Deckorators: stronger than wood, lighter than composite, smarter than both.

Surestone is Deckorators' mineral-based composite (MBC) — a mineral-dense matrix core rather than wood fibre + plastic. Crushed limestone + polypropylene is the dominant chemistry. The mineral core absorbs virtually no moisture, which means virtually zero thermal expansion across Prairie freeze-thaw cycles. It's the engineering difference between Voyage/Summit and traditional capped composites. Venture is the entry tier and uses standard capped wood-composite (not Surestone).

Yes — and the Surestone tiers (Voyage and Summit) are the boards we point Prairie homeowners to first when freeze-thaw is the top concern. The mineral core absorbs virtually no moisture, so the boards run tight — no big seasonal gap, virtually no cold-crack risk. We've sold Surestone across Saskatchewan from -42°C winters to +35°C summers and never paid a thermal-expansion warranty claim on the boards. For Prairie winter performance, Surestone is among the safest bets in the capped composite category.

Voyage: 50-year structural + 25-year fade/stain residential. Summit: 25-year structural + 25-year fade/stain residential. Venture: 25-year structural + 25-year fade/stain residential. All tiers carry shorter commercial limits. Warranties are prorated in later years.

Use the deck cost calculator above — it reads live Shopify variant prices, so the number you see is always current. Quick ranges: Venture is the Entry tier (~$7–9/sqft material), Summit the Mid Surestone tier (~$19–22), and Voyage the Flagship Surestone (~$26–30). Total project cost also depends on framing, fasteners, trim, and labour — get an instant estimate for the full number.

Both use a Surestone mineral-based composite core. Voyage is the flagship — broadest colour range (6 stocked at TUDS), ground/water-contact rating, 34% more traction than leading composites. Summit is the mid-tier Surestone with a tighter modern palette (Glacier, Boulder, Cliffside) — built for contemporary Prairie architecture where the warm browns of Voyage don't fit. Same mineral-core engineering, different price point and colour story.

Yes — Voyage is the only composite in its class rated for ground contact and water contact applications. That's the spec that makes it our first recommendation for pool surrounds, hot-tub decks, and grade-level installs in Saskatchewan. The mineral core absorbs virtually no moisture, so it doesn't fail the way wood-flour boards do when they're in contact with water or wet ground.

Yes — we ship Deckorators LTL freight across Canada. Voyage and Venture are stocked at both yards, and Summit can be ordered in. Most of the country doesn't carry the full Surestone lineup at retail, so if you're in Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton, or further east, TUDS is often your closest real supplier.
