Deckorators, a leading outdoor living brand and division of UFP Industries, Inc., announced it has acquired the remaining operating assets of MoistureShield, a well-established brand in the decking and outdoor living market.
The transaction marks a strategic move to expand Deckorators’ wood plastic composite manufacturing capabilities, enhance its product portfolio, and accelerate innovation as demand for outdoor living solutions continues to grow.
The acquisition includes a manufacturing facility in Arkansas, which adds expertise in traditional composite decking and complements Deckorators’ existing Surestone technology. The combined capabilities are expected to strengthen the company’s ability to deliver broader product offerings and increased value to contractors, distributors, dealers, and homeowners.
Deckorators plans to leverage the additional capacity to scale production and support long-term growth. The company expects the investment, along with future capital expenditures at the site, to double its overall wood plastic composite capacity to approximately $200 million by 2027.
The deal also includes proprietary CoolDeck composite decking technology, previously operated by Oldcastle APG, which is designed to reduce heat absorption compared to standard composite materials.
With continued growth in the outdoor living category, driven by homeowners investing in functional and aesthetic outdoor spaces, Deckorators aims to expand its reach and accelerate product development across its decking portfolio.
KEY QUOTES:
“The addition of MoistureShield strengthens our ability to innovate and serve our customers. By combining our technologies, product development capabilities, and market reach, we will accelerate growth and continue delivering high-performance outdoor solutions.”

“This acquisition allows us to support customers more effectively today while creating the runway we need to expand our product mix and grow the Deckorators brand over the long term.
