FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How did A.E.R.T. get started in Composites?
Since 1989, AERT has pioneered the use of recycled polyethylene plastic in the manufacturing of composite
building materials.
What is MoistureShield made out of?
Recycled wood fiber and polyethylene plastic.
Why should I buy MoistureShield instead of a competitor product?
Our decking materials continue to pay for themselves with low costs and long-lasting durability. Unlike some
composite decks, we don’t need a protective coat to cover our boards. Our advanced technology protects
against stains, mold and mildew all the way to the core. It is the only deck product that can be installed on
and/or in the ground and underwater.
How is MoistureShield priced compared to other composites?
We are a mid-range priced composite with top quality features and benefits, offering the best value in the
marketplace.
Why does MoistureShield® have a limited lifetime warranty and other composites have much
shorter warranties?
Because of our total encapsulation, our products are manufactured under several unique patents wherein
the wood fibers are aligned and encapsulated in plastic. The plastic surrounds and bonds to the wood fibers,
making them moisture resistant.
Can MoistureShield be installed in a submerged condition?
Yes.
Will MoistureShield show scratches and gouges from foot traffic and outdoor furniture being
moved on it?
Any surface will show evidence of normal wear and tear. Scuffs and scratches should be no problem as
MoistureShield is a dense product. Gouges from furniture cannot be removed but allowing them to weather
will bring the color consistency back to a point that will make it less noticeable.

No.
