Envision Outdoor Living Products Wins Golden Hammer Award for Cool Tread Technology™

January 22, 2025 by Maggie Baker

MOUNT JOY, PA – January 22, 2025 – Envision Outdoor Living Products, manufacturer of Envision composite decking and Fairway Railing collection, was one of just 20 building product manufacturers to earn a coveted 2024 Golden Hammer Award from Hardware+Building Supply Dealer magazine. The distinction, showcased in the January 2025 issue of the magazine, honors new products delivering innovation, value, and shelf appeal.

“We began soliciting nominations months ago, and were pleased to receive more nominations than ever before,” noted Ken Clark, Editor in Chief of Hardware & Building Supply Dealer magazine. “On top of that, fewer honorees have been selected, making the selection process very hard, and giving the class of winners an extra measure of distinction.”

Cool Tread Technology™, part of the Envision’s Distinction Collection of capped composite decking, boast a surface that’s up to 25% cooler with 25% better traction and 61% less moisture absorption than average leading competitors. The technology is available in three coastal-inspired colors: Nantucket Shore, Hampton Dunes, and Seaside Pier.

Like other decking options in the Distinction Collection, the decking is crafted with Envision’s proprietary Compress Technology™, which pairs its EverGrain Core™ with a high-density cap to create durable, low-maintenance decking. This results in decking that offers authentic, deep, non-repeating grains; is resistant to staining, splintering, cracking, rot, and insects; and doesn’t require staining, sanding, or sealing.

“Distinction decking with Cool Tread Technology is a breakthrough in outdoor living, with the ideal combination of beauty, performance, and user comfort,” said Chase Moritz, Director of Marketing and Communication for Envision Outdoor Living Products. “We are honored to earn this recognition from Hardware+Building Supply Dealer as a testament to the product’s innovation and its value to dealers and building pros in the construction industry.”
