Is Zuri as slippery and smooth as it looks?

When compared to other types of decking, Zuri Premium Decking by Royal Building Products looks incredibly smooth. For homeowners without a Zuri decking installer, this can play into the common (and valid) concern about how slippery their decking material is going to be, especially if they have children.

As weather conditions conditions change, slipping can be quite dangerous, so it's important to know: How slippery is Zuri PVC decking, and how does it compare to Zuri competitors?

Is Zuri Decking Really Fade-Free?

One of the biggest concerns surrounding your choice of decking is the issue of fading. This is, of course, a justified worry because decks are exposed to a variety of harsh conditions in DC, Maryland, and Virginia, including wind, sun exposure, rain, ice, and snow. If you live near the ocean or other salted body of water, this can also introduce salt into the mix, which only compounds these concerns. Zuri Premium Decking by Royal Building Products, however, boasts some of the most fade-resistant decking material on the market today.

Zuri's realistic wood finish does not cover the entire deck board

Within the premium decking industry, Zuri has a very unique construction system used for each board. A large part of what makes that system unique is the photorealistic print. This is essentially a picture that replicates the look of a natural wood. Within that constructed system, however, the photorealistic print doesn’t actually wrap all the way around the entirety of the Zuri board, which isn’t something to be concerned about as a consumer.

How is premium Zuri decking by Royal manufactured?

From the first glance, low-maintenance Zuri decking distinguishes itself from Zuri competitors. No other product on the market so closely resembles the look of natural wood, and those aesthetic and quality differences largely come down to how each individual Zuri deck board is produced.

Which Outdoor Heater Should I Use and How Many?

In that case, heaters can certainly make using your outdoor area during the shoulder seasons more comfortable and enjoyable. The question remains, however, which outdoor heaters will be best for your space and how many you will need to make that area as comfortable as possible.
