Wilmington, OH - September 17, 2007 - TimberTech®, a leading manufacturer of composite decking, railing and fencing products, continues to expand its innovative product offering of decking planks and fascia in late 2007 with the introduction of XLM™, an extreme low-maintenance alternative decking solution.
Responding to homeowner demand for low maintenance decking options and contractors' need for easier to install decking materials, the experts at TimberTech developed XLM to satisfy both. Forty percent lighter than TimberTech's wood plastic composite planks, XLM is an extremely durable expanded polymer decking material that features a proprietary blend of mineral enhancements to reinforce structural integrity. The product provides unparalleled scratch and stain resistance and is available in grooved or non-grooved planks. Grooved planks are designed to work with CONCEALoc™, TimberTech's new stainless steel hidden fastener, which provides quick and consistent gapping while keeping a fastener free surface.

CONCEALoc
XLM is offered in three rich, long-lasting colors - Mountain Cedar, River Rock and Sand Ridge - and is available in 12', 16' and 20' lengths as well as 12" fascia in 12' lengths. All are backed with an industry leading 25-year warranty.
"From busy moms to couples that do a lot of outdoor entertaining, homeowners are looking for decking choices that eliminate time-consuming and costly maintenance and can withstand the rigors of high traffic activity," said Carey Walley, director of marketing, TimberTech. "And contractors will appreciate the lightweight profile, ease of installation and rich color palettes."
With the addition of XLM, TimberTech rounds out the most complete product line in the industry. A one-stop source, TimberTech offers a vast array of decking options to complement railing, fencing, fastening and drainage systems, accessories and trim.
