Deckorators Dark Slate 1×6 Picture Frame Board

STARTING AT: $4.51

A bold, high-contrast trim board for picture-framing decks and stairs. Built with Surestone® technology for next-gen durability and a clean, designer finish.

Overview

Deckorators Dark Slate 1×6 Picture Frame Board
The Deckorators Dark Slate 1×6 Picture Frame Board adds a clean, bold edge to your deck. It creates sharp borders and a rich contrast that helps the deck design look finished. In addition, the dark slate color pairs well with lighter Deckorators colors like Costa, Tundra, and Khaya.

Strong composite with stable performance
This board uses Deckorators Surestone mineral-based composite. Because of that, it stays strong and stable in many climates. It also has very low movement in heat or cold. As a result, it works well in both hot summers and cooler seasons.

Natural look with better grip
The vertical wood-grain texture adds traction underfoot. At the same time, it gives the look of high-end wood flooring. So you get a premium style with a more steady, low-care material.

Sizing and best uses
The board is 5.5 inches wide and 7/8 inch thick. It comes in 21-foot lengths, which helps reduce seams. Therefore, it is a great choice for clean lines and smooth transitions.

Common uses

  • picture frame borders around the deck
  • stair treads and stair edges
  • clean transitions between deck areas
  • accent lines to break up large decks
  • edge details around posts and rails

Warranty coverage
Deckorators backs this board with strong warranty coverage. It includes a 50-year structural warranty. It also includes 25-year stain and fade protection. Because of that, you can build with confidence and keep the look for years.

IPE DECKING LOS ANGELES REVIEW

I started buying IPE from Brazilian Lumber over one year ago before the vendor opened the California location (i.e. where I am located). There were some issues related to the lumber (IPE), BUT the vendor made sure that all was taken care of and that I was happy. I mentioned “the issues” not to say that they product is bad, but rather to stressed out that the vendor provides superb service. No matter what you do, the problems may happen. Important is how such situations are handled. I was working with Luis, great guy to work with. I recommend this vendor.

I upgraded my backyard with Ipe deck tiles for my patio. It was definitely an investment, but it’s turned out to be worth every penny. The tiles were easy to install and the finished product is not only beautiful, but also incredibly durable and functional. I would highly recommend Ipe deck tiles to anyone looking to create a beautiful and long-lasting outdoor space.

Such a great find! I needed my side gate upgraded and Ed Shubin was so helpful in getting me just the right piece of lumber. He knew exactly what was needed according to my specifications! The lumber was top notch and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you Ed!

Roy and team have been amazing! We got high quality ipe and cumaru wood from them for our backyard fence and deck. The wood is just phenomenal. The team is also extremely professional – always responding to our questions, providing helpful tips, and finding ways to make our project work within budget and schedule. Highly, highly recommend!

The best place to get Brazilian hardwood that I\’ve found anywhere in California or online. The customer service is very good, the reps are attentive to you upon arrival and they are very knowledgeable. The quality of wood is superb and the pricing is cheaper than I can find anywhere else.
