| Please allow me to provide a little more information concerning TenduraPlank. TenduraPlank is comprised of 40% top grade polypropolyne plastic (plastic bags, etc. are not used in the manufacturing of the product) and 60% wood fiber. The wood fiber is a sawdust and wood flour composition. Wood chips and chunks are not used in the process. This allows the wood fiber to be encapsulated in the plastic. TenduraPlank has a slip resistance surface and comes in two different formats. TenduraPlank Classic, which can be painted and TenduraPlank Weathered Gray, which cannot be painted. Tendura Classic should be painted within 90 days of installation using two coats of Latex or Oil Base porch paint. The gray product is designed to resemble a weathered wood porch. It will not be a solid color as you would find on a painted porch but will have a blended color variation across the porch instead. Please visit our website for more information. Tony Galloway

| Thanks, Tony. I've been scouring any forums I can find for Tendura info. One concern that pops up again and again is heat and warping. My porch is covered, but does face south. Because this is an old house with odd-ball framing, the porch joists are also the basement's ceiling joists (some of them) - no underlayment beneath the current T&G porch boards. Would my basement would serve as enough of a heat sink to keep the Tendura cool? |
