3 Points for Success – from Larry Harnish:
Many composites have had field failures, especially when exposed to moisture, while MoistureShield is the only composite protected to the core against moisture – be sure to check warranties.
Composites can be ripped, routed and bent to form creative decks.
A common complaint with composites is they get too hot in the sun, which is why we developed our Infuse decking with CoolDeck Technology; the boards minimizes heat absorption, for a more comfortable deck.
