CREATE THE IDEAL SPACE FOR RELAXATION AND SUMMER COMFORT.
Are you planning to build a terrace next to your mobile home? In addition to expanding your living space, a terrace creates a comfortable area for rest and relaxation. If you roof the terrace, you can use it almost all year round. Moreover, a well-designed terrace increases the value of your mobile home.
1) WHAT MATERIALS SHOULD YOU USE TO BUILD A TERRACE FOR A MOBILE HOME?
An outdoor terrace must be resistant to weather conditions, moisture, and mechanical wear. Here are the best materials for building terraces for mobile homes:
a/ WOOD
- Advantages: Natural appearance, pleasant to the touch, good insulation
- Disadvantages: Requires regular maintenance (oiling, impregnation)
Recommended wood types:
Exotic woods (teak, ipe, cumaru) – high durability, long lifespan
Thermowood (thermally modified wood) – higher stability, resistance to rot
Siberian larch – more affordable, but less durable
b/ COMPOSITE BOARDS (WPC – WOOD-PLASTIC COMPOSITE)
- Advantages: Minimal maintenance, high durability, non-slip surface
- Disadvantages: May overheat in direct sunlight, higher price
Composition:
Wood + polymers, combining the advantages of wood and plastic
c/ ALUMINUM AND STEEL TERRACE GRATING
- Advantages: Modern industrial look, high durability
- Disadvantages: Less comfortable to walk on, higher cost
Recommendation by use:
Luxury look + long lifespan: Exotic wood
Low-maintenance terrace: WPC composite boards
Economical solution: Larch
Modern industrial design: Aluminum, steel
2) HOW TO MAINTAIN A TERRACE AT A MOBILE HOME?
a/ WOODEN TERRACES (larch, exotic woods, Thermowood)
Maintenance:
- Regular cleaning: sweeping debris, washing with water and mild detergent
- Once a year (ideally in spring): sanding and applying oil or impregnation
- Protection against mold and pests: use protective products

a/ WOODEN TERRACES (larch, exotic woods, Thermowood)
Maintenance:
- Regular cleaning: sweeping debris, washing with water and mild detergent
- Once a year (ideally in spring): sanding and applying oil or impregnation
- Protection against mold and pests: use protective products
What to avoid:
- Using aggressive chemicals
- High-pressure cleaners (can damage the wood surface)
b/ COMPOSITE TERRACES (WPC – WOOD-PLASTIC COMPOSITE)
Maintenance:
- Washing with water, mild soap, and a soft brush
- Remove stains (e.g. grease) as soon as possible – with soapy water or a special WPC cleaner
- Using aggressive chemicals
- High-pressure cleaners (can damage the wood surface)
b/ COMPOSITE TERRACES (WPC – WOOD-PLASTIC COMPOSITE)
Maintenance:
- Washing with water, mild soap, and a soft brush
- Remove stains (e.g. grease) as soon as possible – with soapy water or a special WPC cleaner
What to avoid:
- Using abrasive cleaning agents
- Excessive pressure when cleaning with a pressure washer
c/ ALUMINUM AND STEEL TERRACE GRATING
Maintenance:
- Washing with water and a neutral detergent
- Regular corrosion checks (for steel grating)
- Using abrasive cleaning agents
- Excessive pressure when cleaning with a pressure washer
c/ ALUMINUM AND STEEL TERRACE GRATING
Maintenance:
- Washing with water and a neutral detergent
- Regular corrosion checks (for steel grating)
What to avoid:
- Using aggressive chemicals that may damage the protective surface
General recommendations for all terraces:
Damage prevention: use pads under furniture to prevent scratching
Remove leaves and debris: minimizes the risk of moss and mold formation
Remove snow carefully in winter: do not use metal shovels that may damage the surface
- Using aggressive chemicals that may damage the protective surface
