"Homeowners now have an ideal alternative to high-priced, high-maintenance wood decking. Deck Lok's innovative, component-based vinyl deck system surpasses the durability, affordability, and aesthetic integrity of wood," said Michele Bickel, Marketing Director of Royal Outdoor Products. "Homeowners can quickly and easily add architecturally stunning, functional extensions to their homes with Deck Lok, expanding living spaces comfortably into the outdoors while pleasing both eye and pocketbook. Deck Lok lets consumers create and enjoy extraordinary, open spaces that endure time, resist the elements, and enrich home life."

Deck Lok has the allure and timelessness of wood decking without the maintenance and replacement hassles of real wood, such as staining, painting, and sealing. Made from 100% vinyl, Deck Lok materials will not discolor, weather, split, or splinter like real wood. The system's non-toxic vinyl components will not chip, flake, or rust either, so outdoor living spaces are child-safe and virtually flawless for a lifetime.

"Wooden decks are very popular yet often weather, discolor, and warp before their time. As a result, not only can they detract from the appearance and value of the home, homeowners likely spend less time using their decks because they don't want to be reminded of the wood repair, re-staining, and maintenance tasks required to restore them. Deck Lok changes all that," said Bickel.

All Deck Lok plank components are crafted using a special tri-color extrusion process to create realistic, variegated textures mirroring the natural colors and look of real wood. The system is available in two new colors, complete with realistic wood-grain look: Sandalwood and Driftwood. The planks also feature non-slip, embossed surfaces for ultimate personal comfort and safety.

Deck Lok by Royal Outdoor Products features a patented snap-connect system that facilitates fast installation and is the vinyl decking system that earns ICC-ES compliance (Report #ESR-1051) in strength, durability, and quality tests, satisfying IBC, IRC and UBC requirements.

The complete Deck Lok package of matching products includes railing systems, columns, and full trim, which can be custom-configured to suit modern, geometric, or traditional tastes. For robust construction, hidden rail-lock connectors secure rails to columns, and heavy-duty mounting hardware anchors columns to Deck Lok decks, concrete, or wood surfaces.

Royal Outdoor Products offers superior craftsmanship, durability, and performance and ensure customer satisfaction with a Limited Lifetime Transferable Warranty against abnormal weathering and discoloration. All components are UV-protected. For more information about Royal Outdoor Products and the Deck Lok line, please call 1-800-488-5245 or visit www.royalcrownltd.com.
