    Gina Ishee - Argentine

    Argentine replaced 28 decks with Trex flooring in 2020 (and 14 upper membranes).  We considered Timber Tech but after comparing the benefits and cost did not find any significant added value in going with the higher priced Timber Tech. I have not heard of MoistureShield.  Trex has held up very well over the past three years.

    I suggest you also look at TimberTech.  We have a large deck at home number 1 with TimberTech.  It is beautiful and it was price competitive with Trex.  Our deck at Sts. John is also TimberTech and we like it a lot.  Looks good and easy to clean.

     Take a look.  https://www.timbertech.com.

    I had not heard of Moisture Shield until this notice came out.  A couple of years ago we had two of our decks at Frey Gulch rebuilt using Trex.  At the time I was only aware of Trex and Azek.  for the climate we have in Summit County and Keystone, Trex was a better fit.  Looking at Moisture Shield, one of it's big selling features is it's moisture barrier ability (ie good for docks and high water areas).  There is also the discussion of heat.  Composite decks have a history of getting hot in the warmer climates.  The color of the deck, ie darker colors will get hotter than lighter colors.  Moisture Shield markets a cool deck, but I believe that is only for one of the lines and not across the board.  If cost is an issue, a comparative price will need to be conducted.  In addition to price availability should be addressed.  Again I had not heard of Moisture Shield, but before we went with Trex I did note that a number of places were using it; Kenosha Steakhouse outside deck, bridge decking along the bike path around Lake Dillon and decking material for multimillion dollar new homes being built in the area.  I don't think anyone would go wrong with either decision.

    Northstar at Keystone replaced wood decks with Timber Tech legacy in 2019. Rated similar to Trex but less expensive. Pleased with result. We did not evaluate the brand you mentioned.

    At the Sanctuary, we are replacing all of our wood decks with a composite material.  Right now we are looking at the brand MoistureShield - Vantage, which is rated only 1 point lower than Trex.  Getting Trex would be a long wait and significantly more expensive.  I'm just curious whether anyone else has MoistureShield composite decking.  Thanks.
