Why Fiberon Decking? Interview with founder Doug Mancosh
January 28th, 2012 by Michael CoombsIn this video, company founder Doug Mancosh reflects on quality, beauty, and the future of Fiberon Decking.
There’s an affirmation for that.
January 17th, 2012 by Michael CoombsHere at the Fiberon offices we have been brainstorming about what would go into an iPad application created for our products.
When I jog I use the Nike Plus GPS app on my iPhone. It tells me how far, and how fast, and where I went. This morning, at the end of my run, NBA Champion Dirk Nowitzki came on through my ear buds and said, “Good run. I’m impressed.”
It got me thinking about what affirmations might work for a Fiberon Decking app for contractors and/or homeowners.
Can you imagine…?
From a recipe app: “This is Paula Dean. That’s a nice looking ham!”
From Bob Villa: “Good job! You measured twice and cut once!”
From Fernando Lamas, as played by Billy Crystal: “Your deck looks marvelous”.
From your neighbors and cousins after you build a deck with Fiberon Decking:“We want to come over”.
Can you think of a famous person affirmation that would work in your life, or on your deck? Send them to me or comment on the blog.

Inside Fiberon: Deck Fasteners
October 12th, 2011 by Marc BrookshirePaul Young, Fiberon’s Director of Sales, provides a unique look inside Fiberon’s hardware products so consumers can stay ahead of the curve with the latest industry innovations in composite decking. Hardware products include both the innovative Fiberon hidden fasteners and the Phantom Ballistic NailScrew Driver.
Phantom Hidden Deck Fasteners
I was sitting on my deck on one of those picture perfect Minnesota mornings–clear skies and 68 degrees. I was watching one of those weekend home improvement shows and they’re building a Fiberon deck using, as the host describes it, “One of these new hidden fastening systems.” It got me thinking about both of my decks and the evolution of decking fasteners.
Our main deck was built first using galvanized trim head nails, which is nice because the nails aren’t very visible. However, the nails continually pop up and you have to drive them down so you don’t snag them while walking or shoveling snow during the winter. When the second deck was built, the builder screwed it down, eliminating the possibility of nails popping. Unfortunately, you can still see all the screws – Functional but not necessarily attractive.
