  New Under the Sun
  To fight UV damage from the sun's rays, which the maker names as the worst enemy of PVC decking, Solstice cellular PVC decking features SunShield Technology. The protection helps improve color retention while reducing heat build-up in the co-extruded vinyl cap, translating into fade resistance and and a cooler material underfoot. Additional Korelite technology helps minimize imperfections, voids, and water absorption during the extrusion process, creating a sturdier core material. The decking is avaialble in eight pastel and hardwood colorways. 800.432.9560. deceuninck-americas.com.

  Wood-Look Railing
  The Deckorators brand now includes a second deck railing system, CXT. The co-extruded material offers the look of painted wood with a low-maintenance capstock for durability and strength. Available in contemporary or Colonial profiles, the CXT railing is available in 6-or 8-foot lengths and 36- or 42-inch installed heights. The railing's unique U-bracket design eases installation and creates a fastener-free look. Pre-drilled rails take the guesswork out of baluster spacing, and the CXT railing lets deck builders work with a range of Deckorators baluster infills and post accessories. 800.332.5724. deckorators.com.
