MoistureShield Composite Decking vs Wood
MoistureShield offers the only composite boards in the industry that can be installed on the ground, in the ground or underwater without any structural performance issues. At the foundation of every board is MoistureShield's proprietary Solid Core — an impermeable barrier that fights damage from moisture, rot, insects and other harmful elements. This core maintains its integrity even after ripping and cutting, mitigating warranty issues and long-term damage. The result is a long lasting, low maintenance decking material specially engineered to last for decades.
The Solid Core Difference™
No warping or rotting
Unlike traditional wood decking, MoistureShield will not warp or rot.
Virtually no moisture absorption
Moisture cannot penetrate MoistureShield.
Resists damage from insects
Termites and other insects can destroy a deck built from wood, not MoistureShield.
Long lasting, low maintenance
Wood decking requires extensive maintenance year over year.
Composite decking zero structural field failures in 30+ years
MoistureShield's record of zero structural failures in 30+ years speaks for itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
There are many fasteners that will work to achieve the minimum hold down force. When using MoistureShield products, it is advisable to also use a fastener that will do the same, such as stainless steel. These types of fasteners are also less likely to cause stains. MoistureShield boards can be face screwed or fastened using a hidden fastener. Feel free to call the MoistureShield Customer Service Department at 866-729-2378 for more information. Note: Always defer to your local building codes before making a final decision.
Yes. MoistureShield is manufactured to specific standard construction dimensions and has no wane, knotholes, or other bad spots that require cutouts and create waste.
MoistureShield decking can be installed using common woodworking tools, as all MoistureShield products can be cut and ripped without the need to seal the fresh cut surface. Vantage products can also be rasped and routed as there is no surface cap. Use a carbide blade with the least amount of teeth possible (fewer than 20 is recommended) to avoid excessive heat, which can lead to a rough cut.
No. Polyethylene is non-toxic and is used for applications such as milk jugs, water jugs and grocery sacks. When burned completely, it will convert to carbon dioxide and water vapor.
MoistureShield has a class C fire rating which is the same as wood.
The entire MoistureShield product portfolio meets or exceeds OSHA’s recommendation of 0.5 for slip resistance. Vantage products have the best slip resistance, Vision products have better slip resistance.
Yes, using no more than 1300 PSI and keeping the wand at least 8 to 10 inches from the surface. Cleaning instructions are available on the website, or you can call our Customer Service Department at 866-729-2378.
Use a broom or leaf blower every few weeks. Use hot water, a good dish soap and a soft brush every 6 months. The best time to clean is after installation and semi-annually (spring and fall) to remove any debris. If stains persist, additional cleaning tips can be found on the care and cleaning page.
All MoistureShield products are stain-resistant. Some products also have a stain warranty (see warranty for details). Most stains commonly encountered such as mustard and ketchup will wash away easily. More stubborn stains can be washed off with the proper cleaner. Please call Customer Service at 866-729-2378 regarding stain cleaning. Recommended cleaners are listed here as well.
No, paint and stain is not recommended as it will not adhere to MoistureShield products and will void any existing fade & stain warranty associated with the product.
Each series offers unique features to help ensure your decking stays as beautiful as the day it was installed. In the event a board is damaged, the best action is to replace the affected board.
Vision products have the best color retention with a 50-Year fade warranty. See warranty document for details. Vantage will fade like real wood since they are approximately 50% real wood and therefore do not have a fade warranty. Over time, UV rays from the sun will fade ANY outdoor product.
MoistureShield products will withstand the most hostile environment, including incidental saltwater contact or spray in coastal areas. At the foundation of every board is our proprietary Solid Core — an impermeable barrier that fights damage from moisture, rot, insects and other harmful elements. The Solid Core Difference is the key to MoistureShield’s durability and long life in difficult environments. In all environments stainless steel screws are recommended.
Yes. MoistureShield decking and accessories are made with 95% recycled materials, of which, 38% is post-consumer in origin.
No. MoistureShield products are some of the least toxic products in the building industry. See the SDS document for details.
Any surface will show evidence of normal wear and tear. Scuffs and scratches should be no problem as MoistureShield is a dense product. The Vision line offers our strongest capped wood composite board and is protected with our exclusive DiamondDefenseTM Coating to resist scratches, stains and damage on impact. Vantage products have self-healing properties which make scratches and scuffs less severe and noticeable over time through exposure to heat and sunlight.
No. MoistureShield has been extensively tested under hostile accelerated aging conditions by outside laboratories. It is warranted to resist rot and fungal decay when properly installed and maintained. See our warranty for details.
No. MoistureShield is virtually impervious to moisture and does not require pressure treatment, preservative treatments, water sealing or staining.
Because of our total encapsulation, our products are manufactured under several unique patents wherein the wood fibers are aligned and encapsulated in plastic. The plastic surrounds and bonds to the wood fibers, making them moisture resistant.
Yes, MoistureShield can be installed on the ground, in contact with the ground, on the water and under water. Learn more.
All MoistureShield products are proudly made in the USA, in Springdale Arkansas.
