FAQs

The StoneDeks System is a very versatile system that can be used in a variety of applications, and that doesn’t end with existing decks! If you are just looking to renovate your current deck and bring new life to it by transforming it into a stone deck, then StoneDeks is still the right choice for you. Since an existing deck wouldn’t have been measured and built to account for the thickness of SilcaGrate, the installation is a little bit different but still just as simple. We have very useful training courses and materials on the website that can help you in both new and existing deck installations.
It would not be recommended to install pavers on a deck without a proper support structure in place that can support the extra weight. That is where StoneDeks System comes in! The Silcagrate was designed to support the weight of hardscape materials while also being simple and easy to install. The grates are tested by applying over 500 pounds of weight on each grate for at least 30 days!
The answer to this question can be pretty dependent on exactly what stone or hardscape material you plan to use. In general, a stone deck can be a bit more expensive than wood or composite to install. That being said, the long-term costs are considerably lower since there is little to no maintenance with a stone deck. For example, wood decks are definitely the cheapest option, but have a shorter life span and will require regular maintenance and upkeep every 3 to 5 years, while a stone deck won’t be susceptible to weathering and fading and rot like a wood deck would be so wouldn’t require the same maintenance and upkeep costs.
This would vary depending on a few different factors. First you would want to consider what material you are using. Pavers like concrete tend to get hotter than natural stone or porcelain tiles, which tend to maintain cooler surface temperatures. You would also want to consider the color of your pavers. Black tends to absorb the most light and therefore would hold the most heat. The darker the paver, the hotter the surface. Finally, you could always choose to put up a nice shade system to help maintain the temperature of your deck.
This again will be dependent on what hardscape material you choose to use. Keep in mind that hardscape is regularly use around pool areas and for decks around pools so the manufacturers of the used hardscapes have to keep this very thing in mind. When choosing what type of paver you are going to use, be sure to research the slip resistance properties of the material and refer to the manufacturers specifications.
We have a very convenient and easy to use dealer and contractor locator on the website that allows you to search your location for the nearest contractor to you.

If you are having trouble finding someone in your area, feel free to contact us or have your contractor contact us so we can help in getting you everything you need.
While the primary purpose of the StoneDeks system is for the installation of hardscape on decks, it can be used with Astroturf as well. We have had people use this around pool decks and the results look amazing. It is suggested that a good sturdy geotextile or our SilcaMat is placed underneath the Astroturf to give the turf a more sturdy backing and prevent a chair leg going through the turf and the open grates.
