How Stone Decks Work
StoneDeks makes it possible to install real stone, porcelain, or pavers on elevated deck framing—without traditional masonry construction.
It Starts Like a Standard Deck
The process begins with familiar deck framing methods.
Your contractor builds the structure much like a traditional wood or composite deck using standard wood or metal framing.
No poured concrete deck slab.
No full masonry buildout.
Just a smarter structural approach for elevated stone surfaces.
Then StoneDeks Creates the Structural Surface
StoneDeks uses patented SilcaGrate™ panels to create a structural surface over the framing.
These panels are designed to support real stone, porcelain, and pavers while allowing proper drainage and long-term outdoor performance.
The result is a stable foundation for elevated stone finishes.
Finished with Real Stone, Porcelain, or Pavers
Once the structural surface is complete, your chosen finish materials are installed on top.
That means you can achieve the look and permanence of stone in places traditionally limited to wood or composite decking.
The final result feels more substantial, more architectural, and more connected to the home itself.
Why Homeowners Choose It
Outdoor spaces are becoming more permanent, more functional, and more integrated into everyday living.
Stone decks help homeowners move beyond the maintenance cycle of traditional wood decking.
Low Maintenance
No sanding, staining, or yearly refinishing.
Long-Term Durability
Built for decades of outdoor use and weather exposure.
Elevated Design
The look of stone with the function and elevation of a deck.
More Substantial Feel
Creates outdoor spaces that feel more permanent and architectural.
Proven in Real-World Projects
Over 2.5 million square feet of SilcaGrate™ has been installed across residential and commercial projects.
StoneDeks is not a concept or experimental system—it’s a field-proven solution performing in real environments every day.
Ready to Explore a Stone Deck?
Whether you’re resurfacing an aging wood deck or planning a new outdoor space, StoneDeks helps make elevated stone surfaces possible.
Why Not Just Build a Traditional Deck or Patio?
Every outdoor surface has tradeoffs. Here’s how StoneDeks compares—so you can decide what fits your home.
Wood Deck
Looks great at first. Requires ongoing maintenance and eventual replacement.
Composite Decking
Lower maintenance than wood. Still a surface material—not permanent like stone.
Concrete or Patio
Durable and long-lasting. But limited to ground level and requires major site work.
The durability of stone—elevated like a deck.
| Feature | Wood | Composite | Patio | StoneDeks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elevated | Yes | Yes | No | Yes |
| Stone surface | No | No | Yes | Yes |
| Maintenance | High | Moderate | Low | Low |
| Durability | Lower | Moderate | High | High |
All Weather – can be used in any climate
Cooler than Composite – Doesn’t heat up and burn your feet!
Low Maintenance – No more scraping, pressure washing, or repainting!
Installing the StoneDeks System saves you time and money by allowing the application of stone on surfaces that would have previously been wood or composite boards. Now you can create an attractive, long-lasting, and low maintenance deck.
