Outdoor decking undergoes thermal expansion during summer, while interior structures remain climate-controlled. Femgape calculates precise perimeter expansion gaps so that Mreasydeck boards can expand naturally without pressing against the sliding glass door frames. 📋 Direct Comparison: Mreasydeck vs. Traditional Decking Mreasydeck & Femgape Approach Traditional Wood Decking Zero sanding, staining, or sealing Annual staining and periodic board replacements Safety & Texture No splinters, hidden fasteners Exposed screws, warping, and splintering Lifespan 25 to 30+ years 10 to 15 years (depending on wood type) Transition Style Flush, step-free access (Femgape) Obstructed steps and raised door thresholds Sustainability Recycled wood and polymers Fresh-cut timber, chemical stains, and sealants 💡 Best Practices for Installation
