PVC Decking and local data in Illinois
PVC boards contain no wood fiber, so the 76 or so wet days a year in our covered Illinois ZIP codes matter most for low decks, pool surrounds and shaded spots where composite or wood would stay damp.
PVC expands and contracts more with temperature than most composites; with about 17 days a year at 90°F or above and 121 freezing nights, end gaps set to the manufacturer's temperature chart on installation day keep seams tight.
Most PVC projects in our covered Illinois ZIP codes are premium re-decks; on homes with a median build year of 1975, the existing frame should be checked for joist spacing and condition before new boards go down.
