Composite Decking and local data in DuPage County
Composite's main tradeoff is surface heat, and in DuPage County's covered ZIP codes sees about 17 days a year at 90°F or above. Color can be chosen mostly on looks, though full-sun decks still run cooler in lighter tones.
About 76 wet days and 98 freeze-thaw days a year make moisture-resistant capped boards a practical advantage over unsealed wood; with about 24.3 inches of snow, use the ice melt and shovel type the manufacturer allows.
With 59% detached homes, many projects in DuPage County's covered ZIP codes re-deck an existing frame, so joist spacing must be checked against the board's span rating first.
