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.

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.
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 500 million pounds of potentially landfill-bound waste every year to create our decking, and advancing toward our goal of 1 billion pounds annually. By engineering products that last longer, we extend the impact of every pound 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.
~2.6B pounds of waste repurposed
Since 2019, we’ve diverted billions of pounds 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.
