Kebony Clear Collection
Kebony Decking
Performance-tested modified wood decking that combines the natural beauty of real wood with enhanced durability, stability, and low-maintenance performance.
Kebony Clear Decking is engineered to resist rot, decay, and warping while providing a smooth, barefoot-friendly surface. When left unfinished, the rich brown boards naturally weather into an even silver-gray patina without affecting their durability or performance.

Performance-Tested Durability
Modified for improved resistance to rot, decay, fungi, insects, and other wood-destroying microorganisms while maintaining the natural appearance of real wood.

The original deep brown color gradually develops into an attractive silver-gray patina when exposed to sunlight and weather conditions.
Code-Compliant Material
Kebony Clear Decking is ICC-ESR code compliant and WUI listed, supporting use in a range of residential and commercial exterior applications.

Technical Documents
Kebony Clear Decking does not require finishing to maintain its warranty. Applying a compatible exterior wood finish is optional and may be considered when the goal is to preserve the original brown appearance rather than allowing the boards to develop a silver-gray patina.
Kebony is a natural wood product. Color variation, surface checking, minor cracks, grain variation, and gradual weathering should be expected. Confirm the selected profile, board orientation, joist spacing, ventilation, ground clearance, fastening system, and installation requirements before ordering.
