Superior, Proven Technology
What makes Latitudes composite decking and railing special is the Strandex® technology it employs. Because each "strand" of wood fiber is encased in high-density polyethylene, Strandex technology resists the effects of weather and decay in every climate. Our exclusive material blend includes wood fiber ground to a fine consistency—like flour—allowing for a more uniform look throughout the board. And, unlike other composite products, the plastic used in Latitudes contains no post-consumer scrap, which means you get reliable long-term performance. And now, our premier lines are capped with the same durable technology used on golf balls, packaging and on many other products that keep their good looks and performance even after the toughest, most rigorous use. With this technology, you can rest assured that your Latitudes deck will retain its beauty and strength for decades to come.
