“We developed CorrectDeck CX with Microban protection in response to homeowner concerns that composite decking needed to be improved in several areas, especially mold and mildew resistance,” said Martin Grohman, president of Correct Building Products. “Microban antimicrobial technology makes those improvements because it inhibits the growth of mold and mildew that can cause unsightly stains and spots.

“It truly fulfills the promise of low maintenance that composite deck owners expect,” Grohman said. CorrectDeck’s co-extrusion process engineers Microban protection into each board. Its antimicrobial properties resist mold and mildew by helping to prevent the colonization of mold and mildew that can cause black spots. In addition, CorrectDeck CX resists stains from grease spatter or food spills because wood fibers are coated with plastic, reducing their exposure. Protection of those exposed fibers and the addition of concentrated UV inhibitors enable the planks to resist color fading.

“Other composite deck materials are susceptible to fading because wood fibers were exposed to the elements,” Grohman said. “but because our decking protects fibers, darker colors won’t lose their rich look and lighter colors won’t look black when wet.”

“We’re very enthusiastic about Microban antimicrobial product protection and what it means for our customers,” Grohman said. “We’ve always made a very strong, sag-resistant deck through our use of polypropylene instead of polyethylene, and now with CorrectDeck CX with Microban product protection, we’ve developed a composite deck that really is low-maintenance for homeowners and businesses.”

Correct Building Products® LLC, headquartered in Biddeford, Maine, is the first and most experienced manufacturer of polypropylene-based composite decking products.
