GRAND RAPIDS – October 13, 2026 -- Deckorators, a brand of UFP Industries (Nasdaq: UFPI), introduced Meridian and Elevate decking as the first collections launched since it acquired MoistureShield decking assets, alongside a new aluminum railing system built to cut installation labor.
Meridian and Elevate extend the decking range with two new collections
Meridian carries proprietary CoolDeck technology, which Deckorators says absorbs less heat than conventional composite decking. It launches in four colors: Hudson, Sonoma, Catalina and Newport. Its full 1-inch profile is approved for dock and waterfront applications.
Elevate targets active outdoor spaces and resists moisture, rot and insect damage. It can be installed anywhere, including ground and water applications, and launches in Basin Brown and Ridge Gray.
Deckorators Porch Flooring, made with Surestone technology, adds two colors, Cliffside and Glacier. They extend two Summit decking colors to the porch product, which comes in tongue-and-groove and solid-edge profiles.
Align railing with DropLock drops preassembled panels in without special tools
Align Aluminum Railing uses proprietary DropLock technology. Preassembled panels go into place without templates, bracket drilling or special tools, which the company says reduces labor, cleanup and installation errors. One post supports line, end and corner applications, simplifying dealer inventory.
Align has concealed fasteners and true 6-foot and 8-foot lengths. It comes in Textured Black, Textured White and Bronze, in 36-inch and 42-inch heights.
"Our 2027 lineup is designed to make outdoor spaces easier to build," said Michelle Hendricks, Deckorators director of marketing.
Essential railing and cable updates broaden the value and contemporary tiers
The new Essential Aluminum Railing collection is sold as preassembled panels or as kits with prerouted top and bottom rails. It comes in Textured Black, Textured White and Bronze.
The redesigned Contemporary Cable Rail system has fewer parts and more intuitive tension adjustment. It adds a black stainless steel cable that matches black railing components. Cable is available in 10-foot to 70-foot lengths.
Products reach dealers in January 2027 and debut at IBS in Las Vegas
The 2027 lineup will be available in January 2027 through Deckorators dealers and retailers. Products will be on display in booth C3308 at the International Builders' Show, Feb. 2-4, 2027, in Las Vegas.
Several of the new products will also appear in Build It Forward, the brand's first volunteer event with nonprofit partner Rebuilding Together Nashville. From Oct. 20-23, Deckorators Certified Pros will complete five outdoor deck projects for Nashville-area families in need.
