What is stone composite decking?

Stone composite decking is a mineral-reinforced composite board, a distinct category from standard wood-plastic composite (WPC). Tarimatec Ecofiber binds about 50% rice husk and around 40% recycled content in a mineral matrix, giving better freeze-thaw stability, UV-fade resistance and lower moisture uptake than wood-fibre composites.

What is the most sustainable composite decking in Canada?

Tarimatec Ecofiber Stone Composite, distributed in Canada by Zinodeck. It carries an EPD verified by Tecnalia plus ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, is roughly 50% rice husk and 40% recycled content, and is 100% recyclable, the option with third-party-verified environmental data.

How much does a composite deck cost in Canada?

Composite decking materials in Canada run about 7 to 20 dollars per square foot; a fully installed composite deck typically lands around 40 to 75 dollars per square foot once substructure and labour are included. Use Zinodeck's CAD calculator for a Tarimatec material estimate.

Is Tarimatec composite decking made in Canada?

No. Tarimatec is European-engineered (made in Spain). Zinodeck is its exclusive Canadian distributor, based in Vaughan, Ontario, stocking and warrantying it for Canadian conditions with a 25-year warranty.

What is a good Trex alternative in Canada?

For verified sustainability and cold-climate stability, Tarimatec Ecofiber stone composite from Zinodeck is a strong Trex alternative in Canada: EPD-verified, available in 31 colours, with a 25-year warranty and Canadian distribution.

What is Tarimatec

More than a deck board — a coordinated outdoor system.

Tarimatec is a Spanish manufacturer of architectural composite: decking, ventilated façade cladding, and louvre systems, made from a single material it calls Ecofiber-Stone. It is made in Europe by Plásticos Viters and specified by architects and hospitality groups across the Mediterranean. In Canada, it is distributed exclusively by Zinodeck.

Where most outdoor composite is a deck board and little else, Tarimatec is a coordinated envelope — the same material, the same colours, from the floor of a terrace to the screen that wraps it.

The material · Ecofiber-Stone

Three honest ingredients.

Tarimatec is not plastic lumber. Its Ecofiber-Stone composite is built from three things you can name: rice-husk fibre, crushed limestone, and PVC. The rice husk is a by-product of rice, not felled timber. The PVC itself is only 43% petroleum — the rest comes from common salt. The finished board is 100% recyclable.

That mineral content is what you feel underfoot: a surface that stays cooler in sun, holds its colour, and shrugs off water where wood-flour composites swell.

The system

One material. The whole outdoor envelope.

Deck, façade, screen and shade — colour-matched, from one manufacturer. The coordinated system Trex, TimberTech and Fiberon don't offer.

Decking

Hollow and solid boards in 31 tones across Chromatic, Wood and Ethnic — concealed aluminium sub-frame, Class 3 slip.

Cladding & façade

Ventilated façade and slat systems — Montblanc, Annapurna, Aris, Malibú — the same colours, carried vertically.

AXEL louvre

A rotating louvre that dials privacy and filtered light, and can be digitally printed. No US-composite equivalent.

Pergolas & shade

Coordinated slats and pergola elements that finish the outdoor room in the same material and finish.

Specified where it's hardest to get right

Proven in the Mediterranean's most demanding hotels.

Sun, salt and a thousand guests a day are an unforgiving test. Tarimatec passes it on pool decks, rooftops and façades that must look immaculate every morning.

Tarimatec vs Trex

A different idea of composite.

Trex built the North American category — on recycled polyethylene and wood flour, sold as a deck board. Tarimatec comes at it from the other direction: a mineral-rich PVC composite engineered in Europe as a full architectural system, from deck to façade to louvre. Neither is “better” in the abstract; they are built for different briefs.

Trex publishes North-American fire and code ratings Tarimatec does not yet carry. If your project is fire-code-driven, tell us early. If it's design-driven, this is where Tarimatec pulls ahead.
