Does Timbertech Decking Get Hot?

*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.

How hot does Timbertech get?

Vintage Timbertech PVC decking came in at 140 degrees for a dark walnut color. I tested several different Trex and Timbertech plastic capped composites and the range was between 136-140 degrees.

How do I keep my composite deck cool?

If you're choosing plastic and composite decking materials, opt for light and cool shades. It will significantly reduce the temperature during hot seasons. Of course, it also applies to the outside furniture. If you have couches, chairs, and pillows, consider changing their covers to a lighter one.
