Correct Building Products Introduces CorrectPorch™

Tongue and groove flooring offers green builders an option for covered porches

BIDDEFORD, ME - Correct Building Products, LLC, maker of sustainable CorrectDeck and RapidRail outdoor building materials, is pleased to present its CorrectPorch, a high performance, low maintenance, tongue and groove outdoor floor board, to the market.

"Homeowners and builders nationwide are working on historic renovations or adding porches to new homes to provide outdoor spaces for socializing and relaxing, and we wanted to provide this market with a sustainable composite product that doesn't have the splintering, deterioration or maintenance issues associated with traditional wood porch planking," noted Mike Descoteaux, marketing manager for the company.

CorrectPorch features the historically accurate dimensions that fit with a tongue and groove connection and match the architectural specifications of traditional covered porches. Building on nearly 20 years of innovation in manufacturing composite outdoor building materials, Correct Building Products has improved upon earlier composite flooring materials and CorrectPorch offers features not available on similar products.

CorrectPorch is made from an environmentally-sustainable 60/40 recycled hardwood and polypropylene mix that resists sagging and will qualify for LEED points from the U.S. Green Building Council.

The boards feature a patent-pending, hidden spacer bead design that allows the product to expand and contract with seasonal temperature changes and maintain the proper spacing between boards.
Every CorrectPorch board is factory drilled every 16 inches for easier installation and CorrectPorch Screws will be available soon. These are stainless steel, trim head screws for long lasting durability and performance to match that of the porch.

CorrectPorch comes in a natural gray color with a subtle wood grain pattern. Color-matched stair treads are now available. The 1 1/8" x 5 ½" profile provides added strength for stair applications. CorrectPorch trim profiles are also available for finishing the outer edges of the porch. All composite components of the CorrectPorch family may be primed with a recommended alkyd porch primer and finished with a high-quality porch and floor paint.

CorrectPorch, when properly installed and maintained according to Correct Building Products' published installation and care instructions, is warranted for as long as you own your home, against rot, structural decay, splitting, checking, splintering, or termite damage under normal conditions of decking/porch use and exposure.
