MoistureShield expanded its distribution partnership with BlueLinx in Texas. The terms of the latest agreement call for BlueLinx branches in Dallas and Houston to offer a full line of MoistureShield composite decking products. BlueLinx will add MoistureShield products to its San Antonio location in early 2023.
“Ideal for Texas weather, MoistureShield is engineered to deliver complete and lasting protection year-round,” Matthew Bruce, vice president of sales for MoistureShield, said in a news release. “We are excited to work in tandem with BlueLinx to continue growing our business in this flourishing region as we continue to see strong demand for decking.”
MoistureShield collections include Vision, Meridian, Elevate, and Vantage. The company also offers special innovations such as protective cap and natural surface technologies. All MoistureShield products feature the Solid Core Difference for advanced strength and moisture resistance, and can be installed directly on the ground, in the ground, or underwater. The Vision and Meridian product lines feature the option of CoolDeck Technology, which minimizes heat absorption by up to 35% compared to traditional capped composite decking in similar colors, according to the manufacturer.
MoistureShield is a division of Oldcastle APG, a CRH company, and its composite decking and railing products are manufactured from 95% recycled content. The manufacturer first entered a distribution agreement with BlueLinx in August 2019. At the time, BlueLinx agreed to distribute MoistureShield products from its Atlanta and Chicago distribution centers.
“We are thrilled about this new relationship that aligns with our dedication to expanding in the outdoor living market,” Mike Wilson, senior vice president of BlueLinx, said. “MoistureShield’s unique solitons are well suited to the Texas climate, with its high heat, direct sun, and storm surges that require durable, technology-driven composite deck products.”
Marietta, Ga.-based BlueLinx has a distribution footprint serving 50 states and distributes its range of structural and specialty products to approximately 15,000 customers across the United States.
