The place for all your outdoor living space!
Over 30 years of composite decking. Zero structural field failures – ever. MoistureShield’s proprietary Solid Core™ technology fully encapsulates every wood fiber in plastic, creating the only composite boards on the market warranted for installation on the ground, in the ground, or submerged in water. We carry the complete lineup at both our Illinois locations.
Composite Decking, Railing & Lighting Built on Solid Core™
Five composite decking collections from entry-level to premium, a coordinated railing system, and integrated LED lighting – every board protected by the Solid Core Difference™.
30 Years. Zero Structural Field Failures.
Every composite decking brand claims durability. MoistureShield can prove it. Their Solid Core™ technology fully encapsulates individual wood fibers in plastic before the board is assembled – not just capping the surface after. The result is an impermeable barrier that water, insects, mold, and rot cannot breach, even at cut ends and fastener holes.
That distinction is what makes MoistureShield the only composite decking on the market warranted for installation in the ground, or fully submerged in water. Every other composite brand voids coverage the moment boards contact soil or standing water. MoistureShield covers it – docks, pool surrounds, below-grade patios, waterfront builds – without exception.
The track record behind that confidence is real: over 30 years in production with zero structural field failures on record. That’s not a marketing claim – it’s the reason contractors keep coming back. On the premium Vision line, DiamondDefense™ coating adds the toughest scratch and stain surface in MoistureShield’s range, and CoolDeck® technology reduces surface heat by up to 35% compared to standard capped composites in a similar color.
The Solid Core Difference™ – From the Inside Out
MoistureShield protects boards at the material level, not just at the surface. Here is what that means in practice across every product line.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Have questions about MoistureShield products and materials?
MoistureShield uses Solid Core™ technology – individual wood fibers are fully encapsulated in plastic during manufacturing, not just capped on the outside. That creates an impermeable barrier that holds even at cut ends and fastener holes. The result is the only composite decking on the market warranted for installation on the ground, in the ground, or submerged in water. No other composite brand covers that. The proof is in the production record: over 30 years with zero structural field failures.
Yes – and it’s warranted for it. Solid Core™ encapsulates every wood fiber in plastic before the board is assembled, so water has no organic material to penetrate and degrade. MoistureShield is a legitimate choice for dock decking, floating platforms, pool surrounds, below-grade patio flooring, and any application where moisture contact is constant. Traditional capped composites void warranty coverage the moment boards contact soil or standing water.
Vision is the premium line: DiamondDefense™ scratch coating, CoolDeck® heat reduction, highest slip resistance (0.83 dry / 0.77 wet), 50-year structural and 50-year fade and stain warranty. Meridian is mid-range capped composite with CoolDeck® available, 50-year structural and 40-year fade warranty. Stratos blends composite and PVC for a lighter, TruTexture™ surface board. Vantage is the uncapped line = reversible, bendable, and rippable like real wood = with a 50-year structural warranty. Elevate is MoistureShield’s budget entry point with full Solid Core™ protection.
CoolDeck® is MoistureShield’s heat-reflective cap technology – the first of its kind in composite decking. It reduces surface heat absorption by up to 35% compared to standard capped composites in a similar color. It’s available on Vision (Cathedral Stone, Mochaccino, Cold Brew) and Meridian (Catalina, Citadel, Shoreside) collections. If you’re building a pool deck or a south-facing outdoor space with heavy sun exposure, CoolDeck® is worth the consideration.
Vision and Meridian carry a 50-year transferable structural warranty – Vision adds a 50-year fade and stain warranty, Meridian covers 40 years on fade and stain. Vantage and Elevate carry a 50-year transferable structural warranty. Stratos carries a 20-year structural warranty. All warranties are transferable to new homeowners, which adds real value when selling a property with an installed MoistureShield deck.
Yes. MoistureShield’s Solid Core Composite Railing and Traverse™ composite rail line are designed to coordinate with their decking collections. Railing kits include top rails, infill options, and hidden brackets – code-approved and backed by a transferable lifetime limited warranty. Their LED lighting system is plug-and-play, compatible with both composite and aluminum railing, and connects to a Bluetooth-compatible transformer with no wire cutting or splicing required.
