What is the composition
of CorrectDeck CX?
CorrectDeck
CX is crafted from recovered hardwood
fiber and rugged, UV-stabilized polypropylene.
CorrectDeck CXcombines a unique polypropylene-based
formula with a highly advanced manufacturing
process to yield a superior material. CorrectDeck
CX was the first composite decking manufacturer
to use polypropylene instead of polyethylene.
Polypropylene (think of Tupperware®
or red gas cans) makes it stronger, stiffer,
and lighter than other composites, so it
can span longer distances and withstand
higher temperatures with less expansion
and contraction. Request

What went into the development
of CorrectDeck CX?
In listening to the decking marketplace,
we learned that there has been a value gap
between what people expect of a composite
decking product and what is available. We
saw a need for a truly low maintenance deck
product, with all of the benefits of composite
decking but none of the drawbacks (drawbacks
like significant color fade, grease staining,
and mildew). This product is the only one
on the market which solves the three problems
composite decking customers complain most
about: color fade, staining, and mold/mildew.

Is CorrectDeck CX maintenance
free?
CorrectDeck
CX with antimicrobial technology is
ultra-low maintenance; resisting the mold
and mildew that cause stains and discoloration
on wood and other decking. Request

How long will the antimicrobial
product protection last?
Antimicrobial protection is built-in during
the manufacturing process and will not wash
off or wear away. It is engineered to provide
continuous antimicrobial product protection
for the useful lifetime of the product.

Why can’t I see a distinct
protective layer in CorrectDeck CX?
Rather than being a specific ‘layer’,
our patented technology actually brings
more of the UV, stain resistance, and mildew-resistance
additives to the surface. This is continuously
blended into the material. (See
Illustration) That is why scratching
and hardness is not a concern. Several companies
that specialize in testing the thickness
of co-extrusion layers have not been able
to detect a distinct boundary between the
wood composite substrate and the cap layer.

Will the surface of CorrectDeck
CX peel or wear off?
The surface of CorrectDeck CX will not peel
off due to the fact that the surface layer
is co-extruded into the wood fiber. Under
normal conditions, the surface will last
indefinitely. If exposed to high wear or
abrasion, some wearing is possible. If any
of the substrate becomes exposed, this is
no cause for alarm because it contains the
same UV stabilizers as the rest of the composition
and is not affected.

What happens if the top layer
of CX is gouged or damaged enough to expose
the substrate?
CorrectDeck offers touch up kits for scratches
or gouges in the product that may be purchased
at your local CorrectDeck
dealer.

How do I match a cut edge
to a coated edge of CorrectDeck CX?

local CorrectDeck
Dealer.

How much does CorrectDeck
CX cost?
We do not set pricing for our dealer network
and we do not sell direct to the public,
however we work very hard to keep the pricing
of CorrectDeck CX as low as we can. In most
cases you will find CorrectDeck CX is the
most attractively priced product in the
'Ultra-Low Maintenance' market segment where
it competes with PVC Vinyl decking. And
in general it will be in the price range
of the higher grades of wood. The CX technology
makes this attractive pricing possible,
with its lower cost recycled substrate combined
with a high performance surface.

decking pricing information near you,
