What went into the development of CorrectDeck
CX?
In listening to the decking marketplace,
we learned that there has been a value gap
between what people expect of a composite
decking product and what is available. We
saw a need for a truly low maintenance deck
product, with all of the benefits of composite
decking but none of the drawbacks (drawbacks
like significant color fade, grease staining,
and mildew). This product is the only one
on the market which solves the three problems
composite decking customers complain most
about: color fade, staining, and mold/mildew.

How long will the Microban antimicrobial
product protection last?
Microban® protection is built-in during
the manufacturing process and will not wash
off or wear away. Microban protection is
engineered to provide continuous antimicrobial
product protection for the useful lifetime
of the product.See
Microban FAQ's.

Will the surface of CorrectDeck CX peel
or wear off?
The surface of CorrectDeck CX will not peel
off due to the fact that the surface layer
is co-extruded into the wood fiber. (See
Illustration) Under normal conditions,
the surface will last indefinitely. If exposed
to high wear or abrasion, some wearing is
possible. If any of the substrate becomes
exposed, this is no cause for alarm because
it contains the same UV stabilizers as the
rest of the composition and is not affected.

Why can’t I see a distinct protective
layer in CorrectDeck CX?
Rather than being a specific ‘layer’,
our patented technology actually brings
more of the UV, stain resistance, and mildew-resistance
additives to the surface. This is continuously
blended into the material. (See
Illustration) That is why scratching
and hardness is not a concern. Several companies
that specialize in testing the thickness
of co-extrusion layers have not been able
to detect a distinct boundary between the
wood composite substrate and the cap layer.

of CorrectDeck CX?
The cap layer of CorrectDeck CX is composed
of a propritetory blend of scractch, stain,
and antimicrobial additives with an anti-slip
grit incorporated in our extremely hard
Polypropylene base.

How come the factory saw cut of CorrectDeck
CX is chipped?
This happens because the product is hot
when we cut it at the factory and our saws
cut up from underneath. You can trim the
ends if you like (all of our decking is
cut at least 1” longer than nominal
to provide for trim stock). When cut at
the jobsite, the product will not chip in
this way because it has had a chance to
cool down. Consider cutting it upside down
using a sharp carbide blade for the cleanest
cut.

Why is there not a distinct layer between
the cap stock and the substrate of CorrectDeck
CX?
Rather than being a specific ‘layer’,
our patented technology actually brings
more of the UV, stain resistance, and mildew-resistance
additives to the surface. This is continuously
blended into the material. That is why scratching
and hardness is not a concern. Several companies
that specialize in testing the thickness
of co extrusion layers have not been able
to detect a distinct boundary between the
wood composite substrate and the cap layer.
