Composite Decking Materials Help Homeowners Go Green
2008-03-14 16:07:00 Spring is a favorite home improvement season, and a top project on many homeowners' lists is building a new deck or improving an existing one. As awareness grows of how home improvement projects affect the environment, more homeowners are discovering the advantages of incorporating green building materials into their deck plans. Consumers expect to double their spending on green products and services in the next year, according to the 2007 ImagePower Green Brands Survey. Choices for homeowners to bring more green goods to their homes now go beyond compact florescent light bulbs and insulated windows - they can extend to deck projects as well. Today, decking materials are available that are not only long lasting and aesthetically appealing, but also make efficient use of recycled materials.

Fiberon Decking
2007-09-25 15:11:00 Over the weekend I had the opportunity to host an informational table at one of the homes on the Green Home Tour and also help with tours of the home. I was at the Mulroy home up on 16th Ave. This home was being built extremely green and featured many new and wonderful technologies throughout the home. Over the next week I plan to feature a few of them here. The first product I want to talk about is the decking they used on the outside deck. It is a fairly new product called Fiberon Decking. While it is Similar to Trex in formulation of wood flour and polymer resins that is where the similarities stop. Fiburon will last just as long (decades) but looks much more realistic and actually resembles hard woods such as the Tropical wood that is so popular today, Ipe. With all of the above being said, I do still question how green Fiburon is with the polymers being used. No where on there website is any information that says any product is recycled...
