Bring your boat dock back to life

Friday, December 4, 2009 by Chris Fox

Is your boat dock suffering from years of neglect? While you've focused on the house and yard, has your wood dock slowly slipped away, and now is in need of a facelift? That's where Latitudes from Universal Forest Products comes in.

Latitudes composite marine decking is fortified with Strandex technology and is composed of a perfect blend of wood fiber and polymers, providing protection against UV degradation and water absorption. It's also thicker than typical composite deck boards for added strength.

Latitudes Marine composite decking comes in four colors: gray, cedar, redwood and walnut, and has a dual-finish option with a brushed surface on one side and a woodgrain texture on the other. The composite decking boards are perfect for marinas, boardwalks, footbridges or wherever you need a thick, durable composite boat dock material.

Latitudes marine decking comes with a 10-year limited warranty for commercial applications and a 25-year limited warranty for residential applications. Latitudes marine composite decking is the perfect choice for your next project.

We are about to rework our dock and want to know more about your product. Will it fade? What kind of upkeep? More about the limited 25 year warranty?

Mike, Latitudes composite marine decking can be used in virtually any type of outdoor area near water, such as boardwalks and docks. Latitudes Marine composite deck boards should be installed on maximum joists spaced 24" on-center. Like all composite lumber decking there will be a shift in color (fading). Latitudes will lighten over time to a beautiful, weathered tone within the same color family. This color-tone shift is dependent upon exposure to sunlight and other environmental factors. The weathering process begins upon installation and is generally complete within 60 to 90 days. Latitudes marine decking warranty protects your investment against splintering, corroding or becoming structurally unfit due to rot, split, warp, cupping, checks or damage caused by termites or fungal decay the warranty does not cover fading).
