Composite Decking and local data in Montgomery County
Composite's main tradeoff is surface heat, and in Montgomery County's covered ZIP codes sees about 22 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 86 wet days and 76 freeze-thaw days a year make moisture-resistant capped boards a practical advantage over unsealed wood; with about 25.3 inches of snow, use the ice melt and shovel type the manufacturer allows.
20% of homes in Montgomery County's covered ZIP codes are attached, where elevated decks are hard to reach for re-staining — a strong case for composite boards.
