Exterior Products - Decking

Easy care drives composite growth

While treated lumber and cedar continue to have their place in the decking market, composites are leading the way.

"That's where all the growth is coming from," says Michael Morrow, president of Outdoor Living/Archadeck of St. Louis, one of the leading deck installers and dealers in the country. "Eighty percent of our business now comes from composites."

Customers are asking remodelers for composites, largely thanks to exposure on the the Internet, television and in print. Consumers are doing their research, Morrow says.

"Composites fit with today's homeowners and their maintenance-free attitudes," he says. "They've got vinyl siding, they've got vinyl windows — they want their deck to be that easy, too."

For remodelers, composites don't require much of a learning curve when it comes to installation. The biggest challenge for most installers new to composites is getting used to hauling the boards, because their higher density makes them heavier than wood, Morrow says. Because of that higher density, Morrow recommends that his installers and his customers predrill before inserting screws to avoid "mushrooming" that can detract from the final look of the deck.

One other area of concern: although composites will not change shape due to moisture gain or loss, the lengths can be affected by severe thermal gain and loss. A 16-foot board will shift about ¼ inch in a 100-degree swing, which is not out of the ordinary in some northern parts of the country throughout the year.


Deckorators

Made in 6- by 6-foot sections, the latest post covers from Deckorators include the Stacked Stone Collection made in the company's canyon, gray and Sedona colors. Each post cover is 24 inches tall and is made of a high-density polyurethane epoxy with a proprietary molding process that mimics the look of stone. Connectors accommodate a variety of rail angles, and the product features a 25-year warranty against cracking, splitting or warping.

A.E.R.T.

Cherry and earthtone colors have been added to A.E.R.T.'s MoistureShield composite decking line. The material has a deep wood grain texture and is made of recovered wood fiber and recycled polyethylene plastic. Colors also include Cape Cod gray, seasoned mahogany, rustic cedar and classic natural. The company provides a 50-year limited warranty.

The beams span 24 inches and are treated with non-toxic chemicals. The decking can be assembled with the company's EZ-Build or Sabre concealed clip fasteners and is available in four colors. The line carries a 20-year limited warranty.

The product line is made in reddish-brown, Winchester grey, saddle (tan) and woodland brown.
