Innovative Decking Solutions from MoistureShield®
MoistureShield® has long been recognized for pushing the boundaries of decking technology with composite and PVC products that combine the beauty of wood with the performance of advanced engineering. Each MoistureShield deck board is designed to withstand the most demanding environments while delivering superior aesthetics and sustainability.
The Core of Innovation
At the heart of every MoistureShield product is its Solid Core — an impermeable barrier that resists moisture intrusion, warping, and structural failure. This unique technology makes MoistureShield the only composite decking brand in the industry that can be installed on the ground, in the ground, or even underwater without compromising structural integrity. This engineering breakthrough ensures long-lasting performance in virtually any climate or site condition.
Complementing the Solid Core is Next Core Advantage, MoistureShield’s composite-enhanced PVC technology that provides unmatched durability and impact resistance. The brand’s pioneering CoolDeck® Technology further enhances user comfort by reducing heat absorption by up to 35%, setting a new benchmark for thermal performance in composite decking.
