perfect escape for mild-weathered days while the covered portion provides a warm and protected place to enjoy your
deck in any weather. Our Operable Mosaic Glass Forest Wind Wall Systems™ allow you to control the environment
by opening or closing the space depending on wind and weather. Custom features are chosen to provide an inviting
and comfortable space where you’ll experience the best of all four seasons.

What Unbelievable Outdoor Living Opportunities
Would You Enjoy in Your Year-Round Deck?
16
We LOVE this deck and are
so delighted with the finished
product!! We have had a
number of office gatherings,
family over for the holidays,
and high school kids here on
a weekly basis they have all
said what a great deck it is! We
know that the enjoyment we
have gotten out of it so far is
just the beginning. :-)
“We spend more
time outside than
inside now.”
We absolutely love our deck! The best thing of all is constantly
getting comments about how awesome it is and how much everyone
loves being out there. We spend way more time out there than in
the house...especially this time of year!! We have even been sleeping
out there, in the rain! (under the covered part of course.) So - thanks
again to all of you for creating such an amazing space that has been a
blessing to the many, many people we’ve had over.
17
I have just come inside after enjoying a lovely late summer
afternoon out on our beautiful deck. This stunning deck has
increased the enjoyment of our home and adds architectural
beauty to the entire neighborhood. Mosaic Masterpieces did
a splendid job building this much-needed outdoor addition to
our mountain home and the completed project has certainly
met all of our high expectations.
“We sit in front of our fireplace with
the glass walls open, it’s like camping
without leaving home.”
“We had a party on the deck and everything
was perfect; the fire pit was a huge hit! We
couldn’t be happier with our new deck . . .
thank you for making it possible.”
“Some of the best
conversations of
our marriage have
happened while
hangin’ by the fire.”
18
Thought I would send a note and let
you know how much we are enjoying
our new deck. Ever since the glass
went in two weeks ago, we have been
spending a lot of time out there and
we had our first party yesterday.
Everybody was quite impressed!
We love the glass and being able to
control the wind and temperature by
opening or closing the doors. I take
my computer out there and work and
am enjoying our beautiful view every
second that I can.
“We no longer have to
compete with wind and
weather, we love it!”
“This was not only an
incredible addition to
our home, but even
more so, to our lives.”
“We went from
having an ordinary
house, to one we
never want to leave.”
19
Our passion is creating Outdoor Spaces that
can be enjoyed every single day of the year.
We hope our Idea Book inspires you to imagine how a Mosaic Year-Round Deck could change your daily life.

Keys to designing your deck
BEFORE: This deck was too
small for the clients’ needs.
AFTER
The first Key is to determine the right size for your space. Consider the desired
uses for your deck, the size of your family and how often you plan to entertain.
21
BEFORE: Our clients wanted a larger
deck they could use year round.
Adding a roof and increasing the size of the deck has dramatically improved
our clients’ ability to entertain family and friends any day of the year.
22
Many people believe that . . .
. . . the decking is the most important element
of a maintenance free deck, but it’s actually the
combination of the decking and structural frame.
Composite decks with wood frames still require
maintenance and can rot in as little as five years.
Wood frames warp, bow and twist. Today’s flexible composite
decking follows the wood frame resulting in a wavy deck.
The second Key is to understand the importance of making your Year-Round Deck maintenance free.
23
There is more to a maintenance
free deck than just the decking!
BEFORE: This is a typical wood frame that
shows little to no sign of rotting on the outside
but is completely rotten on the inside.
I
n 26 years of
business we have
replaced over 4000
decks due to rotting
wood frame systems.
AFTER: The Mosaic Forever Frame combined with premium composite decking
looks great, will never need to be replaced and is backed by our lifetime guarantee.
TM
24
This deck now has the fail-proof combination of a Mosaic Forever Frame and Maintenance Free
Decking System to create a beautiful year-round Outdoor Living space that will last a lifetime.
25
A great design integrates with your home
AFTER
BEFORE: The key to this
project was integrating the
deck and roof with the home.
The Third KEY is to integrate the space with the style and architecture of your home.
26
A custom designed wall captures the views and
solves our clients’ wind and privacy issues.
BEFORE: Surrounding
homes and constant wind
defined this unused deck.
The FOURTH KEY is to solve any wind or privacy issues.
27
The FINAL Step is to choose features that will help you use and enjoy your new Year-Round Deck.
28
Our clients chose these
features to complete their
outdoor living theme:
• Built in BBQ and bar
• Glass Forest Wind Walls
TM
• Infra red gas heaters
• Custom lighting
• Sound system
• Fire hearth
“We had a party on the deck and everything was perfect; the fire pit
was a huge hit! We couldn’t be happier with our new deck . . . thank
you for making it possible.” — Michelle Madd

Planning your
Year-Round Deck
project to fit
A
Year-Round Deck can be an
incredible addition that truly
enhances your daily life.
But what does it cost . . . ?
30
Like building a custom home, the size and features you choose will determine your
final cost. A successful design must ultimately . . . marry the project to a budget.
31
By designing projects in a staged master plan, our clients have the flexibility to choose the scale of project that works best for them.
