Heat caution — Mahogany runs HOT in full sun

TimberTech AZEK technical data

Dark colors (Mahogany, hex #5A2820) measure 145-160°F at the surface in 90°F sun. PVC reflects more heat than capped composite — even AZEK Vintage in dark colors stays cooler than equivalent Trex Transcend.

How to use

Three steps. Permit-ready output.

  1. 01

    Pick a TimberTech composite line

    PRO Reserve (flagship composite, 30-yr structural, premium multi-tonal cap) is the default. Compare against PRO Legacy (mid-tier hardwood streak look) and EDGE Prime+ (value entry, Lowe's stocked). For AZEK PVC instead, use the AZEK Deck Calculator.

  2. 02

    Choose a Reserve color

    Four signature multi-tonal colors — Antique Leather (warm tobacco brown), Driftwood (cool weathered gray), Storm Grey (mid-tone gray), Pecan (golden brown). Each color is grain-printed on the cap for natural-looking variation rather than the uniform color of capped composites.

  3. 03

    Enter dimensions + pattern

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

  4. 04

    Pick a fastener

    CONCEALoc hidden-clip 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.

  5. 05

    Pick a railing

    Premier Aluminum ($175/lf, slimmest sightline), Reserve Composite ($90/lf, color-matched to Reserve decking — natural pair), or Builder Composite ($55/lf, value tier).

  6. 06

    Add accessories (optional)

    AZEK Drink Rail ($45/lf top-mount shelf) and TimberTech Lighting (post-cap + riser LED kit + 100W transformer + low-voltage wiring) are toggles.

  7. 07

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 TimberTech PRO Reserve Calculator is the composite-tier deep-cut for homeowners who've decided on the PRO Reserve flagship capped composite. Reserve is TimberTech's premium composite line (one tier below AZEK PVC) — 30-yr structural + 30-yr fade & stain warranty, multi-tonal cap for natural-looking variation, and four signature colors: Antique Leather (warm tobacco), Driftwood (cool weathered gray), Storm Grey (mid-tone gray), and Pecan (golden brown). This calc covers the full TimberTech composite tier — PRO Reserve as the focus plus PRO Legacy (hardwood-streak mid-tier) and EDGE Prime+ (value entry) for side-by-side comparison. You get a real BoM with CONCEALoc clip-box count, optional AZEK Drink Rail, optional TimberTech Lighting, and a 3-line composite-tier auto-comparison. Pricing reflects 2026-Q1 retail from Lowe's Pro + TimberTech AZEK Pro dealer channel.

IRC references

  • IRC 2021 R507 — Decks
  • IRC 2021 R312 — Guards (railing required when deck > 30″)
  • TimberTech CONCEALoc install manual — clip spacing (1 per board per joist)
  • TimberTech PRO Reserve warranty terms — 30-yr structural + 30-yr fade & stain

Per-LF retail prices reflect 2026-Q1 TimberTech composite pricing at Lowe's Pro + TimberTech AZEK Pro dealer channel. CONCEALoc + Cortex specs from TimberTech install manuals. 30-yr structural + 30-yr fade & stain warranty per TimberTech PRO Reserve published terms.

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

Rows = ceil(width × 12 ÷ (5.5 + 0.125)) — TimberTech composite face is 5.5″ with 1/8″ install gap. Waste % is pattern-driven.

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).

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

Composite installs are 25% slower than face-screwed PT (clip-system sequencing). Pattern + shape multipliers compound.

Reserve vs Legacy vs EDGE pricing
reserve_lf = $5.50 · legacy_lf = $4.80 · edge_lf = $4.10

Within the TimberTech composite tier, Reserve is the premium ($5.50/lf), Legacy is the hardwood-streak mid ($4.80/lf), EDGE Prime+ is the value entry ($4.10/lf). All carry the 30-yr structural warranty except EDGE Prime+ (25-yr).

Reserve vs AZEK Vintage decision
tco_25yr_delta = (azek_vintage_lf − pro_reserve_lf) × total_lf

If you're choosing between Reserve composite and AZEK Vintage PVC, run both — AZEK is $7.20/lf vs Reserve $5.50/lf. Over 25 years, the PVC premium ($1.70/lf × ~400 lf = $680) is offset by AZEK's longer warranty (50-yr vs 30-yr) and lower maintenance cost.
