Low Maintenance Outdoor Leisure Enjoyment On A Front Porch Custom Built With Non-wood Building Materials
Many homeowners in Belle Meade Highlands invest in outdoor amenities to enhance their living spaces. Expansive front porches and rear decks that are well-appointed and highly functional have become the focal points for social gatherings and family events.
This client wanted us to reinvent their front porch making it totally maintenance-free, so TimberTech Advanced PVC by AZEK building materials were specified for their dependability.
Why TimberTech Advanced PVC by AZEK Is Always At The Top Of Our Low Maintenance Materials List
TimberTech Advanced PVC by AZEK, a brand known for its high-performance, low-maintenance decking and porch products, offers several benefits that make it an attractive choice for these outdoor spaces.
1. Resistance to Moisture and Mold: AZEK products are engineered to resist moisture, making them less prone to issues such as rot, warping, and mold growth. This is particularly advantageous for front porches and backyard rear decks, as these areas are constantly exposed to the elements. The resistance to moisture ensures that the material remains durable and attractive over time. There are no wood fibers in the boards.
2. No Painting or Staining Required: AZEK products are made with excellent UV resistance. This means that the color is built into the material, reducing the need for painting or staining. Homeowners can enjoy the aesthetic appeal of their front porches and rear decks without the hassle of regular painting or staining maintenance.
3. Easy Cleaning: AZEK products are easy to clean with just soap and water. This simplifies the maintenance process, allowing homeowners to keep their front porches and backyard decks looking pristine without the need for specialized cleaning agents or labor-intensive maintenance routines.
4. Long Lifespan: AZEK materials are engineered for longevity. The durable construction and resistance to various environmental factors contribute to a longer lifespan compared to some traditional decking materials. This durability reduces the frequency of replacements, making it a cost-effective and low-maintenance choice in the long run.
5. Insect Resistance: Unlike natural wood, AZEK is not susceptible to insect damage. This feature is particularly advantageous for outdoor structures like decks and porches, where insects can pose a threat to the structural integrity of traditional wood materials. With AZEK, homeowners can enjoy peace of mind knowing that their outdoor spaces are less vulnerable to insect-related issues.
6. Sustainability: AZEK boards are made from 60% recycled material, including post-construction scraps like vinyl siding and trim. And at the end of its’ useful life, it is fully recyclable. A green PVC decking product like no other on the market.
A True Joint Effort In Perfecting A Low Maintenance Transformation For Both The Front Porch And The Backyard Rear Deck In Belle Meade Highlands
The great thing about this transformation outdoor living and utility upgrade is that the homeowners – who were avid gardeners – knew exactly what they wanted us to achieve.
These front porch people are extremely fastidious, tidy and neat so understandably they wanted everything as maintenance-free as possible, so our team went to great lengths to make sure that is precisely what we did for them.
Accessorized with vibrant red pillows on the white rocking chairs, it all complements the bright red door, resulting in a sweet porch.
We used our PVC picket panels from The Porch Store, and we put an AZEK cap rail on top of each section, creating a flat surface for a cool drink.
We used Hermitage Sleeves from The Porch Store for wrapping the stair posts.
Critter control is a concern for many homeowners. Skirting was installed at the base to keep wandering little creatures out. Holding true to the low maintenance schema, more AZEK building material was deployed for that detail.
A Rear Deck That Is The Ultimate Blend Of Outdoor Living Comfort, Functionality And More
This residence also had a back rear deck with the framework already established, but the decking had seen better days and needed to be replaced.
The homeowners had a nifty way to accommodate hiding their trash cans. Trap doors were built on the deck that lifts up to expose the trash cans below. While the original design was clever, it was made of wood. Aged, splintered wood needed to be redone. AZEK again was specified in this portion of the project. No painting or touch up needed in the years to come.
From the street side view, there are the two white gates that open keeping the trash can hidden until they are rolled out for collection. Brilliant, we think. It’s a great way to comply with HOA rules and regulations in good taste and high style.
