The Only Real Warranty in Decking

Green Shield composite is built to stand the test of time, offering durability, low maintenance, and aesthetic appeal. Our boards are truly wood-free, engineered from one of the best, most naturally-impermeable ingredients in nature: rice hulls – known for their eco-friendliness and resilience.

Fully-Capped and Fully Protected

Capping is an industry term used to describe how a board has (or has not) been sealed against moisture. To save on costs, many manufacturers cap just the top of their composite boards, leaving the underside grooves exposed to moisture absorption and decay. 

Green Shield deck boards are 100% capped with an EPL resin layer coating the entire surface area. This coating provides UV protection to resist fade, anti-slip properties, and scratch protection, and makes them completely reversible.

Choose the Look You Love

Green Shield’s core line of composite decking boards come in a range of stunning colors:

Amazon Gray

Amazon Gray delivers a perfect, sophisticated look. Its blue undertone pairs nicely with both light and dark colored homes, as well as our Gray KDAT deck framing and Gray Aluminum Deck Railing materials. Get the perfect “millennial gray aesthetic” by pairing Green Shield’s Amazon Gray composite deck boards with an Ash Gray picture frame board.

Ash Gray

Ash Gray composite boards offer a sophisticated, dark modern look. Darker than Amazon Gray, Ash Gray composite deck boards are considered a “true gray” and pair elegantly with Green Shield’s Gray KDAT deck framing materials. If you are looking to bring Ash Gray into a two tone look you can’t go wrong with our Amazon Gray or Tuxedo Black colors.

Tuxedo
Black

Tuxedo Black brings sharp sophistication to any deck project. It was designed by Green Shield to match our black Aluminum deck railing and offer a seamless transition to other features of your home. Most deck builders won’t sell black deck boards, because they can get hot in the sun, but Green Shield integrates our heat-blocking technology into every board. Please be aware that darker colors do heat up more than lighter ones, but Green Shield’s black stays considerably cooler than our competitors. Tuxedo Black is a non-variegated color and most often used as a picture frame and feature board option at Green Shield; but is also available for staircases, as fascia, beam wrap, and post wrap.

Brazilian Cherry

Brazilian Cherry’s dark wood color and red undertone make it perfect for shaded decks and wooded escapes, where it recedes naturally into the environment. Its classic, rich, hard wood aesthetic is perfect for lake houses, rental properties, second homes and shaded environments.

Hazelwood

Hazelwood’s mix of gray, tan, and brown provides a versatility that’s ideal for achieving a windswept, beachy aesthetic or subtle gray look. It is one of our most popular deck board colors because it easily creates the perfect transition between your home and your poolside, dune stairs, backyard, or lake front. It pairs beautifully with both Amazon Gray and Ash Gray.

Tigerwood

Tigerwood is one of Green Shield’s most popular colors because it will never go out of style. Its timeless, light brown color delivers the popular stained-wood deck look without the work. Tigerwood is variegated to break up visual patterns, hide dirt, and bring a natural appearance, and is commonly paired with Tropical Walnut for a lasting natural aesthetic.

Tropical Walnut

Tropical Walnut’s rich dark brown color is great for creating a natural wood aesthetic or providing contrast to other colors, making it one of our most popular options. Its slight variegation gives it an organic appearance and makes it an ideal contrast in a two-tone look. Tropical Walnut pairs beautifully with Tigerwood for a brighter look or Brazilian Cherry for a richer one.
