MoistureShield's Elevate, a 2021Green Innovation Award winner, has four curated colors in classic and variegated shades. Riverbank (shown) and Alpine Gray have texture and depth similar to rich, tropical hardwoods. The classic solid colors include Canoe, a forest brown, and Lake Fog, a soft gray shade. These options allow contractors to create stylish, durable decks simply and affordably for homeowners seeking to improve their outdoor spaces.

"Winning the 'Green Innovation Award' for sustainability underscores MoistureShield's commitment to providing quality products with high levels of recycled content," said Matthew Bruce, VP of Sales, MoistureShield, a division of Oldcastle APG. "Since the initial launch of Elevate in November 2019, we've received tremendous feedback on its aesthetics and value from both contractors and homeowners."

Like all MoistureShield decking products, Elevate features the proprietary Solid Core manufacturing process for protection against moisture absorption, warping, rotting, and insect damage, whether installed on the ground, in the ground, or even underwater.
