Fiberon Composite Decking

Building an Outdoor Deck?

When building porch or patio decks, design is important, but so are construction and building materials.

If you're investigating decks, or design ideas and plans for a porch or patio, consider Fiberon decking before building. The Fiberon Decking and Railing System offers a sturdy, low-maintenance and long-lasting alternative to wood.

Fiberon - Alternative Decking Materials Go Mainstream

Plastic lumber? Not quite. Fiberon is a composite deck building material made of a mixture of premium recycled wood and polymer resins. It has the traditional beauty and feel of wood, but without its failings.

Building an Outdoor Above Ground Swimming Pool Deck?

Fiberon decking is perfect for your outdoor swimming pool or for homes near the water. It will not warp, rot, crack, splinter, cup, or split and is actually more slip resistant when wet! You can't beat Fiberon decking for above ground pool deck designs.

Fiberon Deck Railing System

Fiberon deck rails are manufactured with a wood-resin core and a glossy vinyl exterior for years of maintenance-free beauty. They are thick, heavy, and strong and have the look and feel of a wood railing, without the upkeep. Fiberon deck railings are easy to install and, unlike other rail systems that conceal a metal frame, Fiberon has no components that will rust, stain, or shake.

Environmentally Friendly Composite Decking Material

Fiberon decking is made without toxic or harmful wood preservatives. It is easy to install and provides years of worry-free use.

The Fiberon Deck and Railing System

For your porch, patio, or above ground swimming pool, deck construction with Fiberon composite plastic and wood decking is an economical, care free, solid, and beautiful choice. And the maintenance-free Fiberon Deck Railing System can't be beat for longevity, strength, and style.

Fiberon, backed by a 10-year warranty, is manufactured by Fiber Composites LLC of New London, NC.

Decking


Fiberon's unique design offers many benefits:
Strength & Durability -
With Fiberon, splitting, warping, and cupping is a thing of the past.
Water & Slip Resistance -
Great for beach and lakeside homes, Fiberon Decking resists the wettest conditions without warping or rotting. And, its textured wood surface is more slip resisitant when wet.
Easy Installation -
Fiberon works like wood -with conventional wood working tools. Use small head ring or spiral shank stainless steel nails or screws for best results.
Environmentally Safe - Made with premium recycled wood and without toxic or harmful wood preservatives, Fiberon is friendly to the environment.

photoFiberon solid decking is made from a mixture of premium recycled wood, predominantly oak from manufacturers of furniture, millwork or cabinets, and a combination of virgin plastic and recycled plastic for stronger performance. High-strength materials make each board lightweight, yet durable and more rigid than other composite decking. It can be used for any purpose, but is not designed for use as columns, beams, joists, stringers and other primary load-bearing members.

photoFiberon Decking comes in pewter gray or cedar. Its surface is embossed with a natural oak grain. Fiberon's color tones may vary slightly upon installation. In a short time these color tones lighten to a beautiful, consistent, traditional wood look and will stay so for years to come. Fiberon decking feels like wood underfoot, but will not splinter, warp, rot, crack, cup, giving it a beauty that outlasts wood decks. Its surface is slip resistant when wet. Although you can stain or paint with oil-based products, it is not necessary, just as it is not necessary to seal Fiberon decking.

Fiberon decking is easy to install, using no special tools or hardware. Whether you are cutting, nailing, drilling or routing, traditional woodworking tools will do the job.

Fiberon decking is backed by a 10-year limited warranty.

Paint/stain:
Fiberon decking requires no paint or stain, although oil-based paints or stains can be applied in 90 to 180 days if desired. Generally, wood composites do not absorb or retain paint and stain as well as natural wood. Test applications of paint or stain in an inconspicuous spot before applying.

Storage:
Fiberon decking should be stored indoors or covered with UV-inhibiting material out of doors to maintain consistent color prior to installation. Decking should be supported every 4 feet when stored.
