Choosing gray deck boards is a bold choice that showcases your design savviness – and it also offers you several benefits including:

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.

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.
AZEK® PVC trim for your fascia and stair risers gives you a chic, clean look and pair beautifully with gray composite decking.
