TimberTech Invite Collection

The TimberTech Invite Collection sits in the company’s EDGE family as their streamlined composite decking — an engineered line that strips away premium features for practical homeowners. The Invite Collection is part of the Prime/Prime+ line within the Composite EDGE family, targeting homeowners who want composite decking benefits without extra frills.

Product Positioning and Technology

The Invite Collection features painted or blended looks designed for homeowners seeking a durable, low-maintenance deck. It offers a 25-year fade and stain warranty, emphasizing durability while maintaining aesthetic appeal.

The engineering choices reveal smart design thinking. Made with a wood-plastic composite core and capped on three sides (top and sides), it provides good weather resistance and ease of upkeep. The scalloped core design reduces weight, making it a practical choice that balances durability with aesthetic appeal. That scalloped core — essentially hollowing out sections of the board profile — cuts material usage and weight. Smart for shipping, installation handling, and manufacturing efficiency.

It features a core made from approximately 85% recycled polymers and reclaimed wood fibers, with a wood-free cap composed of high-performance polymers. Available in standard width, the Invite Collection emphasizes durability, eco-friendliness, and aesthetic appeal, making it suitable for those seeking a reliable, wood-like decking solution with environmentally conscious materials.

The three-sided capping deserves attention. Unlike TimberTech’s premium lines with four-sided protection, Invite leaves the bottom uncapped. In Montana’s freeze-thaw cycles, that exposed composite core becomes the weak point — moisture can wick up from below, especially on ground-level decks or areas with poor ventilation.

Performance Features

The collection’s specifications include a rugged grain pattern that effectively hides wear and tear, making it suitable for high-traffic areas. That textured surface serves double duty — concealing scratches while providing decent traction when wet.

The collection provides a 30-year limited warranty, including fade and stain resistance, and is designed to be moisture-resistant and heat-resistant, staying cooler than many competitive options. The heat resistance claim matters for Montana summers when dark composite boards can hit scorching temperatures in direct sun.

The Furniture Angle

TimberTech expanded the Invite name beyond decking into outdoor furniture. It features pieces such as the Aside Table and Conversation Table, crafted to combine durability, style, and low maintenance, making it popular for enhancing outdoor spaces. Made from high-density polymers and stainless steel fasteners, the collection ensures longevity and weather resistance. The collection emphasizes quality craftsmanship, comfort, and visual appeal, making it a reliable choice for outdoor living.

The Mingle Bench is a two-person outdoor loveseat, ideal for creating inviting spaces on porches, decks, or patios. It features bold hues, playful design, and ergonomic angles for extended outdoor relaxation. The TimberTech Invite Collection, including the Adirondack Lounge Chair, offers modern, stylish outdoor furniture designed for comfort and durability. Crafted from high-quality materials, these chairs feature contemporary aesthetics with bold colors and playful designs, making them standout accent pieces for decks, patios, or porches. The chairs are engineered for maximum comfort, with tailored angles that support extended outdoor lounging.

The furniture line represents TimberTech’s push toward complete outdoor living systems — selling the deck, the railing, and the furniture on top. The collection emphasizes a clean, modern look with options for color and style that complement TimberTech’s decking and railing products.

Bottom Line

The Invite Collection delivers exactly what it promises — a straightforward composite decking option that handles basic weather protection and low maintenance. The three-sided capping and scalloped core make engineering sense for simplified construction. Just understand the trade-offs. That exposed bottom face won’t matter on a well-ventilated second-story deck. Ground-level installations in Montana’s wet spring conditions? Consider four-sided protection alternatives.

For the furniture line, TimberTech leverages polymer expertise from decking into seating and tables. The stainless steel fasteners and high-density polymer construction should handle Montana winters better than most outdoor furniture. Whether you need matching furniture depends on your design priorities — the decking stands on its own merits regardless.
