If your deck is in an area that is exposed to the sun all day, every day, you may be better off opting for a lighter colour deck such as our Eas圜lean Legacy Vintage White. The same principle applies to your deck, regardless of manufacturer. When you wear a black shirt, for example, you're likely to feel much hotter whilst sat in the sun than if you were wearing a white shirt.
Any material that sits in the all-day sun will get warm. This may seem like an odd thing to think about when it comes to choosing the colour of your deck, but it actually has a significant impact. To ensure your decking and house colour are in harmony, we advise that you stick to either warm or cool undertones for both! Consider sun exposureĪnother consideration to take into account is the amount of sun that your outdoor space is exposed to. Grey is considered to be a neutral colour, with undertones decidedly being both warm and cool (cool huh?). Anyway, according to the colour wheel, undertones of yellow, orange or red result in warmer colours and undertones of blue, green or violet result in cooler ones. ( Pictured - Eas圜lean Terrain Stone Ash) Never underestimate undertonesĪll decking colours have either warm or cool undertones, something which you may have learnt in school, whether you were successful or unsuccessful in doing so is another matter altogether. Home is white - Any colour deck will work here.Home is red, grey or blue - Decking of similar colour or grey will work.Home is yellow, beige, brown or tan - Any brown or grey decking will work.
Leading nicely from our previous point, your home is the biggest feature of your outdoor living space, so you'll want your deck to complement it! By choosing a complementary colour and tone, you will ensure that your deck has enough character of its own to stand out and be set apart from your home, whilst not making too much noise. Either way, grouping all of your options into clear segments such as 'Greys', 'Browns', 'Silver' or 'Whites' and picking which colour group you like best is guaranteed to make your decision process a whole lot smoother. You may, for example, love a natural wood look so are more tempted to go with a wood-like colour such as brown, or you may have a coastal home and want your deck to complement this with grey boards. Start with the basic colour groupsĭespite not knowing exactly which colour you'd like your new deck to be, chances are that you'll have a tendency to lean towards certain colour groups, so that is always the best place to start. Here at TimberTechUK for example, we have a total of 6 colour types, each consisting of different shades, tones and tints, resulting in a total of 16 different boards! So, it's completely understandable if you're standing there scratching your head trying to decide between teak decking and walnut decking, or Storm Grey and Maritime Grey! But you shouldn't let the selection intimidate you, there are a number of tips that help make choosing the right coloured deck a breeze let's take a look. Choosing the right colour for your new TimberTech composite deck may seem challenging at first thought, due to the sheer size of the decision with the number of options available to you.
