Envision Outdoor Living Products Introduces Three Decking Colors Featuring New Cool Tread Technology™

Composite decking with Cool Tread Technology is up to 25% cooler underfoot and provides 25% better traction and 61% less moisture absorption.

MOUNT JOY, PA – December 13, 2023 – Envision Outdoor Living Products is combining comfort and beauty with three composite decking colors featuring its new Cool Tread Technology™. Part of the Distinction collection of capped composite decking, the three new colors with Cool Tread Technology boast a surface that’s up to 25% cooler with 25% better traction and 61% less moisture absorption than average leading competitors.

Developed in response to consumer demand and trends toward warmer greys and browns, the three new coastal-inspired colors comprise Nantucket Shore, with warm grey hues reminiscent of a light mist on the shorefront; Hampton Dunes, a beautiful blend of sandy tones found on a morning beach stroll; and Seaside Pier, a greige color that mimics the shades found in a perfectly weathered boardwalk. Like other decking options in the Distinction collection, the three new colors feature bold highlights and enticing richness designed to emulate the textures and natural color variations of exotic woods.

“Cool Tread Technology enhances our premium Distinction Collection even further, offering greater comfort underfoot paired with the leading traction and durability our decking already provides,” said Shara Gamble, President for Envision Outdoor Living Products.  “Nantucket Shore, Hampton Dunes, and Seaside Pier combine rich beauty with a cooler surface and high performance, elevating the outdoor living space in both form and function.”

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 manufacturing process 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.

3 Deck Plans to Inspire Your Next Project

3 Deck Designs to Inspire Your Next Project

By adding an outdoor living space to the exterior of a home, you’re boosting the property value while creating a relaxing oasis. Whether you’re a homeowner looking to tackle the project on your own or a pro tasked with bringing your client’s vision to life, finding the right deck plan is important.

What can make finding the right deck design challenging is narrowing down the details. Often all you need find a solution is a little inspiration. The outdoor living experts at Envision are here to share three deck plans to get your next project started.

An overhead view of an Envision composite deck.

1. A Deck Plan with a Built-in Half Moon

When thinking of deck design ideas, it’s easy to assume that you can’t do anything other than a square shape. For a truly unique outdoor living space, it’s worth considering adding a half moon into one side of the deck. Just as the name suggests, a half moon usually means capping one end of the deck off with rounded edge.

One of the great aspects of this deck design is you won’t have to bend the boards to create it. Once the rounded half moon design is drawn out, you just cut the ends of the boards to create the rounded shape. Plus, there’s an added benefit if you choose to build this deck design with Envision: Envision composite decking has a solid EverGrain core, which means once you cut the boards for a half moon, there’s no need to cap the end of the boards.

2. Create a Distinctive Space with Multiple Levels

One of the biggest trends in modern deck design is creating a space that has multiple levels. There’s a lot of flexibly with this kind of design, and it has the flexibility to work around various types of terrain. For example, if there’s a steep grade, having multiple levels makes it easier to utilize the entire space. 

It’s also important to remember that the levels of a deck can easily be more gradual. Adding a level that’s a few steps up or down, for example, helps create a more natural separation for different activities, like enjoying a view or relaxing in a hot tub.

To really nail down the finer points of this deck design, you’ll want to map out the square footage of each level. This is not only crucial for finding out how much composite decking you’ll need, but ensuring you have the right information to get a deck permit.

3. Traditional Comfort Deck Space with Stairs

If you’re looking for deck design ideas, there’s nothing wrong with going for a classic. Traditional square- or rectangle-shaped decks are popular for a reason. The simplicity of the deck design makes it much more approachable for homeowners looking to build the space on their own, and pros can knock them out efficiently.

Another benefit of choosing this traditional deck design is that it fits in with almost any home. Plus, you can add stairs that act as a welcoming gateway to the backyard. With a square or rectangular deck design, there’s also room for craftmanship to really bring the space to life. This might include incorporating an inlay or picture framing into the deck design. Deck inlays are a great way to showcase your unique style and/or installation skill.

To get a rough idea of the size this deck design can be, the industry average is around a 12-foot-by-12-foot space. Imagine a four-pointed star or other striking pattern built into the middle of a square deck sporting a contrasting color guaranteed to catch the eye.

Envision Helps Turn Your Vision into a Reality

Now that we’ve put a spotlight on three deck design to inspire your next project, you’ll need the right products to bring it to life. At Envision Outdoor Living Products, we have composite decking and deck and porch railing that are truly Different by Design.

How Much Does It Cost to Build a Composite Deck

How Much Does It Cost to Build a Composite Deck?

When you’re looking to build an outdoor living space, one of the first aspects to consider is the investment. While composite decking has a higher up-front cost than traditional wood, comparing the details of each material doesn’t give you the whole picture. In fact, there are a variety of factors that go into the cost of building a composite deck from the size of the space to the specific product that’s chosen for the project.

In this post, we’ll go through those factors so that you have a better idea on the type of composite deck that will fit your budget.

How Much Does Composite Decking Cost?

On average, the cost of composite decking ranges from $14 to $32 dollars per square foot, and we’re including the framing materials, decking, fasteners, etc. Part of the reason why the cost has a wide range is that many composite decking brands have a variety of collections at different price points to choose from. It’s important to mention that a large part of what makes the cost of composite decking is its durability and aesthetic.

For some more guidance on what it would cost to build a composite deck, we’ve included an easy-to-use calculator in this post. You can choose between some of the most popular layouts and Envision decking collections. Keep in mind, this calculator will give you a cost estimate of only the decking boards. You will have to include the cost of the framing, fasteners and labor if you choose to hire a contractor for your build.


*Price estimates generated are only for the cost of decking material, and retail prices may vary in different regions across the US.

Envision composite decking is the only product on the market that’s made with compression technology. It’s a proprietary process that creates a best-in-class bond between the cap and core. It’s resistant to chipping, warping, and splintering all while sporting a deep non-repeating grain that captures the natural elegance of wood.

Composite Deck Size Directly Influences the Cost

One of the biggest factors that will influence the cost of a composite deck is the size of the outdoor living space you’re looking to build. Not only does the deck size determine the cost of the composite decking, but it also gives you insight into the labor cost as well.

A 12 by 12-foot composite deck is a popular choice for homeowners. It has space for a variety of activities while being a good option for not going over budget. This type of deck would range from $2,000 to $5,000 dollars to complete the project. Based on that range, you can start to figure out what kind of space can be built for your budget.

The Long-Term Value of Composite Decking

Since the cost of composite decking is often compared to traditional wood, it’s important to break down the long-term value of each material. The initial cost of using traditional pressure treated wood is lower than composite decking. However, as time goes by, the cost will start to rise. With traditional wood, there’s regular maintenance that needs to happen. Typically, homeowners with wood decks spend an average of $700 to $1,000 dollars each year if keeping up with regular maintenance.

Much of that long-term cost comes from having to buy and apply sealant and deck cleaners. With composite decking, you won’t have those high ongoing maintenance costs, making it appealing for homeowners who are looking for their outdoor living space to retain value for years to come.

Envision Outdoor Living is Here to Support Your Project

If you’re interested in building your dream outdoor living space, Envision is here to help. We have composite decking collections for nearly any budget with colors that spotlight the natural beauty of the outdoors. With outdoor living products that are truly Different by Design, it’s our goal to help bring your composite deck vision to life.
