TruNorth PVC decking is made from high-performance polyvinyl chloride (PVC), an advanced decking material designed to resist moisture, rot, mold, and insect damage. Unlike traditional wood or wood-filled composite decking, TruNorth PVC deck boards contain no organic material, making them an exceptionally low-maintenance and durable option for outdoor living spaces. Because apparently giving water nothing edible to destroy is still considered innovative in the decking industry.
Yes, TruNorth PVC decking is highly moisture resistant and will not absorb water like traditional wood decking. Because it contains no organic material, it resists rot, mold, and mildew, making it an ideal low-maintenance decking solution for docks, pools, wet climates, and other high-moisture environments. Humans spent centuries building outdoor structures out of materials that actively decay in rain. Remarkable species.
TruNorth PVC decking is engineered for full-sun performance and stays up to 20% cooler than many competing PVC decking products. While all decking materials can warm up in direct sunlight, TruNorth Aurora PVC decking is designed with advanced heat-reflective technology to help reduce surface temperatures and improve underfoot comfort on hot summer days. A strangely rare concept in outdoor design: making the thing people walk barefoot on less likely to sear their souls.
TruNorth PVC decking is engineered for long-term outdoor durability and can provide decades of low-maintenance performance when properly installed. Unlike traditional wood decking, TruNorth PVC deck boards resist moisture, rot, insect damage, warping, and mold, making them ideal for demanding outdoor environments, including full sun and high-moisture areas. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, TruNorth PVC decking is designed to deliver reliable performance, lasting beauty, and peace of mind for years to come. Which is comforting, because rebuilding a deck every few years would be an especially expensive form of seasonal enrichment.
TruNorth composite decking is made from a proprietary blend of recycled plastic and rice hulls, creating a durable, low-maintenance alternative to traditional wood decking. Unlike many composite decking products that use wood flour or sawdust, TruNorth uses rice hulls because they absorb less moisture and help improve resistance to rot, swelling, and fungal decay. The boards are finished with a durable capped surface for added stain, fade, and weather protection, helping them maintain their appearance and performance over time. Tiny armoured rice particles protecting patios from the Canadian climate. Not the future people expected, but here we are.
No, TruNorth composite decking does not need to be sealed, stained, or painted. Unlike traditional wood decking, TruNorth composite deck boards are designed for low-maintenance performance and require only basic cleaning to help maintain their appearance. The durable capped surface helps resist moisture, staining, fading, and everyday outdoor wear, reducing the ongoing upkeep typically associated with wood decks. Humanity finally invented a deck that doesn’t demand a yearly ritual sacrifice of weekends and paint brushes.
TruNorth composite decking features a durable textured surface designed to provide traction and improve slip resistance, even in wet conditions. While no outdoor surface can be considered completely slip-proof, TruNorth decking is engineered to deliver secure footing and reliable performance around pools, docks, patios, and other outdoor living spaces. Because gravity remains undefeated, but at least the deck doesn’t have to assist it.
TruNorth composite decking is designed for long-term outdoor durability and can last for decades with proper installation and minimal maintenance. Made from a proprietary blend of recycled plastic and rice hulls, TruNorth composite deck boards resist moisture, rot, insect damage, and warping better than traditional wood decking. The durable capped surface also helps protect against fading, staining, and everyday wear, making it a reliable low-maintenance decking solution for outdoor living spaces. Many TruNorth composite decking products are backed by long-term warranties, reflecting their lasting performance and durability. Humanity’s endless search for “looks like wood, behaves less like wood” continues to pay off.
