Transform Your New England Deck with Stunning Lighting
As the days stretch longer in beautiful New England, you deserve to savor every moment on your deck! If you’re interested in investing in the enduring beauty and performance of a Timbertech deck, you can create a fantastic foundation for outdoor living.
But we can take an ordinary deck design to the next level. Imagine how the right lighting can transform your outdoor space from functional to magical as the sun sets.
At Almar we’ve seen how thoughtfully designed lighting can transform your New England deck from simple platforms to captivating extensions of your home. Let’s explore the possibilities together!
Make Your Deck Welcoming and Safe
- Stair Riser Lights: Prioritize Safety with Style. Evening safety is paramount, and you can achieve it beautifully. Installing low-profile LED lights on your deck stair risers not only illuminates the path for you and your guests but also adds a touch of sophisticated glow. You’ll find these are essential for easy navigation after dark, and they add lovely architectural detail. It’s a win-win!
- Post Cap Lights: Define Your Space with Classic Elegance. A timeless choice that integrates seamlessly with Timbertech railing systems, post cap lights offer a gentle, downward-facing illumination. They’re perfect for outlining your deck’s perimeter and providing a warm, inviting ambient light without being overpowered.
- Deck Rail Lights: Versatility to Suit Your Needs. Mounted directly onto your deck rails, these fixtures offer wonderful flexibility.
- In-Deck Lighting: Achieve Sleek, Modern Sophistication. Flush-mounted LED lights installed directly into your decking boards create a stunningly sleek and modern look. Strategically placed to highlight pathways, outdoor furniture groupings, or architectural features, they offer a subtle yet powerfully effective way to define distinct zones on your deck. You’ll love the refined ambiance they create!

Important Considerations for New England Homeowners:
- Durability: Invest in Long-Lasting Quality. Choose lighting fixtures specifically designed for outdoor use. They need to withstand New England’s diverse weather – rain, snow, and temperature fluctuations. Prioritize durable materials and robust weatherproof ratings.
- Energy Efficiency: Embrace Sustainable Solutions. We strongly recommend opting for LED lighting fixtures. They’re incredibly energy-efficient, boast a long lifespan, and offer a variety of color temperatures to perfectly match your preferences. You’ll save energy and enjoy beautiful lighting for years to come.
- Coastal Considerations: Protect Against Salt Air. If your home is directly on the coast, you’ll want to select fixtures made from corrosion-resistant materials, such as marine-grade stainless steel or brass, to effectively withstand the corrosive effects of salt air. This is a crucial step for longevity!
- Professional Installation: Ensure Safety and Performance. For your safety and the optimal performance of your lighting system, we always recommend professional installation. At Almar, we can seamlessly integrate your lighting plan with your deck installation.
