Why Winnipeg Homeowners Are Choosing MoistureShield Decking

Why Winnipeg Homeowners Are Choosing MoistureShield Decking

Your deck is a central highlight of your outdoor living space. Throughout the summer, it's your primary hub for socializing, relaxing, and enjoying Manitoba's glorious sunshine. Barbecues, birthday parties, visits with loved ones, and peaceful, contemplative moments all take place with your deck as a backdrop. But what if it's time for your deck to undergo repairs, expansions, or be replaced altogether? Or what if you don't have a deck at all (yet), and your next big project is to design and construct one?

No matter the circumstances, deck building begins with selecting the right building materials. And at STAR Building Materials in Winnipeg, our dedicated and knowledgeable team often helps clients explore the pros and cons of various decking options. MoistureShield is a premium wood composite decking option that offers exceptional value and performance and stands up remarkably well to the realities of Winnipeg's harsh climate. Many Winnipeg homeowners are opting to invest in MoistureShield decking materials. Below, we’ll explore the product and its benefits in a little more detail:

The Unmatched Features of MoistureShield Decking

Composite decking is an attractive, durable, and low-maintenance alternative to traditional wood decking. Composed of a combination of wood fibres and synthetic materials, it often resembles wood and comes in a wide range of different colours, grains, and styles.

MoistureShield has been manufacturing high-quality composite decking for more than 30 years and has developed some standout innovations that set its products apart:

Moisture Resistance

MoistureShield's proprietary Solid Core technology makes it the only wood composite decking in the industry that can be installed in direct contact with the ground or underground, as well as underwater. An impermeable barrier protects each board from moisture damage, rot, and insects while maintaining a high-performance surface that maintains its integrity over the long term.

Temperature Control

One common complaint about composite decking is that it tends to heat up in the sun. In response, MoistureShield has developed CoolDeck Technology, available on select decking products, which reduces heat absorption by as much as 35%. This makes it an ideal choice for families with young children or pets or for anyone who enjoys walking barefoot on the deck on hot days.
