Tapco Pulls the Plug on Clubhouse Decking

Popular PVC decking faces uncertain future after Tapco announces that it will discontinue production

1 MIN READ

Less than two years after acquiring Clubhouse from Deceuninck North America, Tapco International announced yesterday that it was discontinuing its Clubhouse decking and accessories product lines and shutting down its Metamora, Mich., production facility. Clubhouse decking is co-extruded with a cellular PVC core and an acrylic capstock.

Tapco and its parent company, Headwaters, were acquired by Boral Industries in May, 2017. Boral Industries, which manufactures and distributes fly ash-based building products for the North American market, is owned by Australia-based Boral Limited. According to a press release, Tapco is exiting the decking and railing market in order to focus on its main building product categories, which include siding, trim, and shutters. Details and a timeline for the shutdown have not yet been released.
