The firm is citing weaker than expected new residential demand and higher costs, including resin, brass, freight, also noting that expectations for a meaningful rebound in demand are fading while R&R – Repair and Remodel – demand is flattish at depressed levels, though it also sees composite decking outperforming broad R&R.
