   I remember seeing the product on the local news a couple of weeks ago. I'm in Toronto. The consumer advocate segment freatured a disgruntled homeowner. Apparently, the homeowner was persuaded by the contractor to use extendex instead of lumber. He promised a maintenance free deck but one year later mould developed on the deck.
   The contractor pleaded that the product was defective and his workmanship was fine. The reporter contacted the manufacturer for their reaction. Their comment IIRC was that their product was low maintenance not maintenance free and should be washed twice a year to prevent mould.

   That'd be interesting. Not knowing anything more than from this post and a vague recollection at hearing something about rice hulls before, I found this sentence on the front page of their site:"Xtendex eliminates mold, mildew and insects which are common problems with wood based composites, by using a unique, patented “rice hull” technology."Sure sounds like they are touting it as mold free. I'd be very curious to hear more about it, though.

   I saw this quote also. I guess the reporter didn't check the company's website before contacting the manufacturer. That would've been interesting.
