Many homeowners considering adding a deck to their house are aware that they have several choices; primarily wood or composite decking boards. What they may not know is that there are different types of composite decking to choose from as well. GAF, manufacturer of the DuraLife™ Collection of decking and railing products, recently participated in a segment of The Balancing Act on Lifetime. The segment helps to clarify the nuances of composite decking, detailing the features that homeowners should look for when considering a deck.
The Balancing Act focuses on content for women that is both entertaining and educational, covering the latest innovations in health, family, finances, travel, pets, cuisine, beauty and fashion, and the environment. The program featuring GAF will be airing on the Lifetime network on April 22 at 7:00am. The segment will also be posted on GAF’s website at www.gaf.com and on its corporate YouTube channel.
“The Balancing Act has the perfect audience for this topic, as many times the decision-maker for a new deck is a woman,” said Emily Cavanagh, Director of Market and Product Development at GAF. “We were thrilled to have the opportunity to be part of a show that is dedicated to creating trusted solutions for women.”
Featured in the segment was GAF’s DuraLife™ Collection, which combines beauty, durability, and safety in one hassle-free system. Designed to make outdoor living carefree and easy, the special, low-maintenance composite formulations offer a way to avoid the hassles of traditional wood decks. The decking boards won’t splinter, crack, or be damaged by termites, and they require no annual sanding or staining. Included in the collection are: the ultra-low maintenance DuraLife™ Siesta™ Collection; low maintenance DuraLife™ Natural Grain Collection; DuraLife™ RailWays® Universal Railing Collection; DuraLife™ Dock Collection; and DuraLife™ Porch Collection.
