Excellence And Professionalism!

Our Decking Materials

In commercial applications, material performance is inseparable from economic and regulatory considerations. Our offerings reflect a careful balance of upfront investment, life-cycle cost, and maintenance requirements.
Wood deck boards

Wood

While natural wood—such as cedar, redwood, and Ipe—may be preferred for boutique or hospitality applications seeking warmth and authenticity, we advise clients to consider long-term upkeep and climate exposure when selecting softwoods or tropical hardwoods.

Trex composite deck boards

Composite

Ideal for high-traffic, low-maintenance installations, composite decking materials resist fading, splintering, and rot. These properties make them particularly well-suited for commercial use, where reliability and aesthetics must coexist.

PVC Decking

Offering the highest resistance to weather, stain, and insect damage, PVC materials are often favored in institutional or high-volume spaces where safety and durability are non-negotiable.

The Best Enhancements and Additions for Your Deck

Each commercial project warrants enhancements that optimize usability, aesthetics, and safety. These add-ons are not peripheral but essential design tools for creating high-performing public and semi-public spaces.

Styles of Decks

Commercial decking must often reconcile diverse architectural programs and occupancy needs. The following configurations represent commonly employed styles that we adapt to site-specific conditions and operational requirements.

Platform Deck

Suited for storefronts, pop-up retail zones, or outdoor cafés, platform decks offer accessible, ground-level expansion without requiring extensive structural support.

Raised Deck

By elevating users above grade, raised decks can create panoramic dining terraces, event stages, or transit-adjacent social spaces, while enabling storage or utility space below.

Multi-Level Deck

Frequently used in entertainment or hospitality venues, these decks delineate programmatic zones such as VIP lounges, bar areas, or performance stages within a cohesive structure.

Freestanding Deck

These unattached structures are often employed in parks, outdoor pavilions, or garden centers, allowing for design flexibility and site adaptability.

Rooftop Deck

A popular solution in urban commercial design, rooftop decks convert unused overhead space into high-value gathering areas, often used for bars, lounges, or co-working amenities.

Pool Deck

Designed to resist chlorinated water and accommodate continuous foot traffic, pool decks in hotels or fitness centers must meet specific safety and slip-resistance standards.

Curved Deck

Used to soften hard architectural lines or guide user circulation, curved decks introduce a sense of movement and distinction in otherwise rectilinear settings.

Cantilevered Deck

These suspended platforms can project views or extend functionality without requiring posts or columns, making them especially valuable in constrained or scenic locations.

Covered Deck

Integral in climates like Minnesota’s, covered decks extend seasonal use for restaurants and venues by sheltering patrons from precipitation and UV exposure.

Privacy Screens

Where commercial sites abut residential zones or public right-of-ways, privacy screens serve as both regulatory compliance and aesthetic refinement.
