Located on the eastern part of Long Island is the town of Brookhaven. A patchwork of connected communities including the ‘Three Villages’ of Old Field, Stony Brook, and Setauket. Touching both Long Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean, the area features miles of beautiful coastline. You’re never more than a 30-minute drive from fine white sand, beach trails, boardwalks, shore-side restaurants, and spectacular views.
Like other coastal areas in the Northeast, Brookhaven experiences all four seasons. The summers are warm and humid, while the winters are cold and snowy. Composite decks have several advantages over traditional wood decks in four season climates due to their durability and low maintenance requirements.
When it came to replacing the roof top deck of a residential home in East Setauket, Drew Bergmann with Kingdom Contracting decided upon DuxxBak® Dekk. “We chose Duxxbak decking because of the ease of installation and quality of the product. After receiving the samples, I could tell this was an A+ product. We needed a solution for an existing over-sunroom deck and Duxxbak was a great choice.”
Designed to withstand issues that commonly affect wood deck boards, composite decking excels in resisting moisture absorption. A feature that prevents warping, splintering, and rotting, unlike wood. DuxxBak® decking has the lowest moisture-absorption rate of any composite product in the decking industry—even lower than cellular PVC. This is particularly beneficial in climates with varying weather conditions, like East Setauket.
Compared to wood, composite decking can withstand extreme temperatures. It is also less susceptible to expansion and contraction caused by temperature, making it highly suitable for East Setauket’s climate. Both time and weather tested, DuxxBak® composite decking is the ultimate in weather-defying, low-maintenance decking.
Easy to install and maintain, composite decking is relatively straightforward for those with basic construction experience. While it’s similar to installing wood decking, composite decking requires specific clips and fasteners, and proper spacing between boards to allow for expansion and contraction. It’s actually easier to work with than wood!
“Make sure to follow the directions and don’t be intimidated. The waterproofing details are easy to follow and easily customizable to your specifications.”
And with DuxxBak® Dekk installed on your roof top, you’ll never be concerned about what’s happening on the deck above because heavy rain or melting snow will be diverted out over the deck’s edge.
Compared to wood, which requires regular staining and sealing, composite decking needs minimal upkeep. An occasional cleaning will keep it looking great. DuxxBak® composite decking will allow you to enjoy your deck instead of working on it. No painting, staining, or waterproofing…EVER!
“The Duralight team was very helpful. The customer is very happy with the project, and I would definitely use the product again.”
Composite decking is a robust and long-lasting choice for East Setauket’s four seasons, offering superior resistance to the elements compared to wood. DuxxBak® composite decking boards are scientifically formulated to last a lifetime no matter what nature throws its way.
DuxxBak® Dekk is a water-shedding, no-drip through, solid surface deck system. These durable deck boards feature a unique interlocking design that channels water off your deck and away from your home, creating a dry and usable outdoor living space below.
