The different materials for finishing your terrace


26 octobre 2021

The choice of materials for finishing your terrace or patio is wide: concrete, stone slab, ceramic or PVC membrane. But which one is the most suitable, especially for an area where the climate is capricious like Canada? To answer this question, we are going to compare 3 popular coatings, namely concrete, wood and PVC membrane.


Finishing a wooden deck or patio

The wood finish attracts above all with its chic, elegant and rustic appearance. In addition, you have a wide choice of colors or the nature of the coating. However, this type of finish degrades easily and is not really suitable for an area with extreme climatic conditions like Canada. Also, it requires regular maintenance and repair and its price is rather high, especially if you want to have good quality material.


Finishing a concrete deck or patio

The biggest advantage of a concrete finish for your deck or patio is its resistance. This also guarantees optimal longevity, even under extreme conditions. However, it can be slippery on rainy days and waterproofing is not always guaranteed. In addition, it retains heat and therefore prevents you from walking barefoot during the summer.


PVC vinyl membrane deck or patio finish

The PVC vinyl membrane brings together the best of both worlds. Indeed, it is particularly resistant and waterproof in any situation, which guarantees its durability. Also, it does not retain heat and offers you an optimal level of comfort during the summer. In addition, its appearance remains intact even after exposure to the sun. Finally, it is easy to clean and does not require maintenance. In short, this type of finish is to be favored in a region like Canada.

Wood and concrete finishes each have their strengths, but cannot really guarantee optimal comfort in a region like Canada. Instead, we recommend PVC vinyl membranes, which stand out for their resistance, impermeability and non-slip nature. In addition, they do not require any particular maintenance. Bestdeck products are currently among the best on the market and are sold at a reasonable price. See our online catalog for additional information.

La membrane PVC est de plus en plus populaire au Québec, et partout au Canada, pour recouvrir patios, balcons et terrasses. Mais comme tout produit en vogue, elle s’accompagne de son lot d’idées reçues… parfois vraies, souvent fausses, et à l’occasion complètement improbables.
