FAQ
What type of fasteners and nails are recommended with Deckorators Decking?
Major fastener manufacturers produce screws specifically designed for composite decking, which reduce the need for pre-drilling and countersinking. For ease of installation, 2½" corrosion-resistant composite wood deck screws are a great choice, as they help minimize the common “mushroom” effect caused by standard fasteners.
To secure deck boards invisibly, consider using Stowaway Hidden Deck Fasteners.
For Fastendry installations, broad-head stainless steel 2" nails are ideal.

If you prefer fastening through the top of the decking but still want a clean, fastener-free appearance, Pro Fastening Systems offer a fast and easy way to hide deck screw heads on stairs, perimeter boards, or when replacing a board.
Will Deckorators composite decking fade over time?
Deckorators Decking is designed with a fade- and stain-resistant cap stock, ensuring that the colour stays vibrant for years. It's also supported by a top-tier warranty, offering 25-year coverage for both structural integrity and stain and fade resistance.
What’s the best way to clean a composite deck?
To maintain the appearance of your deck, regularly clear away leaves and debris that could cause staining. Sweep the deck boards and clean the gaps between them. For removing dirt or marks, a mixture of soap or detergent with water works well. If using a power washer, be sure to set it to the lowest pressure and use a fan-tip nozzle for safe cleaning.
Is Deckorators decking slip-resistant?
Yes, Deckorators Decking is engineered with enhanced traction to offer superior slip resistance. The capped deck boards have undergone rigorous testing in wet conditions, adhering to the AS/NZS 4586-2013 standard, as verified by an independent third-party lab on September 24-25, 2018.
What is Deckorators decking made of?
Our patented Surestone technology, featured in Deckorators mineral-based composite (MBC) decking, delivers the industry’s best strength-to-weight ratio with virtually no thermal expansion and contraction. This same technology is also used in our Picture Frame deck boards. Surestone is powerful, stable, moisture-resistant, and protected by a durable polymer cap stock that resists stains and fading.
