Why Envision Is One of the Best Composite Decking Options
There’s a reason why composite decking has become a preferred choice for outdoor living spaces. Compared to wood, it’s easier to maintain and is more durable, and it offers the flexibility to create unforgettable designs. Given the rise in popularity over the past 15 years, it’s not surprising that there’s a wide variety of composite decking brands to choose from.
At first glance, it can be challenging to determine what makes one composite deck board different from another. But Envision composite decking is different. Keep reading as we take a deep dive into what sets Envision apart and discover why it’s one of the best options for your next outdoor living project.
Designed for Style and Built for Performance
Whether you’re a pro or homeowner, most people want composite decking that will hold up for years and look great. At Envision Outdoor Living, we hit both points by creating composite decking that’s Designed for Style and Built for Performance. Let’s break that down:
- Designed for Style: While some composite decking products have an almost “plastic” look to them, ours takes inspiration from natural exotic hardwoods. The deep, non-repeating grain and wide variety of colors and highlights lend the authenticity of traditional woods found in nature.
- Built for Performance: It’s not enough for composite deck boards to look good, they need to perform too. Our proprietary Compress Technology™ provides a best-in-class bond between the high-density cap and EverGrain Core™ creating decking that is dense, strong, and built to last. The cap and core physically bond together for decking that is resistant to splitting, splinters, insects, and anything mother nature can throw at it.

What Makes Envision One of the Best Composite Decking Brands?
Don’t take our word for it: Testing data show what exactly separates us from the rest of the pack.
At Envision, we put our capped composite deck boards through a battery of tests to show what it means to be “Built for Performance.” Testing found that our composite decking is:
- 25% Better Traction Than the Average Competitor: The deep, non-repeating grain pressed into every board helps give Envision deck boards better traction underfoot. It’s the perfect choice for decks with pools, hot tubs, or near a body of water. An Envision deck lets you walk with confidence.
- 19% Stronger Than the Average Competitor: A stronger deck board means less wear and tear, resistance to flexing, and a look that lasts long after being installed. Envision composite decking can stand up to and support high level craftsmanship and the wear and tear of everyday life.
- 61% Less Moisture Absorption Than the Average Competitor: The more moisture that a deck board absorbs, the higher the risk for rotting, splitting, and warping. By absorbing less moisture, Envision composite decking performs better to create a space that can thrive in almost any climate.
What About Our Fluted Profile Composite Deck Boards?
Many composite decking brands like Envision have boards with a fluted profile underneath. While some pros and homeowners prefer a full profile board, fluted composite decking is a great option for anyone looking for a more affordable product. Our fluted boards sport the same beauty and quality of our full profile boards but use less material. This makes each board weigh less, which is part of the reason why fluted boards are so easy to work with.
Ridge Premium is our composite decking collection of fluted profile boards. Even though Ridge Premium decking is fluted underneath, the products still have a full 5-1/2” width. Plus, there’s more that sets Ridge Premium apart from the competition.
What Makes Ridge Premium One of the Best Fluted Composite Decking Options?
Just like the full profile testing data we outlined above; Ridge Premium sets the standard for fluted profile deck boards. After going through a rigorous set of tests, we found our fluted boards are:
- 44% Stronger Than the Average Competitors Fluted Profile Boards: The Ridge Premium Collection is built for performance. You’ll have confidence that every deck board will stand the test of time. It’s one of the best fluted composite decking options to support your craftsmanship and vision.
- 33% Better Traction Than the Average Competitors Fluted Profile Boards: With a deep, non-repeating grain that’s pressed into every board, you get better slip resistance for your outdoor living space. Any deck with a pool, hot tub, or near water that’s going to use a fluted profile board, should choose our Ridge Premium Collection.
- 55% Less Moisture Absorption Than the Average Competitors Fluted Profile Boards: The more moisture that a composite deck board absorbs the higher the risk of it becoming damaged over time. Ridge Premium will perform better in the rain, snow, or any other climate with high levels of moisture.
Exceptional Color Options to Find Your Unique Style
Did you know that three of the most popular composite decking colors are grey, brown, and auburn? These hues offer timeless style and bring their own unique sense of warmth to an outdoor living space. Some of the best composite decking takes these core colors and creates an expansive collection of different shades and hues to choose from.
Envision takes this notion to heart. For example, Spiced Teak is a blend of colors ranging from dark brown to light blonde while Sandstone offers a natural balance of sandy tones. All four of our composite decking collections are designed to spark inspiration and give you options to find your unique style.
