Deckorators Distressed Decking

The Deckorators® Distressed™ Decking Collection brought timeless character and low-maintenance durability together in a line that honored the rustic warmth of traditional wood decks. With its wire-brushed texture, subtle color variation, and rich, weathered tones, Distressed decking was designed to evoke the look of reclaimed wood – perfect for homeowners who valued the charm of vintage-inspired outdoor living.

Each board in the Distressed collection was made using a wood-plastic composite core, capped for enhanced moisture resistance and durability. The surface delivered the authentic look of wood without the need for sanding, staining, or sealing – offering a practical solution for those seeking long-lasting style with reduced upkeep. Its slotted-edge profile allowed for hidden fastener installation, giving decks a clean, uninterrupted surface from edge to edge.

The collection featured Cherrywood, a warm reddish-brown tone with black undertones and realistic grain detailing that blended seamlessly with a wide range of exterior finishes. Whether used as the main decking or paired with other collections for contrast or accent, Distressed added depth and character to any layout.

While the Distressed collection has been discontinued, it remains a favorite among homeowners and contractors who appreciated its classic aesthetic, slip resistance, and overall performance. Decks built with Distressed boards still offer beauty and function today, with many lasting well beyond their warranty periods thanks to their solid construction and composite design.

Deckorators Distressed decking is no longer in active production and is available only through limited inventory or special-order channels. If you’re updating or repairing an existing deck built with Distressed, check with local suppliers or contact Deckorators directly to explore any remaining stock.

What is Deckorators Distressed decking made of?

Deckorators Distressed decking is made from a traditional wood-plastic composite core. It contains a blend of 95% recycled plastic and renewable wood fiber, offering a balance between sustainability and strength. The surface is capped with a durable protective layer that helps prevent moisture absorption, fading, mold, and scratches. This construction provides a low-maintenance alternative to natural wood without sacrificing aesthetics. Although it’s now discontinued, the material composition still holds up in long-term performance.

Is Deckorators Distressed decking still available for purchase?

Deckorators Distressed decking has been officially discontinued and is no longer part of the brand’s active product line. However, some remaining inventory may still be available through local distributors, clearance sales, or secondary suppliers. If you’re trying to match an existing deck, it’s worth contacting retailers who carried the product previously. In some cases, homeowners may also find leftover stock from contractors or suppliers. Keep in mind that availability is extremely limited and not guaranteed.

What color options were available in the Deckorators Distressed collection?

The primary color available in the Deckorators Distressed collection was Cherrywood, a rich, reddish-brown tone with subtle grain detailing and a naturally weathered finish. The Cherrywood shade was designed to mimic the appearance of aged hardwood, making it a favorite for rustic and traditional designs. Its warm, earthy undertones paired well with dark railings and stone elements. The matte finish helped reduce glare and enhance the reclaimed wood aesthetic.

How does Deckorators Distressed perform in wet or humid conditions?

Deckorators Distressed decking is capped with a protective layer that resists moisture, mold, and mildew. While it does not have the ultra-low moisture absorption of mineral-based composites like Summit, it still holds up well in most residential settings. The embossed woodgrain texture also provides improved traction, even when the surface is wet. For shaded or damp areas, this was an added safety benefit. As with any composite deck, routine cleaning helps prevent buildup and maintain its appearance.

Is Deckorators Distressed decking resistant to fading and scratches?

Yes, Deckorators Distressed includes a durable cap layer that provides resistance to fading, staining, and surface scratches. This outer layer helps preserve the Cherrywood color and finish over time, even with exposure to sun and foot traffic. While no decking is completely immune to wear, the capped surface offers strong protection for everyday use. Regular sweeping and occasional washing with soap and water will keep the deck looking its best. Many homeowners have reported that their Distressed decks continue to perform well years after installation.

Does Deckorators Distressed require sealing, staining, or painting?

No, Deckorators Distressed decking is designed to be a low-maintenance alternative to traditional wood. It does not require any sealing, staining, or painting to maintain its appearance. The protective cap layer locks in color and defends against the elements, making upkeep as simple as periodic cleaning. This was a major selling point for homeowners who wanted the look of wood without the annual maintenance. Even with the collection now discontinued, existing boards still deliver worry-free performance.

What kind of warranty came with Deckorators Distressed decking?

Deckorators Distressed was backed by a 25-year limited warranty covering structural integrity, as well as stain and fade protection. This warranty helped reinforce the product’s reputation for long-term reliability and value. While the collection is no longer in production, the warranty terms may still apply to existing customers depending on purchase and installation date. Homeowners with proof of purchase can contact Deckorators for support. It’s a good idea to review the original warranty document or speak directly with the brand for clarification.

How do you clean and maintain a Deckorators Distressed deck?

Cleaning a Deckorators Distressed deck is simple and doesn’t require special products. Most dirt and debris can be removed with a broom or a garden hose. For deeper cleaning, use warm water and mild soap with a soft brush or mop. Pressure washers can be used on a low setting with a fan-tip nozzle, but avoid using high pressure too close to the surface. Routine care helps preserve both appearance and performance, especially in high-traffic or shaded areas.

Can I still use Deckorators Distressed decking for repairs or add-ons?

If you already have a Deckorators Distressed deck and need to make repairs or add onto the structure, it’s possible – but matching the boards may be difficult. Since the collection is discontinued, exact matches can only be found through leftover inventory or salvage sources. If exact matches aren’t available, consider using a coordinating trim or accent color for contrast. Always check sizing and profile compatibility before installation. In cases where you can’t find the same product, consult with a contractor for creative alternatives that blend with the existing look.
