New composite decking will be featured at International Builders’ Show® (IBS)Deckorators® Announces Availability of VoyageTM Slip-Resistant Decking
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., February 6, 2019 – Deckorators®, a leading brand of Universal Forest Products, Inc. (Nasdaq: UFPI), announces the availability of Deckorators VoyageTM composite decking. The slip-resistant decking is now available to deck builders through the Deckorators distribution network.
Like other members of the Deckorators EovationsTM decking family, Voyage composite decking is 35 percent lighter than most wood-plastic decking, twice as strong as PVC decking, absorbs virtually no moisture, and offers the industry’s lowest thermal expansion/contraction. It is backed by an industry-leading 25-year structural, 25-year stain-and-fade and 25-year removal-and-replacement limited deck warranty as well as coverage for water and ground contact.
Adding to the benefits of EovationsTM technology, Deckorators Voyage composite decking features unique textured embossing for 34 percent or greater surface traction than other leading brands of composite decking, plus the bold look of vertical grain variegation and four trend-forward color options: Sierra (dark gray), Tundra (gray), Costa (golden brown), and Mesa (red brown).
Voyage Going to IBS Trade Show
Builders can see and experience the slip-resistant decking technology of Deckorators Voyage at the NAHB International Builders’ Show® (IBS), Feb. 19 – 21 in Las Vegas — the largest annual light construction trade show in the world.
On Tuesday, Feb. 19, Voyage Mesa will be installed on the ProTradeCraft Demonstration Home during a live demo in the Professional Builder® Show Village. Deckorators ALXTM Contemporary aluminum railing in Brushed Titanium will be added to the deck on Wednesday, Feb. 20.
“At Deckorators, we believe strongly in Voyage and the spectrum of benefits it offers deck builders and their clients,” said Chris Camfferman, managing director, marketing for Deckorators. “We’re excited to give IBS attendees the opportunity to not only learn about the product, but also see how it works in a real jobsite environment.”
Voyage Costa decking will also be highlighted in the National Nail Corp. booth (N963). National Nail Corp. is the maker of CAMO® fasteners, which are among the compatible fasteners for Voyage decking.
Boards Offer Tested Traction
First introduced to the industry at DeckExpo 2018 in Baltimore, Maryland, Deckorators Voyage composite decking comes with innovative textured embossing that offers homeowners the enhanced safety of superior traction underfoot in both dry and wet conditions.
Voyage is proven to provide more grip on the deck surface than other leading brands of composite decking. Voyage slip-resistant decking was tested against other leading capped composite deck boards in wet conditions by an independent third-party lab under the AS/NZS 4586-2013 standard. The deck boards were tested on Sept. 24-25, 2018.
Vertical grain streaking gives Voyage — an ultra-low maintenance composite — the premium appearance of the highest-quality wood. Voyage comes in four beautiful colors that are the most popular in outdoor living spaces among homeowners.
The Voyage composite decking line is available in 12-, 16- and 20-foot solid and slotted-edge profiles, as well as 12-foot fascia. It is capped with durable polypropylene to create a surface that is stain-, fade- and scratch-resistant.
