News Brief
Advisory Issued for Louisiana Pacific Composite Decking
Composite board decking and railing made by Louisiana-Pacific at the company’s Meridian, Idaho, plant between January 2005 and November 2007 may show premature deterioration and breakage, according to the company. Owners of the materials, sold under the Veranda,
WeatherBest, and ABTCo brands, should inspect their decks’ condition, stay off them if deterioration is evident, and register with Louisiana-Pacific, which will arrange a third-party inspection and, if necessary, replacement. According to the company, only a small percentage of the production run is defective.
Another company, Fiber Composites, bought the WeatherBest product line in 2007 and says it reformulated the material at that time; decking manufactured under Fiber Composites’ ownership is not part of the product advisory.Customers should contact Louisiana-Pacific at www.deckingnotice.com or 888-325-1184.
