Decks going green
Deck builders are rolling sustainable options into 2026 — new decking colors, privacy screens and advanced framing systems are being marketed to boost durability and eco-friendliness, per a season launch from Decksforlife/Ace Deck Builders Decksforlife launch.
Decksforlife is listing Trex Enhance colors Pebble Beach and Golden Hour — additions Trex officially announced on Jan. 20, 2026. (trexcompanyinc.gcs-web.com) Both Trex shades carry the company’s SunComfortable™ heat‑mitigating feature, which Trex says can keep deck surfaces up to about 35°F cooler in sun‑exposed conditions. (trex.com) The company also flagged TimberTech’s Harvest+ Collection — offered in Toasted Wheat and Timber Gray — a line TimberTech says won a Good Housekeeping 2026 Home Reno Award for realistic look and sustainable manufacturing. (jameshardie.com) For privacy, Decksforlife will install TimberTech’s Impression Privacy Screen, a modular system TimberTech describes as spanning up to 6 feet and carrying the same 25‑year railing warranty as its railing line. (timbertech.com) On substructure, Decksforlife is offering OC™ Structural Lumber from Owens Corning — a rot‑proof, fiberglass‑reinforced composite lumber with a limited lifetime residential warranty — and Outdure’s QwickBuild aluminum framing, which Outdure promotes as a moisture‑proof, low‑height to elevated modular framing system. (deckmasters.ca) Decksforlife’s announcement notes the company is a five‑time HomeStars Best of the Best winner and continues to market free 3D modeling alongside a two‑year labor warranty for installed projects.
