Underdecking provides several benefits that are functional, appealing, and innovative. Without UnderDeck systems, elevated decks create a wet and dark space underneath where you can often find mildew and mold. By getting a deck ceiling system installed, precipitation will be collected and moved away from the home through a reliable gutter system. This creates a dry and bright outdoor living space below the deck that can be used throughout the fall, summer and spring seasons. Keep reading to learn the top 3 advantages of raintight UnderDeck drainage systems.
Practical and Protective
Installing a ceiling drainage system is the easiest way to ensure your deck’s safety. The material used in this process will protect the wood, beams, and joists to prevent decay and rot. Unlike competitors, our 15-year warranty product is safe in all weather conditions – even throughout brutal Michigan winters, you will not have to worry about frozen water in the system destroying your deck. It protects the lower level area under the second level deck from debris, water, and moisture.
This practical investment will never develop mildew, mold, fade or rust and can easily be cleaned with mild soap and water. Panels can be removed at any time, whether one needs to be cleaned or you want to install electrical wiring, you can do so without disturbing surrounding panels. The installation process is quick and simple, the panels are a breeze to cut and they fit perfectly around vents.
Double Your Outdoor Space
When you install a gutter system like this, your outdoor space will be completely transformed. This process, unlike other similar home improvements, only decreases the headroom under a second story deck by about 2 inches. Depending on how much vertical distance under the deck you have to begin with, adding a raintight UnderDeck drainage system can double your living space outside.
This underdeck ceiling system will transform an area that was once wet and dirty to a dry space that is safe from the elements. Many homeowners use their new UnderDeck area for storage, to host parties, or even just as an extra living room. The opportunities with the new space are endless, whether you want to be dry while it rains, need a break from the sun, or want to enjoy a nice bonfire without a ton of bugs, an UnderDeck system can make it possible.
Increase the Value of Your Home
A home improvement like a deck drainage system will instantly increase the value of your home. By adding an entire extra livable area as well as installing a reliable drainage system, your home will become much more appealing to potential buyers in your market. This is an extremely beneficial home upgrade because by installing a raintight deck, you are ensuring that rain, snow and other elements are going to be pushed away from your home, leaving you with a dry and comfortable living environment. UnderDeck systems also give you the ability to design your new space however you want – you can add ceiling fans, LED lights, chandeliers, swings, and even speakers.
