Solid deck board
Explorer Series composite decking covers two profiles under one design language — one with grooved edges for hidden-fastener installs, one with squared edges for traditional screw-down work, both reversible to give you Cathedral Wood Grain on one face and a quieter Rustic finish on the other. Built on the UltraShield® Naturale™ capped composite platform, Explorer is what architects specify when a single decking project has to shift register between rooms or zones — the formal front entry pairs with the casual lake-house back porch using the same dual-finish deck boards. Each profile is fully 360° wrapped, dimensionally stable through seasonal expansion and contraction, and color-stable through years of direct UV. The result is composite outdoor decking that holds up to commercial loads, residential foot traffic, pool surrounds, and rooftop terraces with the kind of weather-resistant, low-maintenance performance that real-wood decking can never match.

The UltraShield® Difference
Every NewTechWood board pairs a dense polyethylene-and-wood-fiber core with a 360° polymer cap, tested against stains, scratches, fade, and boiling water. The result: composite that looks like wood, behaves like a fortress, and stays beautiful for decades.
