Customer Reviews for NewTechWood UltraShield Naturale Cortes 1 in. x 6 in. x 8 ft. Spanish Walnut Solid Composite Decking Board

Quality composite lumber that was utilized for patio table top. Turned out beautiful!

Boards were delivered three to a package and were in excellent condition - the ends were clean and only ever-so-slightly off-square, very straight with no warpage or bowing of any sort. Cutting was easy and quick, but routing was somewhat problematic as the plastic coating had a tendency to melt rather than cut, causing the router bit to float on top instead of biting cleanly. Reducing each pass to a 1/16" cut solved the problem but slowed the process. Using deck screws to secure the planks to the structure resulted in a bit of mushrooming, despite pilot holes - will use countersink bit on the next benchtop. Also, I soaked some remnants in water overnight to check weather resistance and was pleased to see that they appear to be 100% waterproof.

This worked out great. I used the New TechWood for shelves on an outdoor plant stand. Looks great too.

Very nice composite wood for front steps.

I bought 25 Boards costing slightly under $1000.00 bucks. These were not gonna be used for a deck, but for a custom 12 ft. gate. I don't know how they could possibly hold up as a deck that people walk on. I believe that they would not hold up to scratches etc. for very long. These boards scratch very easily, and unlike regular wood, you cannot sand them ane refinish them. I would not buy this product again.

I used this composite board for a custom trolling motor bracket. It has all the right properties of being weather/water proof, workable with hand or power tools, can be drilled and tapped with precision. Can't really be glued reliably so all joints are screwed/bolted. I found actual size to be 7/8" x 5 5/8". Do like the extra thickness. Can be painted with plastic-friendly paint.

The product performed as advertised. However you need to heed the manufacturer's advice when not installing fasteners too close to the edge as it will shear off. I was able to "toenail" some screws where I needed them by pre-drilling the holes first. You don't have to pre-drill the holes for standard installation, however when using "non-mushrooming" screws it makes the installation a lot easier, once I realized this i pre-drilled every hole. I chose the Charcoal because it matches the hot tub, on the face of the risers I will be installing stacked stone that matches the adjacent pool. The photos are not the final product but does depict the decking. I tried to pocket screw the butt joints from underneath but that failed the material is too hard.

I worked with these boards over weekend and really loved them. I would order these again. The cutting was clean and easy on the miter saw, with dust that was a little thicker than sawdust. Running the shop vac with the miter saw simultaneously made clean up a bit easier. This was way easier to clean up than the PVC boards I cut. They were a mess. These boards feel equal in quality to that of an Azek or a Trex. These feel far nicer than the Verdana bottom level boards at HD.

Quality product. Definitely would recommend.

The texture and overall appearance is very good

Never knew composite could be ordered in colors other than brown. I made a colorful and stylish family outdoor eating table.

The small quantity of five replacement Composite boards arrived in excellent condition. They were packaged very well and protected with a heavy cardboard overwrap. This order of 5 replacement boards were packaged in bundles of 2 * footer per package and shipped via UPS.. Excellent service all the way around. Thank you Home Depot (Michael online Cust. Serv. Rep.) Very nicely done ! My expectations have been exceeded.

Pleased with the product. Just what we were looking For,

Beautiful and realistic composite product. Heavy, like all composites, but overall an excellent product with exceptional grain.

Easy to use...wood like appearance and looks very durable...warranty is excellent

As far as plastic decking new tech wood is average quality. For the almost double in price color difference than in stock, my wife made me buy it! Not worth the money

Exactly as described, but a little heavy

Great color and product.

This was the perfect board for a kitchen window sill. The color match was perfect and will be waterproof . I'm so pleased with the appearance and high quality.
