Winter is blowing in around British Columbia. The air is crisp, trees have turned colour and are dropping their leaves of red, yellow, and orange. This can be a great time to resurface worn out patios or complete the installation of your outdoor flooring on a new deck or balcony.
Take advantage of winter months to complete your outdoor flooring project and beat the spring rush
Most people think that winter means putting outdoor projects on hold, but planning and booking through the fall and winter, while it’s quieter, could result in getting your project done sooner and possibly saving money as well.
Socializing and leisure activities are heading indoors, freeing up your patio or deck. This gives you, the homeowner, more flexibility to schedule the installation of your outdoor flooring without the inconvenience of losing access to your outdoor space.
Foot traffic through outdoor plazas and gathering areas declines as the weather worsens. For professional buildings or condo owners needing to resurface or install outdoor terraces, that means reduced inconvenience for traffic flow on surrounding sidewalks and streets
Winter weather doesn’t impact quality installation of outdoor deck or patio flooring
Cold or wet weather does not impact the installation of new deck tiles or porcelain pavers. In all cases involving either interlocking, or structural deck tiles on pedestals, there is no use of grout, nails, or screws to fasten materials in place. Water and small debris simply flow down and away below the tiles.
Oftentimes, resurfacing outdoor flooring can be done right over top of the existing deck or terrace surfaces. In this case, slope, drainage, railings, and underlying membranes are not impacted.
Installing new flooring to outdoor surfaces is usually a straightforward task of covering the newly prepared deck or patio area with your choice of style and materials. In many cases, one day is all it takes to transform your deck, patio, or terrace surfaces.
What type of outdoor flooring is best for British Columbia’s winter weather?
Outdoor flooring materials vary in quality and weather-proofing. Depending on your location, whether your space is covered or exposed, raised or ground level, and how you use this area, there are many choices on the market that will give you the look and function you need.
Wood, composite, and porcelain deck tiles or pavers come in an array of styles, colours, and textures, and vary in degrees of light to heavy-duty use. Investing in good quality materials, service, and warranty will result in keeping your deck or patio looking good and lasting longer than the big-box, cheaper counterparts.
