Here at Decks R US, our favorite decking to work with is Timbertech PVC Deck. We started using this decking back in 2004 when it was first made under the brand of Procell. The technology was bought by Timbertech PVC Building Products in 2008, and it’s been called Timbertech PVC Deck ever since. We love that it comes in a wide range of colors, is easy to work with, very durable, and is resistant to fading and staining. In fact since 2016, Timbertech PVC has covered all their decking with a 25 year fade & stain warranty. This is on top of their lifetime structural warranty that they have always offered. In the Spring of 2021 Timbertech PVC will be launching a new series of decking colors, called the Landmark series. There will be 3 colors available initially. Landmark series decking will also have a different grain pattern embossed on the boards. It is made to mimic the hand-scraped look that is so popular in hardwood flooring these days. The 3 colors are American Walnut, French Oak, and Castle Gate. We look forward to being able to build new decks using these new boards.The introduction of the Landmark Series decking will give Timbertech PVC 3 different “looks” in Vinyl decking. The Vintage series look is a tight grain pattern, like a traditional hardwood deck board might have. The Harvest series looks like a larger, more open grain, like a Pressure Treated Pine deck might have. At Decks R Us we only use the finest decking materials to fit our customers’ needs. See our Deck Flooring page for all the different options we offer in decking.
