Decks without the Drudgery
EverNew® vinyl deck and rail make light work of caring for your deck.
Valley Forge, PA, December 1, 2001—Thinking about adding a deck? A porch? Does the annual maintenance—the sanding and staining—make you think again? EverNew low-maintenance vinyl decks from CertainTeed Outdoor Living Products let you enjoy all the benefits of a deck without the drawbacks.
No Sanding, No Staining, No Splinters
Wood decks can splinter and rot. Surface nails and screws can back out. Even treated wood needs to be stained periodically. But EverNew vinyl decks from CertainTeed Outdoor Living Products never need painting or staining. They don’t splinter or rot and there’s no exposed hardware to reset. In fact, except for an occasional cleaning with a garden hose, vinyl decks are virtually maintenance free. Vinyl decks are also sturdy because, just like wood decks, they install directly on the joists. Add a grill and some furniture and you can create a rugged, carefree outdoor living area for your family and guests.
Vinyl decks are particularly suited for busy families because they’re “child-friendly.” They stay cool to the touch, even when it’s hot, so children can run, sit and play on the deck even on the sunniest days. There are no splinters to stub bare toes and no exposed hardware to scrape tender legs. Snap-in fill pieces between the planks create a slip-resistant continuous surface that’s safe, even for toddlers.
Like-New Appearance
Another significant advantage of vinyl decks is their like-new appearance. While wood decks can split and splinter and composite decks will fade, CertainTeed vinyl decks look like new years after they’ve been installed. There are three colors to choose from—gray, white and tan—so it’s easy to coordinate your new deck with existing siding and shutters. To help you further customize your deck, low maintenance vinyl railings are available in matching colors. At the seashore, in the mountains, in Maine winters and Texas summers, these rugged decks are backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
EverNew decks and railings deliver the same great performance you’ve come to expect from all CertainTeed building products. They are approved by the National Evaluation Service (NES) for compliance with BOCA, UBC, and SBCCI model building codes.
