Why Legacy PVC

Original line.
Proven on real decks.

Legacy PVC has been on the line at Patwin Plastics since we started building decking. It is the board most of our authorized dealers carry first, and the one most often spec'd on commercial jobs. No frills. Solid color, classic texture, real warranty, easy install.

Solid color through

Color and UV stabilizer run through the cellular PVC, not just at the surface. Scuffs and saw cuts disappear.

Top-fasten or hidden

Solid Edge boards take screws and color-matched plugs. Grooved boards drop onto InvisiClip™ with no visible screws.

Subtle wood-grain

A quiet, embossed grain texture across every board. Reads as decking, not as plastic.

25 / 10 year warranty

25-year limited residential, 10-year limited commercial. Splitting, flaking, rotting, structural defects, fading beyond 5 Delta E.

Three profiles

Solid Edge, Grooved Edge,
or Grooved for InvisiClip™.

Same compound, same colors, same warranty. Pick the board that matches how you want to fasten the deck: face screws and plugs, standard grooved-edge clips, or the InvisiClip™ rail system.

Questions

Legacy PVC Decking,
answered.

The questions builders and homeowners ask most about Legacy cellular PVC decking, answered straight.

What is Legacy PVC Decking?

Legacy PVC Decking is American Pro's original cellular PVC deck board. The board is solid-color UV-stabilized PVC with a subtle wood-grain texture, manufactured on the same extrusion line as our flagship TrueGrain Deck. The difference is the surface finish: Legacy PVC carries a classic seven-color palette, TrueGrain carries a laminated hardwood-grain surface.

What colors does Legacy PVC Decking come in?

Seven classic colors: Driftwood (light grey wood-grain), Khaki (warm tan), Hazelnut (medium warm brown), Beachwood (cool grey grain), Chestnut (rich red-brown), Redwood (warm reddish-brown), and Slate (medium warm grey).

What profiles are available?

Three profiles. Solid Edge boards have square edges and are face screwed with color-matched plugs. Grooved Edge boards have a slot in each side edge for standard grooved-edge hidden clips, such as Starborn Clip & Rip. Grooved for InvisiClip boards have two dovetail channels on the underside that seat onto our InvisiClip rail system. Both hidden options leave no visible screws on the finished deck. Compare all three profiles.

Can Legacy PVC Decking be installed with hidden fasteners?

Yes, two ways. Order the Grooved for InvisiClip profile for our InvisiClip system, which is built to the Grad System spec; its underside channels are the same on Legacy PVC and TrueGrain Deck. Or order the Grooved Edge profile, which accepts universal side-edge hidden clips made for grooved decking, such as CAMO EDGE and WEDGE clips and Starborn Clip & Rip, so installers can use the hidden fastener line they already stock. The two grooved profiles are not interchangeable, so match the board to the fastener.

Can Legacy PVC Decking be face-fastened with the Starborn Pro Plug system?

Yes. The Starborn Pro Plug System is a matched face-fastening setup for Legacy PVC Decking, ideal for the spots that have to be top-fastened anyway, such as stair treads, the perimeter board against the house, and the last course at a wall. A stepped bit pre-drills and counterbores in one pass, then stainless screws are driven and tapered cellular PVC plugs are tapped in and sanded flush. Because Legacy is solid color all the way through, the color-matched plug blends into the board and ages with the deck instead of standing out. Order Solid Edge boards for face fastening. Starborn face screws and plugs are also used on TrueGrain Deck Solid Edge boards.

What is the Legacy PVC warranty?

Legacy PVC Decking carries a 25-year limited residential warranty and a 10-year limited commercial warranty. Boards are warranted against splitting, flaking, rotting, and structural manufacturing defects. The board is also designed to resist fading and will not fade more than 5 Delta E (CIE) units after exposure to UV and weathering.

How is Legacy PVC different from TrueGrain Deck?

Both boards share the same cellular PVC core and extrusion line. Legacy PVC is solid-color UV-stabilized PVC with a subtle wood-grain texture in a classic seven-color palette. TrueGrain adds a laminated hardwood-grain capstock finish for a more realistic wood look. Choose Legacy for a clean classic finish and TrueGrain for a premium hardwood appearance.

Is Legacy PVC Decking made in the USA?

Yes. Legacy PVC Decking is extruded by Patwin Plastics at its vertically integrated facility in Linden, New Jersey, on the same line as TrueGrain Deck.

Can I order free Legacy PVC samples?

Yes. Free hand samples of any Legacy PVC color can be requested through the samples form on this page so you can evaluate the color and grain on the actual home before ordering.
