Newtechwoods Composite Decking Combines Aesthetics with Durability

Imagine an outdoor space that resists weathering while maintaining the authentic charm of natural wood—a deck, patio, or poolside area requiring minimal upkeep yet perpetually elegant. The UltraShield® Naturale™ composite decking series represents this ideal, merging natural aesthetics with engineered performance and sustainability to redefine outdoor living.

A Palette of Possibilities: The UltraShield® Naturale™ Color Collection

This series offers meticulously curated hues designed to satisfy discerning tastes while inspiring residential and commercial projects. Each color achieves visual harmony between organic authenticity and contemporary sophistication.

Structural Innovation: Decking Profiles Engineered for Performance

The series provides multiple profile options to accommodate diverse installation requirements and design visions:

• Cortes Series (US07): Solid-core boards (138 x 22.5 mm) ideal for decking and stair treads with direct screw-fastening.
• Magellan Series (US01): Grooved solid boards permitting concealed clip or screw installation.
• Monarch Series (US129/US125): Arced profiles with drainage channels, offering dual-sided installation flexibility.
• Bell Series (US53): Low-profile grooves optimize hidden fastener systems for seamless surfaces.

Complete System Integration: Professional-Grade Accessories

The product ecosystem includes precision-engineered components:

• Composite deck finishers for polished edges
• Concealed fastening systems eliminating visible hardware
• Specialized spacing tools for accurate installations

Material Science: The Composition of Excellence

The UltraShield® system combines:

1. Composite Core: High-density recycled wood fibers (hardwood/softwood blends) providing structural integrity.
2. Co-Extruded Shield: Polymer armor layer resisting scratches, stains, and fading through complete encapsulation.

Performance Validation: Rigorous Testing Protocols

Independent testing confirms exceptional resistance to:

• Stain penetration (common household substances)
• Abrasion (heavy foot traffic simulations)
• UV radiation (accelerated weathering chambers)
• Thermal shock (boiling water immersion)

Applications Beyond Decking

This engineered material serves diverse exterior applications:

• Pool surrounds (superior moisture resistance)
• Exterior cladding (weatherproof facade systems)
• Railing systems (integrated safety solutions)
• Landscape features (planter boxes, outdoor furniture)

The Sustainable Advantage

Each 10 square feet of decking repurposes approximately:

• 3,000 plastic bags
• 1,000 gallon-sized plastic containers

Annually, this manufacturing process diverts over 12 million pounds of plastic from landfills while producing fully recyclable products.

Installation Considerations

Professional results require attention to:

• Joist spacing (16" residential, 12" commercial)
• Material acclimation (48+ hours pre-installation)
• Cut-end sealing (water-based sealants required)
• Fastener selection (composite-specific screws)

Commercial Adoption

Hospitality and retail sectors increasingly specify these materials for:

• Durable outdoor dining areas
• Low-maintenance hotel terraces
• Weather-resistant commercial facades
