Manhattan Remodel & Cape Cod Affordable Project


Low-Maintenance Composite Decking Video

The composite deck is complete and the rails are being installed at the Mashpee, Massachusetts home site. Bill Naumann of LP Corp joins Bob to explain how the composite decking is engineered from wasted wood fibers and recycled high-density polyethylene. It is then molded into boards that have an embossed wood grain on one face and a smooth face on the other. WeatherBest decking comes with a ten-year warranty and requires no painting, sealing, or regular upkeep. Composite decking does not go through the same weathering cycles as wood, so it will not shrink, expand, warp, or split. The posts and rails are made of wood fiber mixed with PVC with and extruded vinyl face that makes for a heavy, painted-wood-look finish. The post is a sleeve that drops over the pressure-treated deck post. The bottom and top rails are pre-drilled at the factory and come with all necessary fasteners.
