TimberTech Vintage Collection
The TimberTech Vintage Collection is part of TimberTech’s “Designer Series” of advanced PVC decking, representing the pinnacle of their product line in terms of aesthetics and performance. This is our preferred material of Alki Deck Builders. Here’s why:
Aesthetics
Thanks to state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques, the TimberTech Vintage Collection stands out for its remarkably authentic wood look. Highlighted aesthetic qualities include:
- Wire-Brushed, Low-Gloss Finish: Each board features a texture and sheen that resembles luxurious hardwoods, offering a sophisticated, understated elegance with detailed grain patterns.
- Richly Varied Colors: Designed with deep color variations and natural streaking, these boards avoid the uniform appearance typical of some composite decking boards, closely mimicking the diverse hues of real wood species.
- Versatile Widths: Available in narrow, standard, and wide options, the Vintage advanced PVC deck boards allow for creative laying patterns, allowing you to personalize your deck’s design.
- Authentic Hardwood Hues: The collection’s palette draws inspiration from the natural world, with colors like Mahogany, Dark Hickory, and Weathered Teak. It offers the beauty of rare woods without the upkeep.
Performance and Durability
The TimberTech Vintage Collection is crafted for excellence in performance and longevity, offering a hassle-free decking option. Here’s a breakdown of its standout features:
100% Synthetic PVC: Crafted entirely from synthetic PVC polymers, without any wood fibers, these boards resist moisture, mold, mildew, and insect damage, ensuring durability and longevity.
- Fully Capped Design: Each board is encapsulated on all sides with a protective acrylic polymer, safeguarding against fading, scratches, and stains, maintaining a vibrant color over time.
- Maintenance-Free: Forget the tedious sanding, staining, or sealing associated with traditional wood decking. The Vintage Collection maintains its stunning appearance with simple, occasional cleaning using mild soap and water.
- Enhanced Safety: An embossed grain pattern provides up to 40% better traction than standard composite deck boards, offering a safer, slip-resistant surface ideal for pool sides or West Seattle’s rainy season.
- Exceptional Fire Resistance: Boasting a Class A Flame Spread Rating, these boards adhere to high fire safety standards, adding an extra layer of security to your outdoor area.
- Comfortably Cool: Engineered with a unique TimberTech Advanced PVC formulation, the boards remain up to 30°F cooler than natural wood and composite products in direct sunlight, ensuring a more comfortable experience.
Sustainability
The TimberTech Vintage Collection stands as a testament to eco-friendly decking, emphasizing sustainability through various initiatives:
- Recycled Materials: Crafted with about 60% recycled content, including repurposed vinyl siding and trim, the Vintage boards help diminish the demand for new raw materials and keep waste out of landfills.
- Fully Recyclable: Once they’ve served their purpose, these PVC decking boards can be completely recycled, contributing to a circular economy where materials are reused rather than discarded.
- Durable Lifespan: The Vintage Collection boasts remarkable durability thanks to advanced protective technology and superior PVC formulations. Backed by a 50-year fade and stain warranty alongside a limited lifetime product warranty, these boards significantly outlast traditional options, reducing the environmental impact of frequent replacements.
- Effortless Upkeep: The need for regular wood deck treatments, which often involve harsh chemicals, is eliminated with Vintage boards’ low-maintenance nature, further lessening their environmental footprint.
