DECKING RECLAIM YOUR WEEKENDS Free time was meant for rest and relaxation, not sanders and deck stain. Fortunately, Fiberon decking is incredibly easy to maintain. No more Saturdays spent sanding or re-staining your deck or paying someone else to do it. Our patented PermaTech® cap layer protects against spills, stains, and UV rays, while the solid composite construction means no splintering, cracking, or rotting. Wood decking simply can’t compare. page 9 | Decking | fiberondecking.
BEST SYMMETRY B E A U T I F U L LY B A L A N C E D The natural wood beauty is undeniable; the advanced composite technology, unbeatable. Saturated colors with multi-chromatic streaking deliver authentic appeal you simply can’t find elsewhere. The exclusive PermaTech cap layer protects against fading and staining, while the durable composite core ensures exceptional resistance to rotting, cracking, insects, and decay. This is nature and science in perfect harmony. This is Symmetry®.
FYI Symmetry Decking features more random natural graining than other composite decking. There are no visible repeats or easy-to-discern patterns, which gives the boards a more natural, authentic wood look. Symmetry Decking in Cinnabar. page 11 | Decking | fiberondecking.
BEST HORIZON D R A M AT I C A L LY D I F F E R E N T Bold and dramatic, Horizon® Decking delivers rich colors, elegant streaking, and distinct grain patterns. Four-sided capping ensures superior stain and fade resistance plus a polished appearance on top and bottom. The durable composite core resists splintering, cracking, rotting, insects, and decay. And all at a price that is comparable to others’ non-reversible decking.
FYI If you have an open space beneath your deck, a reversible board like Horizon ensures a clean, finished look on the bottom as well as the top. Horizon Decking in Ipe. page 13 | Decking | fiberondecking.
BEST PARAMOUNT READY FOR ANYTHING Able to withstand moisture, dents, and even flames, Paramount® PVC Decking truly is ready for anything. Perfect for docks and other waterside applications, Paramount Decking is easy to handle, easy to maintain, and approved for use in all Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) zones. And so tough it carries a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
FYI Lightweight Paramount is wood-free, so there’s no organic content to promote mold growth. It’s an ideal choice for docks and other waterside applications. Paramount PVC Decking in Sandstone. page 15 | Decking | fiberondecking.
BETTER PROTECT ADVANTAGE ALL-AROUND PERFORMER Style, durability, and easy maintenance — ProTect Advantage® Decking has it all. Available in three gorgeous colors with multi-chromatic streaking, these boards feature our exclusive PermaTech cap layer on three sides for exceptional resistance to staining and fading. Solid composite core resists splintering, cracking, rotting, insects, and decay. A 25-year warranty provides added peace of mind.
FYI Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) zone is the name given to land that sits between natural woodlands and developed areas. ProTect Advantage Decking in Chestnut. page 17 | Decking | fiberondecking.
GOOD GOOD LIFE MORE FOR YOUR MONEY Good Life Decking has always offered an unbeatable combination of performance, durability, and value. And now, Good Life Decking offers the rich, nuanced look of tropical hardwoods with three new multi-chromatic colors, Beach House, Bungalow, and Tuscan VIlla. It’s never been easier to elevate the style and sophistication of your outdoor space while keeping your budget down to earth.
FYI Good Life Decking offers a like-wood appearance and popular color options at a price point that’s closer to pressure-treated lumber. Why settle? Good Life Decking in Beach House. page 19 | Decking | fiberondecking.
GOLDEN BROWNS This category covers everything from golden tans to light brown. Warm and natural, these shades complement any architecture. No wonder it’s the most popular color family for decking. Symmetry Horizon Paramount Paramount WARM SIENNA IPE BROWNSTONE SANDSTONE CLASSIC BROWNS COLOR From rich midtones to deepest brown, these colors add depth and drama to your space. The darker choices are especially well-suited to Craftsman-style or Mediterranean homes.
NEW FOR 2019 REDDISH BROWNS Timeless, classic, and yet still a bit unique: that’s red. For warmth, energy, and landscaping that pops, consider rich Cinnabar, elegant Rosewood, or always appealing Western Cedar.

With Fiberon composite railing, there’s no sanding, scraping, or repainting. And definitely no splinters. Drop the paint brush. Free time is calling. page 23 | Railing | fiberondecking.

DECK FASTENERS THE RIGHT HARDWARE FOR THE JOB Little details can make a big difference. Like fasteners. You can choose hidden fasteners for a smooth, flawless surface or a face-fastening system with color-matched plugs for a neat, polished finish. Either way, you’ll have a secure space and a look you’re sure to love. page 27 | Fasteners | fiberondecking.
PHANTOM HIDDEN FASTENERS PHANTOM UNIVERSAL HIDDEN FASTENER The new Fiberon Phantom® Universal Hidden Deck Fastener is easy to install, helps minimize lateral board movement, and works with most leading grooved composite decking brands.
HOW THEY WORK Hidden clips ensure a smooth surface and more seamless transition from indoor to outdoor spaces. For the Phantom universal fastener, the clip is installed into the groove. Then, a screw is driven straight down into the joist (90° angle). For all other Phantom fasteners, the clip is installed into the groove and a screw is driven into the joist at an angle. page 29 | Fasteners | fiberondecking.
CORTEX HIDDEN FACE FASTENERS CORTEX HIDDEN FACE FASTENING SYSTEM • • Installed on the board’s surface • • Use with square edge or grooved edge boards • • A color-matched plug made from Fiberon decking minimizes the appearance of hardware • • Pre-drilling is required at 40° or below. We strongly recommend pre-drilling in all instances • • May be used on stairs • • Not for use on fascia or risers, or with Good Life Decking Symmetry Decking in Warm Sienna and Burnt Umber.
HOW THEY WORK Color-matched plugs camouflage screw heads across the deck surface, stairs, and perimeter boards. A special driving tip automatically puts the Cortex® screw at a precise depth. Then, the color-matched plug is tapped in with a hammer. page 31 | Fasteners | fiberondecking.
