Envision Outdoor Living Products, manufacturer of Envision composite decking and Fairway Railing collections, has added Cool Tread Technology to its Ridge Premium capped composite decking line. Decking with Cool Tread Technology boasts a surface that’s up to 25% cooler, with up to 33% better traction and up to 61% less moisture absorption than average leading competitors. Previously offered for the Distinction Collection, the benefits of Cool Tread Technology now extend to the budget-friendly Ridge Premium collection, combining high-end innovation with accessible luxury.
Ridge Premium with Cool Tread Technology launches in three new colors, each offering rich variegation and graining to truly emulate the authenticity of wood:
- Silver Drift: Evoking weathered boardwalks and soft seaside grays
- Baja Tide: Featuring inviting golden overtones inspired by warm coastal sands
- Kodiak Bay: Emulating the deep gray-brown hues of sheltered coves and rocky shores

“Since its introduction, Cool Tread Technology has proven very popular with pros and consumers alike, providing authentic wood looks but also a cooler feel underfoot in areas with high sun and heat,” said Adam Caplinger, Director of Sales for Envision Outdoor Living Products. “Adding Cool Tread color options to our Ridge Premium line extends those benefits to even more projects across a range of price points.”

Like all Envision capped composite decking options, Ridge Premium with Cool Tread Technology is crafted with Envision’s proprietary Compress Technology™, which pairs its EverGrain Core™ with a high-density cap to create durable, low-maintenance decking. This manufacturing process results in decking that offers authentic, deep, non-repeating grains; is resistant to staining, splintering, cracking, rot, and insects; and doesn’t require staining, sanding, or sealing.
Ridge Premium is available in square-edge and grooved-edge profiles. The boards’ fluted bottom has a wider edge, providing more room to drive screws for easier, faster installation.
