“As we look at recent trends and consumer preferences, these color additions allow homeowners and contractors to explore a variety of options to enhance their next outdoor project,” said Matthew Bruce, Vice President of Sales at Oldcastle APG. “Shoal joins our coastal-inspired collection of Meridian deck boards, while the coming addition of Traverse in Black supports the rising homeowner interest in architectural black that we’re seeing across the market.

Meridian is a capped composite decking option from MoistureShield with color-enriched deck boards featuring TruTexture™ Surface.
