GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Jan. 15, 2009 - Universal Forest Products (Nasdaq: UFPI), makers of Latitudes® Composite Decking and Railing, announces the addition of Latitudes Capricorn to its composite decking lineup. The new tropical decking will be featured in the company's booth during the International Builders' Show, beginning Jan. 20 in Las Vegas, NV.
Latitudes Capricorn features two unique tropical colors, adobe and koa. These richly colored boards resemble the exotic hardwoods mahogany and ipe. With a natural-looking woodgrain pattern on both sides, Capricorn bridges versatility and aesthetics in one unique style. Capricorn tropical decking is fortified with the same proven Strandex® technology used in all Latitudes composite products, and it's co-extruded for ultralow maintenance.
"With the addition of the new Capricorn tropical colors, Latitudes has one of the most diverse, attractive and user-friendly lineups of composite decking in the industry," says John Hess, director of sales for UFP's consumer products division.
Resistant to fading and moisture, and virtually impervious to stains, Latitudes Capricorn is barefoot-friendly and proven not to splinter, split or rot, providing long-lasting beauty and comfort with no sealing, painting or staining required.
