The place for all your outdoor living space!
For over 20 years, Envision has crafted composite decking through a compression-molding process that produces boards denser, stronger, and more wood-like than extruded alternatives. Boards that absorb 61% less moisture than average competitors and carry a 25-year residential warranty. We stock the full lineup at both our Illinois locations.
Composite Decking, Railing & Lighting for Every Style
Four composite decking collections built with Compress Technology™, a full Fairway railing lineup in four materials, and coordinated LED deck lighting – all designed and manufactured in the USA.
A Different Manufacturing Process Produces a Different Board
Most composite decking is extruded – material is forced through a die under continuous pressure to produce a uniform profile. Envision takes a different route. Their Compress Technology™ uses intense heat and pressure to compression-mold each board, physically bonding the cap to the EverGrain Core™ and pressing non-repeating grain patterns into the surface. The result is a denser, more stable board that feels solid underfoot – closer to hardwood than hollow composite.
Independent testing backs that up. Envision boards absorb 61% less moisture than average competitors, deliver 25% better traction to reduce slip hazards, and show 19% greater strength in flexion tests. EverGrain – Envision’s original uncapped composite – earned the highest rating in Consumer Reports composite decking testing, a benchmark the brand has held for over two decades.
On the railing side, the Fairway collection brings four materials – aluminum, composite, steel, and vinyl – under one ordering system. The 2025 E-Fit™ Railing Innovations launch added FastFit™ pre-assembled panels and LockFit™ balusters that can cut installation time on the job site by up to 300% – a real advantage for contractors working multiple projects.
Compress Technology™ – The Process Behind the Board
Envision’s manufacturing approach sets it apart from every extruded composite brand in the market. Here’s what that means in practice.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Have questions about Envision products and materials?
Envision uses compression molding rather than extrusion – the process most competitors rely on. Heat and pressure physically bond the cap to the EverGrain Core™ and press non-repeating grain patterns directly into each board. The outcome is a denser, more stable product that absorbs 61% less moisture than average competitors, delivers 25% better traction, and scores 19% higher on strength testing. EverGrain has held the top spot in Consumer Reports composite decking rankings for over two decades.
Distinction is Envision’s premium capped composite – layered multi-tonal colors and deep grain for high-end residential builds, available in grooved and square-edge profiles with a 5-year full-start period. Expression uses bold solid colors with Cool Tread Technology for sun-exposed decks, also capped and backed by a 25-year warranty. Ridge Premium is a capped, fluted-profile board that’s 30% lighter for easier installation, with a 25-year residential warranty. EverGrain is the uncapped original – the board that built the brand – offering the deepest authentic wood appearance at the most accessible price point, also covered by a 25-year warranty.
Compress Technology™ is Envision’s proprietary manufacturing process. Instead of forcing material through a continuous extrusion die, each board is compression-molded under high heat and pressure. This eliminates internal air pockets, bonds the cap directly to the composite core, and presses non-repeating grain patterns into the surface in a single step. The practical result is a board with a solid feel underfoot, better moisture resistance, and grain patterns that don’t look machine-stamped.
Fairway is Envision’s full railing system, offering four materials – aluminum, composite, steel, and vinyl – across Modern, Designer, and Traditional style profiles. That’s more combinations than most single-material railing brands. The 2025 E-Fit™ Railing Innovations launch added FastFit™ pre-assembled panels and LockFit™ snap-in balusters that cut installation time by up to 300% on the job site. Six infill options per system include cable, horizontal balusters, glass slat, and more.
All Envision decking collections – Distinction, Expression, Ridge Premium, and EverGrain – carry a 25-year residential and commercial limited warranty. Distinction and EverGrain include an industry-leading 5-year full-start period, which provides complete coverage during the first five years of installation. Ridge Premium carries a 3-year full-start period on Cool Tread Technology boards.
Yes. No painting, staining, or sealing is required. Routine cleaning with mild soap, warm water, and a soft brush keeps Envision boards looking new. The compression-molded cap resists staining, fading, and surface scratches over the warranty period. Capped lines like Distinction, Expression, and Ridge Premium offer the strongest stain and fade protection; EverGrain, as an uncapped board, will weather naturally in the first few months before settling into a stable appearance.
