DECKING

Novation™ & Moisture Shield^®

Deck building materials don’t have to be restricted to just using wood. There are other non-wood decking alternatives that you can use that look just as good and are much easier to maintain.

Composite

This durable blend of wood fibers and plastic weathers without disintegrating maintains its shape, does not shrink or expand, and will last the lifetime of the residence. It is dimensionally consistent, won't splinter, has no knotholes, is completely rot-resistant, and requires no annual sealing. Crowe Fence and Deck Supply carries many different brands of Composite decking. MoistureShield being one of them.

MoistureShield^® and LifeCycle^® products are manufactured with a 50/50 blend of recycled wood fibers and plastics. As a company, A.E.R.T.( Advanced Environmental Recycling Technologies), is able to save 271,808,511 pounds of waste from entering the country’s landfills every year. That equals 36 football fields stacked 10 feet high! In each 12’ board there is an average of 889 plastic grocery sacks or 92 plastic water jugs!

PVC

Novation™ and Azek Decking offer a lasting alternative to traditional decking products. They are made with high quality cellular PVC. Carefree maintenance, no painting, staining or sealing!

Wood decking

Cedar

Cedar, a member of the cypress family, is richly colored with heartwood can last anywhere from 9 to 30 years.

Redwood

Redwood has a deep reddish brown color that deepens with age. It is fairly tight-grained and knot-free, lightweight yet strong. Redwood resists splintering and is less damaged by weathering than other woods with heartwood that can last over 30 years.

Ipe

Ipe is a South American wood. Ipe is very durable and resists cupping, splintering and twisting. It is very strong and heavy, is low-maintenance, and will not shrink. Ipe only requires sealant on the ends, but homeowners may choose to seal the wood and maintain its natural color or allow it to weather to a silver-gray while remaining smooth and splinter-free. Ipe is extremely dense and should last over 25 years.
