C&BTR 5/4″ KDAT Decking from YellaWood®
With YellaWood’s brand C&BTR KDAT decking, dealers can offer a high-end deck board that has a relatively low cost and still offers benefits to homeowners. The C&BTR 5/4×6″ deck boards are described as having small knots and virtually no wane. They are treated with a micronized copper preservative and then dried to their original moisture content. Because the product is kiln dried after treatment, or KDAT, the natural tendencies of freshly treated wood to shrink, cup or warp are minimized; so the company says there is no need to wait to paint or stain after installation. By comparison, freshly treated wood may take weeks or months to dry naturally enough to be finished. Plus, homeowners can be assured that YellaWood brand products have long-term protection against rot, fungal decay and termite attack. www.YellaWood.com
TruGrain™ Porch Board made with Resysta®
Westech has teamed up with German-owned Resysta to unveil TruGrain Porch Board made with Resysta. Said to deliver all of the aesthetic appeal of wood without the disadvantages like swelling, splintering and rotting, Westech says it’s the very first porch flooring product that looks like exotic or tropical hardwood, while being durable, sustainable and long-lasting. Resysta’s main ingredient is rice husks, the only known agricultural waste product for which, until now, there was no useful purpose. Unlike other products, which are available in a limited amount of colors, TruGrain made with Resysta boasts the ability to be stained in 20 available environmentally friendly color shades. Stains can be applied either at the factory or on the jobsite. www.westechbp.com
