hello, I've been a user and supplier of tandeck for 6 years. A professional deck builder for 17 years, researched and tested and traveled the u.s. for other wood alternatives and have not found a better product than tandeck. 100% h.d.p.e. recycled plastic made from pop bottles and milk jugs. The material does not fade or stain and has a lifetime warentee. Unlike all the composite material that has a porous surface that would absorb all stains and spills because the downfall is that they have wood in the material which is why they offer only a 15-20 year residential warentee. The manufacture of tandeck extrudes many different profiles, but I think the toungue and groove style decking is the most popular with no exposed fasteners. We stock 7 different colors in 3/4x6(actual size)x12,16,20's, 4x4x12,2x4x16,2x2x8, for custom railing, all material is solid color through and through, which makes the end of all plastic a finished look.over one hundred very satisfied homeowners are pleased that there is finally a product that is truly a NO maintaince material with matching railing. Installation is very easy, same tools as wood and the blades and bits lasts at least 4 times longer than wood. Tandeck can be drilled, routed, sawned, chiseled just like wood. Possibilities are endless. Best of all is that it is less expensive than most composites.inquiries at
