What Makes TimberTech® Decking Special

A deck is one of the biggest investments a homeowner will make in their home. Creating a space that combines beauty, functionality, and performance relies on a great builder as well as an ideal set of materials. TimberTech® offers a broad range of decking and railing options that deliver on style and durability, backed by the support and resources to make sourcing and installation easier up and down the channel.

What sets TimberTech® apart? Consider these attributes.

Beauty of Wood Without the Upkeep

The true selling power of TimberTech® decking is that it combines beauty, innovation, and practicality-so it sells itself.

Unlike many companies that offer either composite or PVC decking, TimberTech® offers both, which means more options to meet the unique needs of homeowners. These two high-performance alternative decking products come in a wide and growing collection of styles to deliver on the looks your customers want most-rich grains, authentic textures, and designer colors. And while the beauty of TimberTech® will sway a customer, it's the benefits that seal the deal.

TimberTech® Advanced PVC Decking and TimberTech® Composite Decking are designed to look as beautiful as real wood, but that's where the comparison to wood ends. Engineered to outperform and outlast traditional wood decking, TimberTech® boards maintain their just-installed beauty day after day, year after year. Both products offer the added benefits of unparalleled durability with industry-leading warranties, no-hassle maintenance, insect resistance, sustainability-and long-term cost savings.

TimberTech® Advanced PVC Decking

Made with up of 100% engineered polymer materials, with a core of approximately 60% recycled material and a super-durable protective cap, TimberTech® Advanced PVC Decking is the manufacturer's most durable and best performing product. A range of unique styles is available, including exotic wood looks in the Vintage Collection® and crosscut hardwood grains in the Landmark Collection, along with added design versatility with multiwidth decking available in some collections. Advanced PVC decking is backed by an industry-leading lifetime limited product warranty and a 50-year fade and stain limited warranty.

TimberTech® Composite Decking

Innovative TimberTech® Composite Decking offers realistic wood looks that go way beyond traditional composite decking. The boards are engineered using a blend of up to 85% recycled plastic and wood fibers along with a proprietary polymer cap that helps protect against fading and moisture. The composite decking is available in a range of styles, including the Legacy Collection with a hand-scraped finish and the Reserve Collection with a reclaimed wood aesthetic. Each collection carries a 25- or 30-year fade and stain limited warranty along with a generous limited warranty.

Fire Resistance

Two of the TimberTech® Collection proprietary Advanced PVC decking collections-Vintage and Landmark-combine authentic wood looks with unparalleled performance while also offering an Ignition Resistant designation, a Class A Flame Spread Rating, and WUI Compliance.

In addition, TimberTech® offers four collections-Harvest, Porch, Reserve (fire-resistant SKUs only), and Premier (square-shouldered boards only)-that are WUI-compliant and carry a Class B Flame Spread Rating.

Sustainability

Though sustainability isn't usually the top concern for homeowners, it provides an added value they'll be proud to brag about. The TimberTech® Advanced PVC and Composite lines are made from up to 60% and 85% recycled material, respectively, and the company's commitment to sustainable practices doesn't end there. In fact, the company has diverted 500 million pounds of waste from the landfill since 2001. In addition, 96% of water is recycled in their closed-loop production facilities.

Tools and Resources to Support You at Every Step

TimberTech® support begins the minute you introduce their products to your customers. Start with the decking overview to easily highlight the key benefits and differences of the Advanced PVC and Composite options, then leverage the deck plans and inspiration gallery to guide the design process.

In fact, aligning with TimberTech® as the single manufacturer for all decking, railing, fasteners, accessories, and aluminum framing offers a number of benefits to both your contractor and homeowner customers in addition to knowing they offer proven performance across the deck.

Contractors working with products manufactured by TimberTech® across all categories can enjoy labor warranties, rebate benefits, and customer support and training, along with the benefits of working with a single manufacturer on warranties.

For homeowners, choosing TimberTech® for their outdoor oasis brings a broad range of product styles, colors, and price points while delivering reassurance on performance and fire resistance. Plus, working with a TimberTech®-certified contractor brings peace of mind that the job will be done right the first time.
