Cardinal Building Products, a building products distributor based in Leola, Pa., announced last week that it will distribute MoistureShield’s composite decking products to lumberyards throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.
“We have extensive experience in decking and recognize how nicely MoistureShield’s innovative product lines fit into our product selection,” said Rick Hess, general manager of Cardinal in a pepared statement. “MoistureShield demonstrates the kind of technology our customers are looking for to best meet their customer’s needs and stand out in the decking marketplace.”
MoistureShield, a division of Oldcastle APG, offers Vision capped composite decking with a modern, variegated appearance and the DiamondDefense capped surface. MoistureShield also features its CoolDeck technology, for select products, which reduces deck board surface temperatures by up to 35%, according to the company. Other products include Infuse decking, which has a wood-grain finish with an ability to withstand total submersion in water; and Vantage, an uncapped composite with the utility of wood. All MoistureShield decking features the Solid Core Difference for advanced strength and moisture resistance.
“We are excited to partner with Cardinal Building Products to help grow our deck offerings in the Mid-Atlantic,” said Todd Braun, vice president of sales for MoistureShield, in the same public statement. “Cardinal is strategically positioned to help us continue to expand our offerings in this region, and they have the decking knowledge to help grow the brand.”
MoistureShield composite decking and railing products are manufactured from 95 percent recycled content and can be installed directly on the ground, in the ground or under water. The line is backed by a warranty against decay, rot, and termite damage, the company stated.
The announcement comes a little more than a week after Mid-State Lumber revealed its plans to carry a full line of MoistureShield decking composite products.
Additionally, last month, Oldcastle APG, a CRH Company, announced that the company’s composite decking business (formerly Advanced Environmental Recycling Technologies (AERT) will operate as MoistureShield.
