Enjoy Your Space with Heat Resistant Composite Decking

Heat resistant composite decking is ideal for poolside decks and decks in full sun. If you’re the owner of such a deck — or are considering building one — you’ve likely already wondered: Is there composite decking that doesn’t get hot?  Our team at Warren’s Wood Works is often asked this same question.      

While all material will eventually get hot in the sun, the degree of heat buildup (how hot it gets and how fast) will vary.

The Good News: TimberTech® AZEK® decking stays cooler in direct sunlight, so you can enjoy outdoor lounging without the scorched toes.

TimberTech® AZEK®: Engineered for Heat Resistance

While first generation composite decking did get hot in the sun, TimberTech® has innovated beyond first-gen products. TimberTech capped polymer decking is engineered to be cooler to the touch, even in direct sunlight. 

TimberTech AZEK decking, our capped polymer decking line, features advanced materials science in its core and cap that makes it more heat resistant than other composite decking products.

Stays up to 30° Cooler in the Sun

TimberTech® AZEK™ capped polymer deck boards are made with 100% synthetic material, which is less dense than traditional lumber or decking made from composite material and wood flakes. Less density means boards absorb and retain less heat.  They also dissipate heat quickly as well!  

The bottom line? TimberTech® AZEK™ decking is engineered to stay up to 30° cooler than competitive products.* Their capped polymer deck boards are also designed to provide you even more advantages.

How TimberTech™ AZEK® Decking Keeps Things Cool

  • A splinter-free surface that stays safe for bare feet and Fido’s paws.
  • 40% better slip resistance than competitive products.
  • A 50-Year Limited Fade & Stain Warranty so your deck looks beautiful and richly-hued for future generations.

EXPLORE

*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.

TimberTech™ AZEK® deck is by far, we feel, the best deck you can buy!  Let’s put them to the test. Stop by Warren’s Wood Works and grab some samples and put them in a warm sunny space outside and let them bake.  See for yourself the temperature.  Then bring them indoors and see how quickly they cool.  This is the ultimate in cool deck technology.  Our friends at TimberTech® can also ship samples to you at no charge if you are not able to stop in.
