Knew there would of course be a difference, but didn't realize THAT much of a difference.
If you dont' feel like reading - interesting stat: PT in direct sunlight ran 127 degrees while the darkest hottest Azek ran 145 degrees. That's only 18 degree difference. If you went with a lighter Azek (ie Hazelwood), that ran 125 degrees, 2 degree COOLER than PT. Medium color Azek ran 140 degrees (Color Morado) which was 13 degrees warmer.
Not to take away from this thread and Lumberock, but would be curious how they stack up in the heat for comparison as I'm guessing most of us are using for decks in sun/ docks etc.

The person who recommended this has had a couple docks with Lumberock for five or so years, and he just bought another order, so it's gotta be good.
He also mentioned that there was NO color loss (there shouldn't be, according to company) compared to the new order.
