LIGHT HUES

Envision Outdoor Living Products has added the Elevation Collection, comprised of two new earthy colors—Sandstone and Alpine Fog—to its budget-friendly Ridge Premium collection of capped composite decking.

Emulating cooler mountain tones, Sandstone is a light, natural brown, offering a beautiful balance of sandy and honey hues, while Alpine Fog is a blend of cool silver tones in an on-trend light gray. Both boast softly blended, variegated color and non-repeating grain.

The decking is made with Envision’s proprietary Compress Technology, which uses tremendous heat and pressure to squeeze out air pockets, physically bond the cap and EverGrain Core together, and press its signature non-repeating grain into the cap.

Ridge Premium is available in 16- and 20-ft. groovededge and 12-, 16-, and 20-ft. square-edge board profiles. The decking carries a 25-year residential warranty and a 10-year commercial warranty.
