You're right to point out the fact that it's not accurate to equate synthetic decking products with NO maintenance. This is a common misconception. Composite, PVC and synthetic decks don't need to be sanded, sealed or stained but they will need an occasional cleaning to continue to look good. The best thing a deck owner can do (with any deck material) is to make sure you periodically blow or sweep off loose organic debris and give it a good cleaning with an environmentally responsible cleaner once or twice a year. Fiberon Horizon Decking is the composite decking product that we've put our 10 year stain and fade warranty on. This product also comes with our standard 20-year performance warranty. The stain and fade resistance are due to a patent pending technology called PermaTech that encases the composite material with an outer coating that is especially stain and fade resistant. Horizon decking comes in 4 solid colors with a deep wood emboss and really soon we're launching Horizon Tropics, a multi-chromatic product that utilizes the same PermaTech technology but with the rich look of tropical hardwoods (but that's a secret :)). We also offer Fiberon Sensibuilt PVC decking with a limited lifetime performance warranty and a 10-year stain and fade warranty. Sensibuilt has it's own unique surface technology offering stain and fade resistance. These are some great looking products that offer the next generation in performance for composite and PVC decking. You can check out our web site.. Thanks, Marc Fiber Composites Hi Guys,
