Hood Distribution/McQuesten Group Offering Deceuninck North America's Clubhouse® PVC Decking and Clubhouse Elite Railing to New England Market

AYER, Mass., June 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Hood Distribution/McQuesten Group, a distributor of specialty lumber and building products, is pleased to partner with Deceuninck North America, a leading designer and manufacturer of high-quality systems for windows, doors, and outdoor living, to offer Deceuninck's Clubhouse® PVC Decking and Clubhouse Elite Railing to its customers in the New England market.

"Over the past few years, we have worked to re-establish ourselves as a supplier of quality products that meet and exceed our customer expectations by focusing on our solid wood product lines," said Bob Lattanzi, branch manager, Ayer/Manchester at Hood Distribution.  "Re-entering the non-wood decking business was not something we did lightly.  We have spent the last two years sorting through the non-wood decking options to find a product that provides our customers with measurable performance advantages, not just a 'Me, too' product.  Deceuninck North America met every challenge that we put in front of them, and we couldn't be more excited to partner with them to bring this new technology to the market place."

"At Deceuninck, we are pleased to partner with Hood Distribution to enable more builders, contractors and home owners to specify and order Clubhouse Decking and Railing products throughout New England," added Filip Geeraert, president and CEO of Deceuninck North America. "It is an attractive, durable option that offers value for those seeking to take their outdoor living space to the next level."

Deceuninck North America's Clubhouse Decking is 100-percent PVC and contains no wood or wood fillers.  It is formulated to be up to 25-percent lighter than most wood and composites, and its dense cell structure offers superior strength and solid underfoot feel with Deceuninck's Korelite™ technology.  Korelite also helps to keep moisture out and helps reduce the opportunity for degradation from mold, mildew, freezing and thawing.  SunShield® technology helps protect Clubhouse from the harsh effects of the sun, including UV resistance and fade protection, resistance to cracking and brittleness, and surface degradation. Clubhouse Decking is also 100-percent recyclable and does not require painting or staining.  It features a limited lifetime warranty with 25-year fade and stain protection backed by Deceuninck. 

Deceuninck's Clubhouse Elite Railing System is engineered to be longer-lasting than painted wood and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty with 25-year fade and stain coverage.  It is 100-percent recyclable and the low-maintenance nature of the product means no chemical cleaning, painting or staining is necessary.  Available in white, walnut, and black, Elite Railing's low-gloss, low-maintenance finish means that the product never needs to be painted.  For extra protection, Deceuninck North America's exclusive SunShield® technology provides time-tested color retention with superior stain, mold and mildew resistance.

Last year, Clubhouse Decking and Railing achieved code compliance with the International Building Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC) for structural and product performance.
