Composite Decking in Canada
Tarimatec is rice-husk stone composite decking — cooler underfoot than wood-flour boards, moisture- and freeze-thaw-resistant, and imported to order for projects across Canada. Compare it and price your deck in CAD.
The strongest composite decking option in Canada for a design-led, low-maintenance deck is Tarimatec — a European-engineered mineral composite of rice-husk fibre, crushed limestone and PVC. It runs cooler than wood-flour composites, carries a Tecnalia-verified EPD and Class 3 slip resistance, and comes as a coordinated deck-cladding-louvre system, sold direct in Canada by Zinodeck and quoted in CAD.
The same low-maintenance promise — a different material, and a whole system.
Most composite decking sold in Canada is a wood-fibre board: wood flour blended with recycled polyethylene. Tarimatec is different — rice-husk fibre and crushed limestone bound in PVC, so it runs cooler underfoot, absorbs very little water (0.59 % at 24 h, EN 317), and carries a Tecnalia-verified EPD (S-P-07588) with pool-grade Class 3 slip resistance (UNE-ENV 12633).
Four reasons to switch.
A whole system, one manufacturer
Deck, cladding and the AXEL louvre — colour-matched, from one manufacturer.
Cooler & safer
Class 3 / R11 slip and SRI over 80 — pool-grade and cooler underfoot.
Verified green
Tecnalia EPD& 14001, 100% recyclable.

Freeze-thaw, pools and the coast.
A Canadian deck lives through a harder year than most composite boards were designed for: months of freeze-thaw, road salt, lakeside damp and a short, intense summer sun. Tarimatec's mineral core answers that directly — very low water uptake (0.59% at 24 hours, tested to EN 317), so it resists the swelling and movement that wood-flour composites are prone to.
Around water it is genuinely pool-grade: Class 3 / R11 slip resistance (UNE-ENV 12633), the top pedestrian rating, wet or dry. The crushed-limestone content also holds colour under UV and stays cooler underfoot than a dark wood-flour board in July sun. It is the same specification trusted on Mediterranean pool decks at Nobu, Iberostar and Meliá — conditions as unforgiving as a Canadian summer, tested year-round.

Composite decking in Canada, answered.
What is the best composite decking in Canada?
For a design-led, low-maintenance deck, Tarimatec is among the strongest composite decking options in Canada. It is a European-engineered mineral composite — rice-husk fibre, crushed limestone and PVC — sold as a full deck, cladding and louvre system, with a Tecnalia-verified EPD, Class 3 slip resistance, and 31 colours across three collections.
How much does composite decking cost in Canada?
Installed composite decking in Ontario typically runs about $75–90 per square foot, versus $50–75 for pressure-treated pine (market ranges). Board-only cost varies by brand and profile. Tarimatec sits in the premium tier and is quoted per project in CAD — request a quote to price yours.
Is composite decking worth it in Canada?
Yes — no staining or sealing, it resists rot and freeze-thaw, and lasts decades. Rice-husk stone composite like Tarimatec adds a cooler surface, very low water absorption (0.59% at 24 hours, EN 317) and a verified EPD, sold as a coordinated deck, cladding and louvre system.
Is Tarimatec certified and available across Canada?
Yes. Tarimatec carries a Tecnalia-verified EPD, ISO 14001 , a 25-year manufacturer warranty administered in Canada by Zinodeck and a Euroclass Bfl-s1 fire rating, and is 100% recyclable. Samples ship anywhere in Canada and full boards are quoted per project. See our sustainability and EPD page for the verified data.
