TimberTech gives you more ways to enjoy the natural look of wood without the maintenance that comes with it. Unlike traditional wood, TimberTech decking resists moisture, mold, and insect damage — so it won’t splinter, crack, or stain. It’s easy to clean and backed by a fade- and stain-resistance warranty.

Engineered Beauty. Proven Performance. Design Without Limits.

TimberTech represents 25+ years of material science innovation in service of one principle: enable architects to specify authentic beauty with engineered performance, lifetime durability, and environmental responsibility. No maintenance burden. No compromise. Just lasting design.

Fire resistance

Class A* Fire Rated

Meets fire-rating standards in regulated and fire-prone environments where wood is restricted. *ASTM E84

Warranty

Industry – Leading Warranties

We stand behind our performance and beauty with some of the best warranties in the industry.

Low Maintenance

Low – Maintenance Design

No staining, sanding, sealing, or painting. Lower lifetime costs than traditional wood.

Sustainable

Up to 85% Recycled Content

Landfill waste transformed into lasting decking. Fully recyclable at end-of-life.

Cool Touch

Up to 16°C Cooler Touch

Advanced Polymer’s heat-reflecting technology keeps surface temperature significantly cooler than competitors.

Why Material Science Matters?

TimberTech outperforms traditional materials where it counts. The engineering difference shows up in real conditions – coastal humidity, intense sun, constant foot traffic – over decades.

Four-Sided Capping Across the Profile

Every board gets encapsulated on all four sides, including the grooves. Stops moisture from creeping into the end grain—where composite boards typically fail first in wet environments. In coastal builds, this detail matters.

Real Environmental Numbers

Composite: 85% recycled content. Advanced Polymer: 60%. Made from plastic film, old siding, construction waste. Designed for full-circle recyclability. Lifecycle data shows 26% less carbon impact than sustainably-harvested pine over 100 years.

Made in the USA

Manufacturing in Wilmington, Scranton, and Boise ensures consistent quality, code compliance, and reliable supply chain. No sourcing from multiple suppliers across continents.

Designed for Demanding Environments

From coastal and high-traffic hospitality spaces to sustainable residential installations, TimberTech performs where other materials compromise.

Your Design Freedom. No Material Compromises.

TimberTech unlocks design solutions that natural materials cannot. Design exactly what you envision without material limitations.

Multiwidth Boards

Mix narrow (89 mm), standard (140 mm), and wide (184 mm) profiles to create custom patterns and visual rhythms impossible with conventional decking.

Heat-Bending Capability

Need a curve? We bend boards on-site. Eliminates complex custom fabrication. Talk to us about radius specifications and limits. (Advanced Polymer only)

No-Gap Seamless Joinery

Engineered profiles eliminate traditional gaps, creating continuous visual flows and precision detailing throughout your design.

Color Stability Across Collections

Specify exact color from our palette. Maintains consistency across your project backed by a 50-Year Fade & Stain Warranty. No fading, no variation, no surprises.

Made from Landfill. Built for Decades.

Every TimberTech board starts life as recycled materials, including plastic film, old siding, and construction scrap that would otherwise end up in landfills. According to independent Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data, TimberTech decking has a 26% lower carbon footprint than hardwood decking over a 100-year period. The advantage grows over time thanks to its low-maintenance design: unlike wood, which typically requires regular oiling and upkeep, TimberTech requires no annual maintenance. Combined with Advanced Polymer’s lifetime warranty, fewer replacements over the decades can contribute to a lower overall environmental impact.

We recycle what others can’t

We don’t just recycle the easy stuff. We’re continually innovating to repurpose hard-to-recycle plastics other manufacturers can’t, diverting roughly 227,000 tonnes of potentially landfill-bound waste every year to create our decking, and advancing toward our goal of around 450,000 tonnes annually. By engineering products that last longer, we extend the impact of every kilogram we reclaim — keeping more material out of landfills and reducing our overall environmental footprint.

Here’s how we’re making an impact

Our mission goes beyond outdoor living. It’s about shaping a sustainable future. By advancing recycling, protecting forests, and lowering carbon emissions, we’re making a positive impact today, so generations to come can enjoy the spaces we create together.

~1.2 million tonnes of waste repurposed

Since 2019, we’ve diverted over a million tonnes of waste and scrap into our products.

~95% of water recycled

We conserve millions of gallons of water every year through the closed-loop filtration systems in our Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Idaho facilities.

~99% internal scrap reused

We minimize production waste and our environmental footprint by incorporating scrap into our products.

4M+ trees saved

Homeowners have helped preserve the equivalence of over four million trees by choosing TimberTech over wood since 2001.
