Customer Reviews for NewTechWood UltraShield Naturale Cortes 1 in. x 6 in. x 8 ft. Westminster Gray 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.

Beautiful color and texture; it was purchased to frame lattice to place around a porch. It has a tendency to split if not worked with correctly. It held up well to being routed and having lattice attached. The texture an added plus if a composite is needed.

The product arrived and was very beat up. I don't know if it is the product or the shipping. We were able to make it work but it was expensive and this was unacceptable

We used the planks for railings on our deck. I love the quality of the board and how great they look!

I cannot review- I have spoken to home depot (6) separate times to have this delivery executed. After a month, I still do not have the decking.

Extremely hard and durable wood. Had to predrill every screw. Great product

a little lighter in color than I thought

Beautiful color (I got the Caribbean Blue), looks great, and unlike the previous wood on our steps, it will last a long time.

Just be advised that if you are using the grooved and solid boards, they are slightly different thickness. otherwise, I really liked them. Good quality. Wish they had this color in a longer board, but I was able to do what I needed to.

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.
