, rely on TimberTech to provide you with the options to make sure that your home is a true reflection of you.
