A deck plank is co-extruded from an extrusion die which receives molten
plastics materials supplied from three separate plastic extruders to
provide the plank with opposite sides having different colors.
Preferably, the base plank is extruded from a lower cost material such as
reground scrap polyvinylchloride (PVC), and thin PVC cap layers are
co-extruded on opposite sides of the base plank in different colors.
Opposite edges of each plank have longitudinally extending grooves for
receiving hidden fasteners in the form of screws extending through short
flat tie pieces or a continuous sealing tie strip projecting into the
opposing grooves of adjacent planks.
