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.
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.
