A Handy Guide to Picking the Perfect Coating Color for Your Deck

August 19, 2024

Decks are more than just extra square footage outside your home - they’re extensions of your living space, providing a platform for relaxation, entertainment, and creating lasting memories. The right deck color is a major decision that can significantly enhance your outdoor aesthetic. Premier Deck Coating is here to help you make the best choices.


1. Take Into Account Your Home's Exterior


To create a harmonious look, it’s crucial to match your deck’s color to your home's exterior. Our deck coatings come in virtually any color, giving you the freedom to either complement or contrast your home's hue.


2. Reflect on Your Surroundings


Your outdoor environment also plays a vital role in color selection. If your deck overlooks a lush green yard, earth tones or shades of green could be perfect. On the other hand, if you're surrounded by water or sky views, you might consider blues or greys.


3. Consider the Deck’s Primary Use


If your deck endures heavy foot traffic or is often used for entertaining, darker colors will help camouflage wear and tear better. Conversely, if you prefer a serene retreat for relaxing, softer, calming tones are the way to go.


4. Try Before You Buy


Colors can look significantly different under natural sunlight compared to a color swatch in a store. At Premier Deck Coating, we recommend trying out a small amount of your chosen color on your deck’s surface to see how it looks in different lighting conditions before making a final decision.   


5. Don’t Forget about Maintenance


Though our coating is exceptionally durable and repels moisture, darker colors tend to hide dirt and dust better than lighter shades. If maintenance isn't your idea of fun, consider darker hues for easier upkeep.


6. Consult the Experts


Our team is always ready to provide expert advice when it comes to making these decisions. We can guide you to make the right color selection based on your specific needs and preferences.


Picking the perfect color for your deck coating can be a challenging task, but with Premier Deck Coating, you can create a beautiful, long-lasting deck that complements your home and surroundings.


Remember, our product not only allows you to add a touch of individuality to your deck, but it also provides premium protection against harsh weather, UV rays, and water damage. Our superior adhesion technology and built-in ceramic microspheres set us apart from the competition.
