Using PVC, Aeratis aims to deliver a porch surface that looks great and won’t decay. Aeratis porch coverings can used on covered and uncovered porches, do not require ventilation and can be installed with nails, screws, or staples. The material can be painted or stained and be cut and routed just like wood.
Aeratis Classic and Heritage are offered in three finishes–weathered wood, redwood and battleship gray. The Traditions product is uncolored and Aeratis states that the material has a 5-A paint adhesion rating, which is the highest under the ASTM testing).
The Classic, Heritage, and Traditions are tongue and groove products. Universal, non-tongue and groove, planks are available in the Heritage and Traditions. The Classis is class-a fire rated, and the Heritage is a double-sided board, so the underside offers a finished ceiling look.
Aeratis also offers trim and porch ceiling options.
