TimberTech Azek, a type of premium capped polymer decking, has added a wide width and a narrow width deck boards to its Vintage Collection, giving homeowners many options when it comes to deck design. “We are excited to be among the first to bring the design versatility of indoor flooring trends to the outdoors,” said Jesse Singh, CEO of the Azek Co. in a press release. The narrow deck board in the Vintage Collection is 3 1/2 inches wide, while the wide deck board is 7 1/2. The standard, which is 5 1/2 inches wide, also is available.
