If you’re a Canadian homeowner or contractor looking to build a deck that can truly stand up to our challenging climate, you’ve likely heard good things about composite decking. But not all composites are created equal. At The Ultimate Deck Shop, we’ve worked with every major brand and style out there, and one option consistently stands above the rest for harsh Saskatchewan weather: Deckorators Voyage Sedona.
What Makes Deckorators Voyage Sedona Special?
Deckorators Voyage Sedona isn’t just another composite deck board. It’s a mineral-based composite (MBC) built for performance where most other decking fails. Canadian backyards face brutal winters, soaking springs, and hot, dry summers. Most composite decks expand, contract, or crack – but Voyage Sedona was engineered for extreme weather, and it’s earned a reputation among our local DIYers and pros alike for its reliability and longevity.
Key Features at a Glance
- Mineral-Based Composite Core – Ultra-stable, won’t swell, warp, or shrink with temperature or moisture swings
- Premium Traction – Textured embossing for superior slip resistance even when wet or icy
- Lightweight – Easier to handle and install than typical composites or PVC boards
- Rich Sedona Hue – A deep, natural reddish-brown tone that stays vibrant for years
- Industry-Leading Warranties – 50-year structural, 25-year stain & fade, and 25-year removal/replacement
Why Is Deckorators Voyage Sedona Perfect for Canadian Climates?
We can’t overstate this: our Prairie winters and blazing summers destroy most outdoor materials, fast. Here’s how Voyage Sedona beats the elements:
- No Swelling or Cracking: The Sedona board’s mineral-based core absorbs virtually no moisture (compared to traditional composite that can swell and gap), so you never get ugly bulging, buckling, or cracked ends in springtime.
- Freeze-Thaw Safety: Because it won’t take on water, you don’t need to worry about freeze-thaw cycles causing hidden damage beneath the surface.
- Superior Traction All Year Round: The embossed texture is a step above what standard decking offers for slip resistance – crucial for the inevitable ice, snow, and rain.
- Stays Cooler Underfoot: Unlike many dark composites that can become almost too hot to walk on in July, Sedona’s formulation reflects more heat for a more comfortable barefoot deck experience in the summer.
In-Depth Look: The Technology Behind Voyage Sedona
Deckorators’ mineral-based composite technology sets it apart both from wood-plastic composite (WPC) and even most PVC boards. It’s not made from recycled wood fiber; instead, it blends high-grade minerals with durable polymers, capping it on three sides for exceptional stain, fade, and moisture resistance.
- Core Compound: Dense blend of minerals and polypropylene offers unbeatable stability.
- Cap Layer: Hard-wearing, colour-fast, and easy to clean. Protects against spills, barbecue grease, and summer sun.
Real-World Performance: What Our Customers Notice Most
- Easy Installation – At about 30% lighter than typical composite, a single DIYer can often move and position even 20-foot boards with less fatigue.
- Minimal Maintenance – Forget sealing, staining, or time-consuming sanding. A gentle soap-and-water scrub (especially after our classic Prairie pollen season) is all it takes.
- Long-Term Looks – The Sedona shade stays rich and true: decades from now, it’ll still look inviting (not faded or splotchy like many older decks in your neighbourhood).
Easy Installation: Designed for DIY and Contractors
Whether you’re hiring a pro or tackling it yourself, Deckorators Voyage Sedona is friendly to work with.

A Closer Look at Sedona’s Colour
One of the most common questions we hear is about colour fidelity—will my deck look as good in five years as on day one? Sedona features a striking, warm reddish-brown that fits beautifully with most modern homes. Thanks to advanced pigments and a thick cap layer, it resists both blazing sun and prolonged winter exposure better than most alternatives.
Warranty Details that Provide True Peace of Mind
- 50-Year Structural Warranty: We see decks built with this product outlast most outdoor furniture!
- 25-Year Stain and Fade Warranty: Pet mess, food spills, or Saskatchewan sun—this deck is covered.
- 25-Year Removal & Replacement Warranty: If an issue ever arises due to manufacturer defect, you’re covered for the full replacement process, not just material costs.
All-Season Maintenance Tips
- Quarterly Cleaning: A bucket of soapy water and a soft brush is usually enough. We recommend a deeper clean each spring to clear away dust, pollen and winter debris.
- No Coatings Required: Deckorators boards never need oiling, sealing, or painting.
- Rinse Off: A quick rinse after barbecues or muddy boots helps preserve Sedona’s beauty.
How Deckorators Voyage Sedona Compares to Standard Options
- Traditional Wood: Needs yearly maintenance, can rot or warp, and is hazardous when icy. Voyage Sedona eliminates these headaches, with none of the splinters.
- Basic Composite: Many lower-end composites can swell, fade, or get hot—especially on wide decks with heavy sun. Sedona’s mineral core is immune to water, and its lighter weight and colour stability easily outperform basic boards.
