How to use

Three steps. Permit-ready output.

  1. 01

    Pick a PVC line

    Vintage Collection (flagship, deepest darks, 50-yr structural), Harvest Collection (monotone modern), Landmark Collection (hardwood-grain look), Advanced PVC (2026 flagship with PaverGenius scratch tech + universal CoolColor). All carry the same 50-yr structural / 30-yr fade & stain warranty.

  2. 02

    Choose a color

    Up to 6 colors per line. PVC runs noticeably cooler than capped composite at the same tone — CoolColor variants of dark Vintage colors stay 20-30°F cooler than dark composite. Heat rating icons show the surface-temp expectation in full sun.

  3. 03

    Enter dimensions

    Length × width in feet. Pattern matters: parallel (7% waste, 1.0× labor), picture-frame (12%, 1.18×), diagonal 45° (15%, 1.12×). The calculator quantizes board count using AZEK's stocked lengths (12, 16, 20 ft).

  4. 04

    Pick fastener system

    CONCEALoc hidden clip system is the default — 90 clips/box, $85/box, ~50 sqft coverage at 16″ joist on-center. Cortex (color-matched plug system, 50/pack, $38/pack) is the face-screw alternative when you want exposed-but-color-matched screws.

  5. 05

    Add accessories

    AZEK Drink Rail (top-mount decking face on railing — premium upgrade, $45/lf installed) and AZEK Lighting (post-cap LEDs + riser lights + 100W low-voltage transformer + wiring) are toggles that add to the BoM and the all-in.

    Read your AZEK BoM

Material guide

Wood, composite, or PVC?

Three honest paths. Composite wins the 25-year math for most homeowners, wood wins on upfront cost, and PVC is unbeatable around water. Each card below answers in one glance — recalculate the bill of materials by clicking a brand in the picker above.

Pressure-treated wood

Best for · DIY budget builds
Upfront
$1.85 – $4.10/lf
Lifespan
10 – 15 years
Pros
  • Lowest upfront cost ($15–25/sq ft installed)
  • Universally available — Home Depot, Lowe's, lumberyards
  • Workable with standard fasteners and tools
Cons
  • Annual stain/seal needed (~$0.45/sq ft/yr)
  • Splinters, splits, and warps over time
  • Higher 25-year ownership cost than composite

Composite

Best for · Most homeowners
Upfront
$3.20 – $6.40/lf
Lifespan
25 – 30 years (warranty)
Pros
  • Wash-only maintenance ($0.05/sq ft/yr)
  • Capped polymer surface resists stains, mold, fade
  • Lowest 25-year total cost for most builds
Cons
  • Higher upfront ($28–40/sq ft installed)
  • Hidden-fastener systems take 25% longer to install
  • Can run warm in direct sun (lighter colors mitigate)

PVC (capped polymer)

Best for · Pool & coastal decks
Upfront
$4.65 – $7.20/lf
Lifespan
30+ years (lifetime warranty)
Pros
  • Zero rot, zero mold — fully synthetic core
  • Coolest underfoot of the synthetics (mineral-core lines)
  • Best moisture and salt-spray performance
Cons
  • Highest upfront cost
  • Can move slightly more with temperature swings
  • Color palette narrower than composite

How we calculate

The math, fully transparent.

The AZEK Deck Calculator is the PVC-only estimator for the homeowner who has chosen AZEK Building Products' premium decking line. AZEK is 100% PVC — the longest structural warranty in residential decking (50 years), CoolColor heat-reduction in dark tones, and immunity to moisture absorption. This calc covers all 4 PVC lines: Vintage Collection (flagship), Harvest Collection (monotone modern), Landmark Collection (hardwood-grain), and the 2026 Advanced PVC flagship with PaverGenius scratch tech. You'll get a true bill of materials with CONCEALoc clip-box count, optional AZEK Drink Rail under-mount, optional AZEK Lighting, and a side-by-side comparison across all 4 lines. Pricing reflects 2026-Q1 retail from Lowe's Pro + AZEK Pro dealer channel.

IRC references

  • IRC 2021 R507 — Decks (full)
  • IRC 2021 R312 — Guards (railing required when deck > 30″ above grade)
  • IRC 2021 R311.7 — Stairways (rise/run/handrail)
  • AZEK CONCEALoc install manual — clip spacing (1 per board per joist)
  • AZEK technical data — heat performance + 50-yr warranty terms

Per-LF retail prices reflect 2026-Q1 AZEK pricing at Lowe's Pro + AZEK Pro dealer channel. CONCEALoc + Cortex specs from AZEK install manuals. 50-yr structural warranty per AZEK Building Products published terms. CoolColor surface-temperature claims from AZEK technical data sheets.

Deck-board linear feet
rows × length × (1 + waste%)

Rows = ceil(width × 12 ÷ (5.5 + 0.125)) — AZEK PVC face is 5.5″ with 1/8″ install gap. Waste % is pattern-driven (7% parallel / 12% picture-frame / 15% diagonal).

CONCEALoc box count
boxes = floor(total_clips ÷ 90)

Each CONCEALoc box ships 90 clips and covers ~50 sqft at 16″ joist on-center. Total clips = boards × (length × 12 ÷ 16 + 1). Remainder priced at $1.15 each as loose clips.

Cortex pack count
packs = ceil(area ÷ 50)

Each Cortex pack ships 50 color-matched plugs and covers ~50 sqft. Used when fastener mode = Cortex (face-screw with hidden plug aesthetic).

AZEK Lighting kit count
post_lights = ceil(perim ÷ 6) + 1 · riser_lights = stairs

Premier / Reserve / Builder rail posts go every 6 ft. One LED post-cap per post; one riser light per stair tread. 100W transformer included.

PVC labor premium
$35/sqft × 1.25 × pattern × shape × region

PVC installs are 25% slower than face-screwed PT (clip-system sequencing + thermal-gap discipline). Pattern + shape multipliers compound. Region multiplier from RSMeans 2026-Q1.
