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.

How does
temperature affect CorrectDeck?
CorrectDeck is manufactured
in Maine where harsh freezing
winters have put it to the test.
As far as the heat, CorrectDeck
can get up to 210 F without
any distortion or sagging between
joists. The deep wood grain
and thin profile of CorrectDeck
combined with IR-reflective
pigments help to keep the product
cool underfoot even on those
hot summer days.

Can I paint,
stain, or water seal CorrectDeck?
Once CorrectDeck has
weathered for at least one season,
a good quality solid oil or
latex decking stain can be applied;
two coats are suggested as per
manufacturers instructions.
Do not attempt this process
on new material as results will
not be acceptable.

What
is the best snow removal procedure
with CorrectDeck?
Any type of salt or ice melt
can be applied to CorrectDeck
as any wood surface along with
the use of a plastic tip shovel
shovel. Please do not chip at
any thin ice or directly on
CorrectDeck as it may damage
the surface of the material.

What is the proper
way to handle and store CorrectDeck?
CorrectDeck should
be stored on wood supports placed
approximately every three feet
and under a dry lumber cover
or tarp. Rainwater that wouldn’t
stain a deck will stain stacked
lumber, so remember to keep
it dry.

Will
the color on every CorrectDeck
board be the same as the material
produced at a different time?
No, as with lumber, slight variations
in color may exist from board
to board. Prior to cutting and
installing deck boards, layout
boards on deck to achieve a
desired appearance. If in the
unlikely situation that a board
may not match the other boards
on your deck to your satisfaction,
please return the board to the
retailer for exchange prior
to installation.

Why do my Coastal
Grey boards have a brown cast?
Coastal Grey boards
may have a brown cast due to
an artifact of the brownish
color of the recovered wood
fibers used to make the product.
This exposed wood fiber weathers
to a gray color quickly and
the brown or reddish cast will
fade away.

Does
CorrectDeck offer a dock plank?
CorrectDock
is great for marina, dock, or
boardwalk applications with
a deeply embossed wood grain
that makes it slip resistant
even when wet. |
