When homes were built back before 1900, the majority of the timbers used for porch flooring were cut from old world growth. This means that the trees were grown to a ripe old age before being cut and milled. This type growth allowed the wood timbers to be much more dense than the young, quick cut timber we have available on the market today. In an effort to make more profit in less time, mills today harvest wood that is far less dense and rush it from the forest to the lumber yard. Lumber has an important part in today’s building industry. On the porch, as a floor, is just not one of them. READ MORE >>
Aeratis Classic and Traditions are engineered for both covered and uncovered applications. The transition between covered and uncovered porches have been tricky in the past. There is a difference in surface temperature and weathering on different parts of the porch throughout the day as the sun passes through the sky. Then when it rains, snows or freezes this poses a completely different challenge to the surface. All of these influences can affect the appearance of your porch. Rest assured, we have you covered. We know all the challenges that having a partially covered and uncovered porch can pose, and we’ve engineered a product that we are happy to stand behind, with our full warranty, for both covered and uncovered applications.
Aeratis Classic and Traditions are the only T&G porch flooring products on the market that you can paint and still maintain the full warranty. Once you paint Aeratis, you may never need to paint it again. Third-party testing has proven Aeratis to have the highest paint-adhesion rating available. This means that once applied to Aeratis, the paint won’t chip off, peel, split or crack, and you won’t have to paint it year in and year out. READ MORE >>
While Aeratis looks great natural, some people prefer the more traditional look of a painted front porch. That’s why we’ve engineered Aeratis to have an unbeatable 5-A paint adhesion (the highest possible rating) as rated by independent laboratories and paint manufacturers. LEARN MORE >>
The front porch is vulnerable to fire hazard, and can act as a wick to suck flames in and around your home.

Find out how the only Class “A” exterior porch flooring product can benefit you. READ MORE >>
Aeratis was engineered to resist decay. In ASTM test standard D1413 the product showed no signs of decay at the conclusion of the testing period. With Aeratis, termites won’t dampen your spirits or porch floor for that matter, because on ASTM D3345 Aeratis passed the termite test with the highest rating possible (10). Not only that, but Aeratis doesn’t provide a food source for mold.
Other PVC porch planks have deep embossing that not only make the the board look like a child’s play toy, but hold dirt and debris upon which mold will thrive. Don’t just take our word for it that Aeratis will outperform the competition… Review a 3rd party testing report by clicking here.

Imagine installing over 560 boards in less than 4 hours, all without knots or imperfections. This is an Aeratis install. None of the hassles or extra steps that are required with wood. Just install using your favorite method for flooring, remove the protective film and you’re done. READ MORE >>
