There’s a reason bringing the indoors outside remains a hot trend. Expanding your outdoor living space by extending the color, style, and atmosphere of your interior helps create a cohesive look while improving the flow between the two spaces. MoistureShield's Vision composite decking series makes it easy for homeowners to do just that.

Proven Reliability

MoistureShield Decking has been making some of the best composite decking products on the market for decades. In fact, in 28 years of manufacturing, they’ve never experienced a structural field failure. If you’ve been around the industry for any length of time, you understand how big of a deal that is.

Best-in-class Durability

Because of their process of total encapsulation—where wood fibers are aligned and surrounded in plastic—MoistureShield Decking is extremely moisture resistant. So much so that the company warrants their products for fresh and saltwater splash and even for total submersion. (Imagine the options this provides when constructing boat docks and marinas.) You can also install the product on or in the ground, giving you many more options when designing low-level decks.

Key Attributes

  • Lifetime structural warranty protected to the core
  • Slip-resistant
  • Limited lifetime fade and stain warranty
  • Mold- and mildew-resistant
  • LEED certified
  • Non-grooved or grooved options for easy installation with hidden fasteners

CoolDeck Technology

Have you been waiting for a composite decking product that has a measurably cooler surface temperature than the current options on the market? A decking product that’s comfortable to walk on with bare feet after a full day of sun? A deck surface that’s safe for young children and your pets? Oftentimes, people stray away from dark decking—especially for decks with southern exposure—for fear it’ll get too hot. MoistureShield’s Vision decking is now available with CoolDeck Technology, which minimizes heat absorption and optimizes heat reflection for a more comfortable deck. This technology reduces the temperature of a deck surface by up to 35 percent compared to conventional capped composites.
