What is the composition of CorrectDeck?
CorrectDeck is crafted from recovered hardwood fiber and rugged, UV-stabilized polypropylene. CorrectDeck combines a unique polypropylene-based formula with a highly advanced manufacturing process to yield a superior material. CorrectDeck was the first composite decking manufacturer to use polypropylene instead of polyethylene. Polypropylene (think of Tupperware® or red gas cans) makes it stronger, stiffer, and lighter than other composites, so it can span longer distances and withstand higher temperatures with less expansion and contraction.

Can I paint, stain, or water seal CorrectDeck?
You will never have to apply a water sealer to CorrectDeck. Doing so will not yield the positive results you would get when applying it to natural wood products and it will eliminate the opportunity for applying a stain in the future since most water sealers contain a wax-like component that will prevent other coatings from adhering properly.

Once standard CorrectDeck has weathered for at least two seasons, a good quality solid or semi transparent oil or latex stain can be applied. Do not attempt this process on new material as results will not be acceptable. Because CorrectDeck has a limited absorption ability, you should never apply more than one coat of product – the second coat will remain on the surface and blotches or tackiness will remain for extended periods of time. Always work the wet edge of the stain to avoid lap lines. It is best to work down the full length of a few boards rather than across the width of many boards to avoid this problem.
