Be very wary of their warehouse. They are power hungry and lied to us. They do not care for Conservatives at all and made that quite plain. We'll never even think of loading up there again ever. Very unfriendly and opinionated. Their way or the highway.

This product is not what it claims to be. I spent alot of money buying cedar color tandex for my dock in Florida. After 5 years the color completely faded. There warranty states uv protection it is not. Called Tangent spoke with Director of sales and CEO of the company, they say they will get back to u it takes days and sometimes u have to call them back with the same results. We will look into it.
Now they want to propain with a torch to a plastic deck to try to get color back. I spoke with 3 deck builders all say bad batch and they should replace decking that should not happen to a deck after 5 years. If I was to do it all over again I would even touch this product. The company just don't care, u think they would have sent a representative down to look at it, no just send pictures. In my opinion I would not buy this product.
