Install it quickly…
You can’t enjoy your deck, until you install your deck. Every Advantage deck board has a factory installed ‘groove’ on each side, which substantially decreases your time and labor at installation. Even better? Our Mantis Clip automatically provides proper gapping, no measuring necessary! (If you’re looking for a more traditional installation, not to worry, you can install Advantage just like natural lumber, too). Available in standard lumber sizes (12′, 16′ and 20′) Advantage takes the guesswork out of ordering.
…and with only simple cleaning, enjoy it forever
What if you could have it all, a deck that mimics natures beauty and keeps that look that season after season? Advantage decking has the look of natural exotic hardwoods, without the heavy maintenance. Simple cleaning is all you will need to do to keep your Advantage deck looking great.
Colors That Improve Over Time
All Advantage products lighten gradually over time to a beautiful seasoned tone. As with all-wood materials, this weathering process will be influenced by environmental and exposure conditions and factors.
So what exactly is a ‘composite’ deck anyway?
‘Composite’ materials are defined by combing multiple components to create a new material. PC Advantage composite decking is a combination of wood flour (ground up sawdust from the wood furniture and flooring industries) and molten plastic. By combining wood and plastic you get the best of both worlds; the natural appearance and strength of wood with the durability of plastic. In the manufacturing process, each wood fiber is completely encapsulated in plastic providing ultimate protection from the elements.
Of course it’s important to have a deck that lasts a long time, but I want something that looks like real wood.
Then Advantage decking is for you, with its designer colors, quick easy installation the clean look of no exposed fasteners, and a natural wood grain embossed surface.
I live in the South, what about termites?
Advantage decking won’t rot, split, splinter or crack for any reason, including ant and termite infestation.
Will PC Advantage decking change color over time?
Advantage decking will weather to some degree. How much it weathers depends on your environmental conditions, such as exposure to sunlight and other elements.
Is it easy to install?
Advantage arrives ready to install, right from the factory. There are two preferred methods of installation: from the face with composite deck screws, or for a more finished and clean look, by utilizing the Mantis hidden fastener with the grooves that run down the sides of each board.
Can it be routered?
Advantage routers and cuts just like natural lumber.
What about gluing Xtreme deck boards?
It is not recommended to glue Advantage deck boards.
Or painting?
The plastic polymers found in Advantage decking make it difficult to absorb paint or stain. It is not recommended.
How do I determine how much PC Advantage decking I’ll need for my project?
Advantage decking is manufactured in standard lumber sizes 12′, 16′ and 20′ lengths. A good rule of thumb is to take careful measurements to determine how much decking you will need and then add 10% to account for waste and mistakes. When ordering your material from your local lumber retailer, they will be happy to assist you in determining your needs as well.
Does PC Advantage have a warranty?
We promise you’ll enjoy your Advantage deck for years to come, and we back that with a 20-year warranty.
Is PC Advantage decking hotter than decks made from wood?
Composite decking has more heat retention than natural lumber; be sure to test the product barefoot to see if it will work for you and your family.
How do I repair scratches?
Just like wood decks, Advantage decking can also get scratched. The best way to ‘fix it’? Allow normal wear marks to fade, as they will blend in with the weathered color.
It’s easy to say words like: won’t warp, crack split or splinter…ever. But it is quite another to back it up, in writing with a 20-year warranty. It’s the Advantage difference.
