Pairs Well With Any Style

What this means for you: Whether you live in a coastal escape, a southern estate, or a mid-century modern home, gray will work for you.

Cooler to the Touch

Lighter grays are often cooler to the touch than other colors. TimberTech® AZEK® decking is up to 30° cooler* than competitive products.

What this means for you: Excellent decking material for pool sides and areas that get a lot of sun.

*Although TimberTech AZEK decking products are cooler to the touch than many other deck board products, all decking products will get hot in the sun. Additionally, the darker the decking color, the hotter it will feel. For hotter climates, consider choosing a lighter color.

Make Gray Pop With a Picture Frame

Use different colored deck boards along your deck’s perimeter in a picture frame pattern to make the gray pop. Choose a deck board in the same gray color family to create a more cohesive look, or go bold with deck boards in our brown or tan color families.

Use PVC Trim for Fascia & Risers

Deck fascia boards run along the perimeter of your deck and are sometimes called “rim joist covers.” Stair risers are the boards in between each step.
