Is Vantage Decking suitable for docks and marinas?

Vantage Decking features a rustic wood-grain texture designed to provide increased traction in both wet and dry conditions, offering confident footing for decks, docks, and other outdoor applications.

Does the color of Vantage Decking change after installation?

Yes. Vantage boards naturally lighten after installation and reach their permanent color within approximately the first six months.

Can you use both sides of a Vantage deck board?

Yes. Vantage deck boards are reversible, with a natural wood-grain texture on both sides. This provides greater installation flexibility because either side of the board can be used.

Is Vantage Decking made from recycled materials?

Yes. Vantage Decking is made in the USA using 95% recycled material, providing a more sustainable decking option for outdoor projects.

What’s the benefit of using Deckorators grooved decking instead of standard composite decking?

Deckorators grooved decking features a pre-machined 5/32" groove along the sides of each board to accommodate StealthLock™ Universal Deck Clips, featuring innovation by CAMO. These black, discreet fasteners securely hold deck boards in place while maintaining proper ¼" spacing, allowing for natural expansion and contraction. Designed for use with grooved Surestone®, composite, PVC, and hardwood deck boards, StealthLock™ fasteners provide a strong, clean finish with no visible screws. Plus, they work seamlessly with CAMO tools for quick and efficient installation, giving your deck a polished, professional look.

What’s the difference between Deckorators composite decking and wood?

Deckorators composite decking offers improved heat resistance, strength, and durability compared to traditional wood decking. The composite material resists fading, mold, mildew, and scratches while providing a more consistent appearance.

Unlike wood, which requires regular maintenance and is prone to rot, splintering, and UV damage, Deckorators composite decking is low-maintenance and designed to withstand the elements. Its enhanced traction also provides safety in wet conditions.

For more details, check out Deckorators Surestone technology.

Why is composite decking more expensive than treated wood?

Composite decking is generally more expensive than treated wood due to several factors:

Material Composition: Composite decking is made from a blend of wood fibers and plastic, which requires more advanced manufacturing processes and higher-quality materials than treated wood.
Durability and Maintenance: Composite decking is designed to resist fading, staining, scratching, and mold, which means it typically requires less maintenance over its lifespan compared to treated wood. This added durability contributes to the higher cost.
Longer Lifespan: Composite decking has a longer lifespan, often lasting 25 years or more, whereas treated wood may need to be replaced or re-treated after several years. The initial higher cost can be offset by the longer-term savings in maintenance and replacement.
Aesthetics: Composite decking often offers a wider range of colors, textures, and designs.

While the upfront cost of composite decking is higher, the long-term benefits, including low maintenance and durability, can make it a more cost-effective choice over time.
