101 Best New Products: Outdoor Living

OutdoorFlooring

Fiberon is offering Fiberon OutdoorFlooring featuring Sensibuilt Lumenite technology. Fiberon’s application of the patent-pending, fusion-bonded Lumenite surface innovation, originally introduced on Sensibuilt PVC decking, raises the benchmark in alternative decking because it ensures fade, stain, and mold resistance. This PVC outdoor flooring comes with the industry’s only 20-year stain and fade resistance warranty.

RainEscape

The Trex RainEscape above-joist deck drainage system creates a dry space beneath the deck that is suitable for the installation of deck lighting, ceiling fans, and finished ceilings. Unlike competitive products, which make use of under-joist technology, Trex RainEscape shields the joists, protecting them from water damage and deterioration that may occur over time, while also creating additional usable outdoor living space below the deck.
 

EverNew Decking

Consisting of a solid cPVC core, EverNew LT cellular PVC decking never needs painting or staining, and it will not splinter, warp, or rot. CertainTeed’s product has a patent-pending, fusion-bonded Lumenite surface technology for protection against the elements. The surface is also solar-reflecting, so the boards will stay cool, even on hot days.

Transcend

According to Trex, the trick to the Transcend line’s durability is its thick integrated shell. Each board is protected on three sides for superior defense against severe weather, heavy foot traffic, and everyday wear and tear. Trex says the underside of each board breathes to avoid surface separation and ensure lifelong endurance. It’s backed by a 25-year, limited stain and fade warranty.
