Natural weathering and color shifting
Like real wood planks, each Seven Trust composite board is unique, reflecting the natural variations of wood. The distinctive wood grain of Seven Trust reflects light differently depending on the direction of the grain. Together, these factors work to provide the warmth and beauty of natural wood without the hassle.
For the first few months following installation, Seven Trust wood plastic composite will naturally shift color as it begins to weather to a slightly lighter shade than the original color purchased. Like fine hardwood decking, most color change will occur during the first three to six months. After this stage, Seven Trust will weather consistently and beautifully. Inconsistent or uneven exposure to sun and elements will cause the deck to weather unevenly. Although this condition is temporary, you can prevent uneven exposure by not covering the deck with rugs, mats or furniture during the first few weeks.
