Will TimberTech® Decking and Railing colors fade?
Yes. Most materials exposed to UV and weathering will fade. TimberTech® decking and railing solutions are blended with high-quality raw material and UV-inhibiting pigments to produce products consistent in color. Because of the quality of material used, most TimberTech® decking and railing products fade less than other composites available. What effect does heat have on TimberTech® products? The effect that heat has on TimberTech® products is similar to the effect it has on a wood deck. All TimberTech® colors were developed with reflective, inorganic pigments which are more expensive than organic pigments, but dramatically reduce heat build-up. Some competitors use organic pigment due to the cost of the reflective, inorganic pigments. TimberTech®’s R&D engineers have been developing pigment systems for vinyl siding for over 50 years, providing the expertise for TimberTech to have one of the coolest composites available.
