MoistureShield, a signature brand of Oldcastle APG, announced a new distributor partnership with Building Materials Distributors, Inc. (BMD). This will expand the distribution of the manufacturer’s composite decking portfolio to the entire state of California, the southern part of Oregon, Reno, NV, and Las Vegas, NV.
Several of MoistureShield’s wood composite decking product lines are now available through this partnership with Building Materials Distributors, Inc. (BMD), including the Vision*, Meridian *, Elevate, and Vantage lines, which feature the Solid Core Difference. MoistureShield’s solid core construction features an impermeable barrier that fights damage from moisture, rot, insects and other harmful elements to provide a low-maintenance decking material specially engineered to last.
“Our partnership with Building Materials Distributors, Inc. (BMD) marks a pivotal step in expanding MoistureShield’s decking presence across North America,” said Matthew Bruce, Vice President of Sales, Oldcastle Fence, Rail & Deck. “Through this strategic alliance, both companies are positioned to achieve significant market growth together.”
Building Materials Distributors, Inc. has been a long-time distribution partner with RDIÂ Railing, a sister brand to MoistureShield and part of the Oldcastle APG family of brands. The addition of MoistureShield’s wood composite decking products to Building Materials Distributors’, Inc. (BMD) offerings further extends both businesses’ reach into the market and enhances the companies’ ability to better serve customers.
“Adding MoistureShield’s decking solutions to our portfolio strengthens our market position in the western part of the United States,” said Matt Blair, Vice President & Division General Manager – Specialty Division at Building Materials Distributors, Inc. (BMD). “Their commitment to product excellence and dealer support perfectly aligns with our mission to deliver premium building materials backed by exceptional service.”
