At STAR, we offer a wide variety of different materials that can be used to build a deck:

Brown Treated: Brown-treated wood is a pressure-treated lumber that resists rot, decay, and insects, all while maintaining the natural look and feel of wood.

Cedar: Cedar is a beautiful, naturally durable wood that doesn’t absorb much heat, keeping it cool in the summer heat.

Trex: A composite material, Trex is a highly sustainable, highly durable decking material available in a variety of different colours and styles; it’s also extremely low-maintenance.

MoistureShield: A composite material that’s particularly moisture resistant. MoistureShield is made out of over 95% recycled material; like Trex, it’s quite low-maintenance.

Pedra: A luxurious, durable, and low-maintenance hardwood, it has exceptional heat resistance that keeps it cool during the summer.
