Useful Deck Information

In case you hadn’t heard, Evergrain (by Tamko) has two newer colors available.  I say newer instead of new because I think they’ve been out for a little while.

I just happened to notice them yesterday at an open house that Kansas City Deck Supply was throwing for Kansas City deck contractors, home builders, and vendors.

The one that caught my eye first was “Forest Green” which is suitably named for its deep, dark green color.  I’m not sure how most homeowners purchasing decks in Kansas City would take to it, although it is very unique to composite decking.  I know the Evergrain representative said it’s been well received and was actually created with parks and recreational areas in mind.  I can see it as a perfect fit for that type of application.

The second color, which didn’t stand out so much but more blended in with the other samples laid out, was “Rustic Birch.”  This color looks fairly close to the cedar tone but with more of a “rustic” look.  Wow, what a coincidence!  Seriously, it looks more natural and outdoorsy than the cedar tone.  The “Rustic Birch” is also unique because it adds a different tone to Evergrain’s Vibrance Collection.

The Vibrance Collection is a step up from the Classic Colors due to the blackened pigmented streaking to achieve a tropical hardwood resemblance.  Also, the Vibrance Collection contains more ultraviolet chemical protection.  Therefore, the colors in this family will not fade nearly as much as the Classic Colors.

If you’d like samples or literature of these or any of the Evergrain decking colors, visit http://www.evergrain.com/contactRequest.do and fill out the form.  For deck builders and contractors, your local representative should be more than willing to accommodate.

Hope this helps,
