Content Description

Multilayer Decking: Using Cellular PVC Technology to Replicate Exotic Hardwood, 2024
CEU: 0.1 | CEU Code: RB-EN-180301-0124

While exotic, tropical hardwoods provide beauty and durability as materials for outdoor decks, they are expensive to maintain and come with concerns about their sustainability and the effects of harvesting on ecosystems. Multilayer, cellular PVC decking products combine the desired durability and look of hardwoods but utilize a more sustainable production process to create materials that are easier to maintain.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify the most common types of decking materials and discuss decking material selection considerations.
  • Describe multilayer, cellular PVC decking in terms of its manufacture, components, and function.
  • Discuss the benefits of using multilayer, cellular PVC decking and evaluate its performance.
  • Explain how to properly install and maintain a deck designed and constructed using multilayer, cellular PVC decking.
