Composite Decking and local data in Hoffman Estates
Composite's main tradeoff is surface heat, and in Hoffman Estates sees about 28 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 71 wet days and 111 freeze-thaw days a year make moisture-resistant capped boards a practical advantage over unsealed wood; with about 34 inches of snow, use the ice melt and shovel type the manufacturer allows.
With 60% detached homes, many projects in Hoffman Estates re-deck an existing frame, so joist spacing must be checked against the board's span rating first.
