TimberTech; DockSider Plank DebutsDockSider enters select markets in early July 2006

Wilmington, OH--TimberTech® continues to revolutionize wood composite applications with the introduction of the DockSider Plank, ideal for dock, marina and boardwalk structures. Made from a patented formula of high quality wood flours and pure plastic resins, the DockSider Plank is an innovative alternative to traditional wood docks and features a skid-free, splinter-free surface without routine maintenance such as painting, staining or sealing. Unlike traditional wood docks, DockSider resists fading, weathering, rotting and warping to keep it looking brand new, year after year.

TimberTech DockSider Planking

DockSider planks span 24" on-center for residential and commercial applications and are engineered for maximum strength for weight efficiency. The DockSider's 1 /4" x 5 1/2" profile withstands exposure to moisture and heavy traffic common elements in waterfront applications. DockSider also contains UV inhibitors for little to no future color fading, while the square edge profile adds the detail of defined lines and accents.

"Providing a low maintenance composite plank for marine applications is a natural extension of our product offering," said Carey Walley, TimberTech Marketing Manager. "Coastal contractors now have a durable, splinter-free alternative to traditional wood for these unique applications that requires a 24" span on-center."

TimberTech DockSider enters select markets in early July 2006, with color choices of Cedar and Grey. DockSider is offered in 12', 16' and 20' lengths, with 48 planks per unit. The wood grain embossed surface of DockSider captures the look of natural wood while reducing slippery conditions when wet.
