TAMKO® Building Products, Inc. Now Supplying Envision PVC™ Decking

JOPLIN, Mo. – January 20, 2009 – In response to PVC decking’s increasing popularity among consumers, TAMKO Building Products, Inc. introduces Envision PVC deck boards. Envision PVC deck boards are lightweight, easy to install and require no pre-drilling with the added convenience of low-maintenance.

Envision PVC decking is manufactured with advanced, cellular vinyl technology for an extremely hard surface that provides impressive performance and durability. Envision PVC contains no organic fillers, to create a solid core PVC material for consistent density throughout and exceptional moisture resistance. Envision PVC’s intelligent design, which features grooved boards, allows for easy installation with hidden fasteners.

Envision PVC features a wood grain texture and is available in three, aesthetically appealing colors – Taupe, Sand and Grey. Envision PVC’s surface is infused with unique pigments for UV protection and long-lasting colors. Envision PVC offers many additional features including high-heat resistance, which helps lead to a cooler deck during hot summer months, and exceptional resistance to staining, scratching and splitting.

“We’re thrilled to supply a high-quality PVC deck board and we think our customers will be as excited as we are,” said Stephen McNally, vice president of sales and marketing for TAMKO. “We think Envision PVC presents a unique opportunity for our customers to increase their sales.”

Envision PVC deck boards are offered in 12-, 16- and 20-foot lengths. To enhance the appearance of Envision PVC, Skirt Boards will also be available. In addition, Envision PVC comes with a 25-year limited warranty against rotting, cracking, delaminating and termite damage and has a Class A rating E-84 for flame spread.
