TTIS - Homeowner/decorator division...I've accepted bids for replacing/waterproofing the floor of my deck, and now I'll have to chose the color of the

fiberglass coating. Sorry I can't link to a color chart, but it's a range from cream/ivory to gray, brick red, and dark green. The deck is off the living room outside an 8ft slider. It's south facing so gets direct sun all day. The old floor was some kind of tar & gravel roofing mix and got *hot* Too hot to let the dog out there.

I'm trying to decide between light and dark. Will light (desert sand) reflect the heat into the house, or will dark heat up and then radiate it in?

Anyone have experience with this kind of floor? Particularly in a hot sun location?

Responses:

I believe if it is dark, it will radiate heat and you won't be able to stand on it. I would go for light. -- nm - loosilu Dec 4, 16:30 3
- I think I'm leaning to Desert Sand. That was the color of my original carpet before I replaced it a few years back. - MojaveMeg Dec 4, 16:49 2

oplease tell me how will the room be furnished, and their colors, then I can give a floor opinion -- nm - peglegpete Dec 4, 16:27 4
- The living room currently has blue carpeting, and there is a wedgewood blue that would compliment that, but the carpet is probably more - MojaveMeg Dec 4, 16:40 3
