(ARA) - Summer is just around the corner and the longer days and warm summer breezes will definitely draw more family activity outdoors. Many homeowners are building new decks or adding on to existing ones to accommodate larger seating arrangements and BBQ grills. Decks extend the living space of the home and therefore, homeowners want to bring their interior decorating style to their outdoor environment.

There are many quick and easy “exterior design” projects that can turn your deck into an attractive outdoor masterpiece. A little gardening can add immediate color and style, or new chair cushions can instantly renew your old deck furniture. Refinishing a wood deck can also breathe new life into your backyard and put a new face on outdoor entertaining.

Before you begin a deck project, be aware that during the first month of summer, the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays will hit wood fibers and break down the wood’s natural composition, causing wood to peel, blister and crack. CWF-UV5 Designer Colors Premium Wood Finish, by the Flood Company, both protects and beautifies wood surfaces. CWF-UV5 acts as a sunscreen for exterior wood surfaces, providing extended protection, a mildew-resistant finish and a beautiful color finish that preserves wood.

“CWF-UV5 Designer Colors gives homeowners the freedom to express themselves in color,” says Leslie Segrete, home improvement expert and co-host of The Money Pit, a nationally syndicated home improvement radio program. “It helps to bring your sense of style and flair for color outdoors.”

Flood’s new Designer Colors complement today’s exterior siding colors and landscaping elements, and is ideal for wood decks, siding, fences and furniture. Available in eight designer shades such as Spring Moss, Worn Suede and Grapevine Gray as well as six natural wood tones, the sheer color of the finish won’t hide the natural beauty of the wood, but instead enrich it.

A little color and creativity can turn your deck into an attractive “exterior living room” that provides comfort and pleasure during your outdoor festivities. For more information, and to find a local retailer that sells CWF-UV5 Designer Colors Premium Wood Finish go to www.flood.com or call (800) 321-3444. Courtesy of ARA Content
