Douglas Lumber is Now a Stocking Dealer of Modernview Decking
ModernView Decking's eco-friendly deck materials are made from 95% recycled content and manufactured through a unique "total encapsulation" process, wherein wood fibers are aligned and encapsulated in plastic. While the wood fibers reinforce the plastic, making for stiffer deck boards, the plastic surround makes the product moisture resistant. Because ModernView Decking is totally encapsulated, it can be installed with direct ground contact. Unlike some traditional wood decks, this composite decking product is non-toxic and does not require staining, painting, or sealing.

The features of eco-friendly ModernView Decking do not end there. Not only is ModernView Decking a green product you can feel good about using, but it is one that will stand the test of time. ModernView Decking comes with a 25-year limited warranty, which protects this recycled composite decking material against rotting and decay. Douglas Lumber is currently stocking this product in the Slate and Auburn colors while ModernView's Java and Amber colors are available via special order.
