1. AZEK Building Products

Four new colors have been added to the Porch line of high-performance, capped polymer boards by AZEK Building Products. The new colors are Mahogany (shown), Dark Hickory, Coastline, and Weathered Teak—all variegated colors inspired by exotic hardwoods, with a wire-brushed, natural matte finish. They join the other Porch colors: Slate Gray, Brownstone, Silver Oak, Oyster, and Morado. Covered by a 30-year limited fade and stain warranty and a limited lifetime warranty.  

2. CaliBamboo

CaliBamboo has relaunched its bamboo composite decking, calling it BamDeck 4G. The planks are scalloped on the bottom and grooved on the sides for easy installation with Cali’s universal hidden fastening system. Planks come in slate (shown), coffee, and charcoal colors and two sizes—wide (8 foot long and 8¼ inch wide) and extra-long (16 foot long and 57⁄16 inch wide). Made of 60% reclaimed bamboo fiber and 40% recycled HDPE, they resist mold, mildew, and insects.

3. WeatherStrong

A new custom-made cabinetry line from WeatherStrong installs in less time and for more profit, according to the company. Made in the U.S. from a 3/4-inch-thick, marine-grade waterproof polymer, this outdoor cabinetry withstands harsh elements—pounding rain, hot summers, and cold and snowy winters, according to the company. Features include 316-grade stainless steel door pulls, hinges, and drawer runners. The wood grain texture embossed surface comes in four styles and three colors.  

4. Deckorators

Voyage is a line of composite decking from Deckorators, a brand of Universal Forest Products Inc. This wood-alternative decking features patented Eovations technology. Voyage absorbs virtually no moisture and allows no thermal expansion or contraction. Like other members of the Eovations decking family, Voyage also delivers the best strength-to-weight ratio, according to the company. Its textured embossing offers superior traction on the deck surface, along with the look of vertical grain variegation. 

5. Trex

Trex upgraded its Transcend Earth Tones Decking line, introducing a more natural, refined grain pattern that makes it more compatible with the Trex Transcend Tropical Collection. While the grain pattern is new, these boards come in the same nature-inspired color palette: Tree House, Vintage Lantern, Fire Pit, Gravel Path, and Rope Swing. The boards can be paired with matching Trex Transcend railing colors. Comes with a 25-year limited residential fade and stain warranty. 

6. AZEK Building Products

The deck comes with a limited lifetime warranty and is the first in the OPTIMA Outdoor Living line of deck-related products.
