Correct-Deck RapidRail Antimicrobial Decking

As Good As Grass editor:
Decking is the modern outdoor flooring of choice. A dirt busting solution is now available to meet the demands of an outdoor product. Our artificial grass consumers who have read about our astro turf cleaning services will be especially interested in this new antimicrobial decking product.

Provides an aesthetically appealing decking with low-luster finish and the warm look of painted wood.

Correct Building Products(R) LLC, manufacturer of CorrectDeck(R) composite decking, introduces the newest addition to its outdoor flooring product line: CorrectDeck RapidRail(R) CX in Stone White with Microban(R) antimicrobial product protection. This new product has a low-luster finish that provides the warm look of wood, providing a high-end look that complements composite decks. CorrectDeck RapidRail CX is a PVC-free outdoor flooring solution. Like CorrectDeck’s newest decking product, CorrectDeck(R) CX with Microban(R) antimicrobial protection, it is designed to provide enhanced low-maintenance garden flooring qualities.

Definitely not a plastic rail
“We have improved the aesthetic appeal by providing the warm look and feel of painted wood without the artificial and shiny look associated with plastic railings,” said Martin Grohman, Correct Building Products president. “This is definitely not a plastic rail in appearance or quality. CorrectDeck RapidRail CX provides the heft, weight and feel of lumber, but without the maintenance of wood,” Grohman said. “This is a true hybrid decking material, combining the best of both plastic and wood.”

Antimicrobial, low maintenance outdoor garden flooring and lasting good looks
A co-extrusion process is used to engineer Microban protection into each decking rail, baluster and post. Microban’s antimicrobial properties help prevent the colonization of mold and mildew that can cause flooring stains, odors and discolouration. Microban protection will not wash off or wear away, and makes RapidRail decking easier to clean, and keeps it cleaner longer. In addition, RapidRail CX resists stains from grills or food spillage because wood fibers are coated with plastic, reducing their exposure. Protection of exposed fibers and the addition of concentrated UV inhibitors enable the outdoor flooring components to resist colour fading.

Fast outdoor flooring assembly and installation
RapidRail is designed for speed and ease of installation. A typical eight-foot section is fully assembled with only 16 screws in just 5-10 minutes. The top and bottom rails are precision routed for easy attachment of balusters – no screws are needed. Simple powder-coated brackets and screws are used for hanging top and side rails. All hardware is supplied.

The strength of polypropylene
Like all CorrectDeck products, RapidRail CX is a polypropylene wood composite decking product, which is stronger and holds its straight shape better than polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), especially in hot outdoor climates.

New stair kit system
CorrectDeck decking with Microban product protection features a new stair kit system that simplifies the installation process. The outdoor flooring system is designed to hide attachments, giving the railing a clean, screw-free appearance. Balusters have round, hollow centres and utilize a ball connector system which allows installation at any angle.

RapidRail CX decking in stone white with Microban antimicrobial protection is backed by a transferable, limited lifetime warranty. Matching accessories are available, such as colour-matched, beveled post caps and skirts.

Correct Building Products(R) LLC, headquartered in Biddeford, Maine, is the first and most experienced manufacturer of polypropylene-based composite decking products. Correct Building Products leads the outdoor flooring industry with technical innovation in areas of design, formulation and automation. The company’s CorrectDeck(R) CX decking with Microban(R) antimicrobial product protection is the first composite decking to combine antimicrobial protection that resists mold and mildew with stain- and fade-resistance.
