Come rain or shine

Much as we enjoy the look and feel of wood in our homes, constant exposure to sun and rain means this natural material starts to decay as soon as it is installed outside.

One way to overcome the problem is to install decking that has the appearance of wood, without being prone to bleaching, rotting or fading, says Craig Sherrett, group marketing director of WeatherBest®.

"Homeowners want their decks to have the warm look of newly installed wood, but they know that real wood doesn't keep that new appearance once it faces the full force of the weather," he says. "WeatherBest looks like new wood decking, season after season, with very little maintenance."

WeatherBest decking is made from recycled wood particles and high-density plastic, and treated with BoardBlock¢ to resist mold, rot, mildew and termites. Grooves in the decks allow rainwater to drain away, making the surface dry and safe, even after heavy rain.

"There's no need to stain, seal or sand your WeatherBest decking all it needs to keep it looking good is a regular spray with a garden hose," he says.

The fade-resistant decking is available in a range of wood-grain styles and colors, from subtle hues to more dramatic colors and grains. Its new Tropical¢ line, for example, has the look of exotic hardwoods.

WeatherBest also produces a range of railings to complement its decking.
