Generally, yes, darker colors tend to absorb more heat than lighter ones, with a temperature difference of about 9°F between the lightest and darkest shades. PVC boards, such as Clubhouse, Woodbridge, and Lanai, are more efficient at dissipating heat compared to recycled plastic composites like TruNorth. Additionally, enviroboards feature holes that help reduce heat retention. For decks exposed to sunlight most of the time, opting for lighter colors is advisable to mitigate heat build up. Furthermore, all board capping includes a UVB protector ingredient, enhancing their ability to manage heat effectively and providing added protection against sun damage.
