Since
our founding in 1999, Correct Building
Products has been committed to sustainable
environmental practices (thus the
name, as in ‘environmentally
Correct’). We’ve always
looked for ways to reduce the impact
of our activities, and also outdoor
living activities in general, have
on the world.
Over the years we’ve
made significant progress toward this
goal. For example, we’ve always
been opposed to the use of tropical
hardwood decking, (best known as ipé
or ‘eepay’, which is indisputably
old growth rainforest, even though
it is often packaged otherwise).
We have tried to
develop products that take are viable
alternatives to this material. Additionally,
all of our products are PVC- and Vinyl-free.
PVC is not a bad material per se,
but it presents life-cycle problems
in the existing recycling environment.
Our most significant
environmental step to date has been
the development of CorrectDeck
CX. This product is the culmination
of years of research into decking
performance and recycled plastic engineering.
The breakthrough is the combination
of recycled polypropylene and wood
fiber covered with a high performance
layer of new polypropylene.
This combination
offers the highest level of stain,
fade, and antimicrobial performance
currently available. Incorporating
higher levels of recycled feedstock
into your high-end product is very
unusual – generally, higher-end
products include less recycled content.
The other products
that compete in the ultra-low maintenance
composite decking space for the most
part do not incorporate any recycled
content that comes from outside their
own factory at all, and most are made
of PVC. Correct Building Products,
LLC is a PVC-free
company.
We look forward to
working with you on your project.
We can help consult with you on the
best way to maximize the use of your
outdoor living space, recycling jobsite
scrap, and obtaining LEED credits
for design, including credits for
onsite water usage with our RainEscape
product.
