Each month, hundreds of products hit the market. Here’s our pick of the ones to watch.

Envision Ridge Premium collection

Featuring a new fluted profile with the same EverGrain Core as its other composite decking collections, and a high-density cap, Envision has introduced a new collection, Ridge Premium. Ridge Premium is available in three colors: Black Walnut, Vintage Oak, and Gunstock. Crafted using Envision’s proprietary Compress Technology, the cap and core are bonded together with heat and pressure to squeeze out air pockets and create a deep grain. Ridge Premium is available in 12′ and 16′ lengths with a square edge profile featuring a wider edge on the bottom than other fluted boards. Deck boards are installed with 16″ joist spans and 8″ stair stringer spans. Coordinating skirting and riser available, as well as color matched screws. Backed by a 25-year residential and 10-year commercial warranty. envisiondecking.com

DuPont Tyvek Roof Protector

DuPont’s new Roof Protector under the Tyvek brand is designed to provide a cooler surface for builders and roofing contractors. In addition to a color change, the new product is engineered for safe working conditions with a wrinkle-free and slip-resistant surface to allow for better traction. The Tyvek Roof Protector is said to hold chalk lines with increased visibility, and is designed to protect roof decks from wind and water. According to the manufacturer, the product is much less prone to wind pull-up and tearing at fastener points during installation, and is designed to lay flat. The engineered synthetic roofing underlayment is said to have a high strength-to-weight ratio and is UV resistant for up to three months. The product is covered by a 20-year limited replacement warranty. dupont.com

EastCoast Gold stock boards

The new EastCoast Gold boards from EastCoast Mouldings are said to be dried slow, sawn straight, and milled smooth, featuring a V-Groove on one side and an edge and center bead on the other. At 9/16″ thick, the low-profile design was developed to allow builders to complete multiple looks with one board. EastCoast Gold boards are made from clear yellow
pine with a natural finish. The 1×6 boards are available in 8′, 10′, 12′, 14′ and 16′ lengths. Each bundle of EastCoast Gold is shrink-wrapped for jobsite protection. eastcoastmouldings.com
