Ya, but home owners are stupid and they might have just doubled their margins for the product. I dont see how you can really claim warranty on a deck anyway. There have to be so many outs for not paying out on that stuff, and if you do, im sure it is a depreciating scale similar to carpet so by the time you pay out its only a % of the installed price. I would almost expect a boost in profits from this.

I think their margins are actually lower with this product and they would have to sell twice as much to equal the same dollar amount. Trust me you can claim warranty on a deck. That is how trex got into so many lawsuits in the early 2000's that is why they even had to have a second generation of composites in the first place. It is a depreciating scale, but this product has so many more chances to fail then the other product they had.
