I would have to agree that mold and mildew are troublesome and can get very aggrivating when you have to deal with it alot. As I have stated previously, I stand behind TimberTech products 100%. They have a mildew inhibitor in their formula that helps prevent mildew and mold from growing in their products. You have to remember when buying anything that will be exposed to the outside elements that mildew can happen and probably will. Take your house siding. It can do the exact same thing. If you do not wash it once in awhile, how is your house going to look after no cleaning or maintenance? Same is true with composite decking, railing and fencing.
I have had great sucess with Corte Clean. The best sealer to use is Sun Frog, found on the web at www.sunfrog.com. I ahve used corte clean and sun frog on the same deck and had great experiences and customers are very pleased.
I would say if you have bought your TimberTech material before they started introducing their mildew inhibitor, that may be why you are having the issues. I believe they started adding it to their formula in 2001 sometime so that would mean the products would have been on the market the next year. Dont be discouraged, it really IS a great product and their new products are even better and improving every year! They even have a new Maintenance Free product called XLM. And it is just that Xtreme Low Maintenance! Great product. Look into that! |
