Align Aluminum Railing featuring DropLock Technology joins Meridian and Elevate, the first decking collections introduced following the MoistureShield asset acquisition
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Deckorators®, the fastest-growing composite decking brand and part of UFP Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: UFPI), today announced its 2027 product lineup, highlighted by Align Aluminum Railing featuring DropLock™ technology and the introduction of Meridian and Elevate decking. Meridian and Elevate are the first Deckorators decking collections introduced following the acquisition of MoistureShield decking assets, expanding the brand's outdoor living portfolio with new performance, comfort and design options. Meridian also brings proprietary CoolDeck® technology to the Deckorators product offering.
The 2027 lineup also includes two new colors for Deckorators Porch Flooring made with Surestone® technology, a new Essential Aluminum Railing collection and updates to the Contemporary Cable Rail system.
"Our 2027 lineup is designed to make outdoor spaces easier to build, more comfortable to enjoy and more personal to the homeowner," said Michelle Hendricks, Deckorators director of marketing. "From Meridian decking with CoolDeck technology to Align railing with its simplified installation system, these products deliver meaningful innovations for homeowners, contractors and our dealer partners."
Decking
- Meridian decking with CoolDeck technology: Designed to absorb less heat than conventional composite decking, Meridian combines enhanced surface comfort with rich color variation and an authentic wood-grain finish. The collection launches in four colors: Hudson, Sonoma, Catalina and Newport. Its full 1-inch profile is approved for dock and waterfront applications.
- Elevate decking: This new line is built for active outdoor spaces and resists moisture, rot and insect damage with minimal upkeep. It installs anywhere, including ground and water applications, and launches in Basin Brown and Ridge Gray.
- New Porch Flooring colors: Cliffside and Glacier extend two popular Summit decking colors to Deckorators Porch Flooring, giving homeowners a coordinated look from porch to deck. Made with Surestone technology, Porch Flooring is available in tongue-and-groove and solid-edge profiles with virtually no thermal movement.
Railing
- Align Aluminum Railing featuring proprietary DropLock technology: Preassembled panels drop into place without templates, bracket drilling or special tools, helping reduce labor, cleanup and installation errors. One versatile post supports line, end and corner applications, simplifying inventory for dealers. Align features concealed fasteners and true 6-foot and 8-foot lengths and is available in Textured Black, Textured White and Bronze in 36-inch and 42-inch heights.
- Essential Aluminum Railing: A streamlined aluminum railing option that combines approachable value with flexible installation. Essential is available as preassembled panels or kits with prerouted top and bottom rails and comes in Textured Black, Textured White and Bronze.
- Updated Cable and Hardware System for Contemporary Cable Rail: The redesigned system has fewer parts and more intuitive tension adjustment, and it adds a black stainless steel cable that matches black railing components. Cable is available in 10-foot to 70-foot lengths.
The Deckorators 2027 product lineup will be available in January 2027 through Deckorators dealers and retailers, with products on display in booth C3308 at the International Builders' Show, Feb. 2-4, 2027, in Las Vegas. Learn more at www.deckorators.com/pages/new-products/new-for-2027.
Additionally, several of the new products will be showcased later this month through Build It Forward, the brand's inaugural volunteer event with nonprofit partner Rebuilding Together Nashville. From Oct. 20-23, Deckorators Certified Pros from across the country will complete five outdoor deck projects for Nashville-area families in need, demonstrating the real-world performance and versatility of Deckorators products.
