MoistureShield Infuse decking captures Product Innovation Award
MoistureShield Infuse composite decking with CoolDeck technology has been awarded an Architectural Products magazine Product Innovation Award 2017.
Judged by a panel of more than 40 industry professionals, the award is given to products that excel in innovation.
MoistureShield’s CoolDeck technology is the first of its kind, and is a solution to homeowners’ concerns of composite deck surface temperature. MoistureShield’s CoolDeck technology optimizes heat reflection to provide a cooler, more comfortable deck. The boards absorb up to 35% less heat than conventional capped composites in similar colors, for a noticeably lower surface temperature in direct sun.
Although any dark-colored decking absorbs sunlight, and can heat up, composites are denser than wood decking, leading to some products becoming too hot to touch. Hot decking limits time on the deck, especially for barefoot children and pets.
MoistureShield Infuse decking is made with 95% total recycled content (38% post-consumer, 57% pre-consumer), including recycled milk jugs, grocery bags, pallet wrap, waste pallets and construction debris. MoistureShield backs its Infuse decking with a transferable lifetime residential warranty, supplemented with a 25-year fade and stain warranty. Infuse can be installed on the ground, in the ground or even under water.
MoistureShield and ChoiceDek brands are produced by Advanced Environmental Recycling Technologies, part of the Architectural Products Group of Oldcastle. AERT is a vertically integrated manufacturer of composite decking boards and related products, serving a range of retail and distribution customers across North America and several international markets.
