Environmental Responsibility in Outdoor Living
GAINESVILLE, GA, May 26 2009 – Wahoo Decks, the leading manufacturer of aluminum decking accessories, has recently developed recyclable, sustainable options for deck boards, deck joists and deck railing allowing builders, contractors and homeowners to extend the sustainability of their homes to their outdoor living areas.
The products: AridDek aluminum decking, DryJoist Aluminum Deck joists and Wahoo Rail aluminum railing are all manufactured using 45% recycled content from industrial and post-consumer aluminum scrap.
“Aluminum is fully recyclable and it will last longer than pressure-treated lumber typically used in deck construction” said Jon Bailey, Vice President of Wahoo Decks. “The benefits of aluminum go beyond it being recyclable. Aluminum is naturally resistant to rot, decay, warping, insects and fire, meaning no harmful chemicals need to be added to the material to keep the increase the structural integrity and boost the longevity of the product.”
The premise of Wahoo Decks is to provide outdoor deck products that are ideally designed to maintain their structural integrity and appearance and are targeted to both the refurbishment of existing outdoor structures and new builds. The most popular product lines, AridDek and DryJoist are products to create a dry area below an outdoor deck, making the area suitable for even an enclosed living area. Each of the products have unique benefits but both share a common feature that have fueled their popularity – they are both simple, one-step processes that can be quickly installed by a contractor or homeowner with standard tools and are 100% effective.
