Product Summary
Construction and Materials
MoistureShield offers a range of composite railing systems designed for durability and aesthetic appeal. These railings are engineered to provide a robust and low-maintenance alternative to traditional wood railings.
Construction
MoistureShield composite railings are constructed using a co-extrusion process. This manufacturing method involves bonding a hard, protective outer shell to a core of composite material. The result is a product with enhanced resistance to staining, scratching, fading, and moisture absorption.
- The co-extrusion process ensures a consistent and uniform material composition throughout the railing.
- The outer shell provides the primary defense against environmental factors and daily wear and tear.
- The composite core offers structural integrity and contributes to the product's overall stability.
Materials
The primary materials used in MoistureShield composite railings include:
- Wood Fibers: These are typically sourced from post-consumer recycled wood, contributing to the sustainability of the product.
- Polymers: High-performance polymers are utilized to bind the wood fibers and create a durable matrix. These polymers are selected for their resistance to moisture, UV radiation, and impact.
- Additives: Various additives are incorporated to enhance specific properties, such as UV inhibitors to prevent fading and colorants to achieve desired aesthetics.
The specific composition of the composite material, including the type and ratio of wood fibers to polymers, is proprietary to MoistureShield. However, the focus is on creating a material that performs reliably in outdoor environments and requires minimal upkeep.
Features and Benefits
MoistureShield composite railings offer a durable and low-maintenance solution for enhancing the beauty and functionality of your outdoor spaces. Designed to withstand the elements, these railings provide a premium finish that complements various architectural styles.
Key Features and Benefits:

Core Advantages of MoistureShield Composite Railings:
- Superior Resistance to Moisture and Decay: Unlike traditional wood, MoistureShield composite materials are inherently resistant to moisture absorption, preventing the common problems of rot, insect damage, and fungal growth. This makes them ideal for coastal environments or areas with high humidity.
- Unmatched Durability and Stability: The advanced composite construction ensures that your railings will not warp, crack, or splinter over time. This consistent stability means your railing system will remain structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing for years to come, requiring no compromise on safety or appearance.
- Effortless Ownership and Reduced Costs: The minimal maintenance required significantly reduces the total cost of ownership compared to wood alternatives. Eliminating the need for regular staining, sealing, or repairs saves both time and money, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor space without the constant burden of upkeep.
