Deckorators launches Vault decking

Deckorators has drummed up a brand new line of composite decking that touts strength and stability as its leading virtue.

Vault decking employs the patented Eovations technology, which gives it a remarkably high strength-to-weight ratio, as well as superior stability. The process creates a composite that performs, feels and looks like wood — and even cuts, drills, shapes and fastens as easily as wood. However, it's 35% lighter than WPC and similar in weight to PVC, making it easy for contractors to handle on the job site. It’s also twice as strong as PVC decking based on stiffness-to-weight ratio, and more durable than the strongest lumber in the world, according to the company.

“Deckorators Vault decking is a giant leap forward in wood-alternative decking, and we’re excited to make it available for 2016,” said Chris Camfferman, director of category marketing for parent company Universal Forest Products, Inc. (UFPI).



“It is unique in the true sense of the word: No decking uses this technology, nothing looks or works like it, and nothing on the market lasts as long,” Camfferman said. “It will meet the rigorous needs of deck builders, and is certain to exceed the performance and aesthetic expectations of homeowners. This is the newest and best generation in a product category that was waiting for an extraordinary breakthrough. Vault is it.”

Vault is made of polyolefins and minerals, and features a lightweight but tough composite core with no organic content, making it more resistant to sun, water and microbes.

Deckorators backs Vault with a 25-year structural, 25-year stain-and-fade and 25-year removal-and-replacement warranty.
