Evergrain Composite Decking

In case you hadn’t heard, Evergrain changed the pigment in their decking at the start of 2009.  If the new composite decking hasn’t gotten to your local retailer or distributor yet, it soon will.  As a Kansas City deck builder, we’ve been building decks and screened porches with the new line since about the second or third week in January.  Kansas City Deck Supply is our metro area’s largest retailer for composite decking, Azek decking, aluminum and iron deck railing systems, deck lighting, and many other deck specialty products.  They switched their inventory completely at the beginning of the year. 

Basically, the factory color will look almost the same.  The only major difference I can tell is in the “Cedar” color which looks more orange and much more vibrant.  All the other colors basically look a tad brighter and a little richer in the pigment coloring.  I’d say each and every color looks better than the previous.

Even though the colors look nearly identical, you shouldn’t mix the old and new on the same deck.  Tamko, the manufacturers of Evergrain, say the new composite will not fade nearly as much as the old.  Therefore, you may not notice that much difference upon installation, but you’ll definitely be able to see the change as the old one fades and new hardly changes.   The change is great news for deck contractors and consumers.  Especially since the degree of fading was the only real weakness I’ve ever seen with Evergrain.

You can tell the new product from the old by the tags on the ends of the boards.  The old tags are white while the new are a fluorescent yellowish green.  As far as the structural makeup, surface texture, and rot/mold/ mildew resistance, nothing has changed.  And why should it?  Like I’ve stated often times before, Evergrain decking by far gives the consumer the best bang for the buck!
