Here at The Deck Supply, form is just as important as function. So as we discuss your build, our dexperts blend the best of modern design elements with functional benefits like low maintenance, safety, and daily demands. To provide sure footing in typically slippery environments, we recommend slip-resistant composite decking.

Where You’ll Find Slip-Resistant Composite Decking
While these boards are commonly used on decks, they can also be useful in many other areas throughout your home. From your front door to commercial buildings, we recommend composite deck boards for a variety of reasons. Here’s where you may find our slip-resistant solutions and why they’re so popular!
Porches
In our neck of the woods, ice can build up on porches in the winter, and slips are all too common after a spring rain. To avoid unfortunate falls and rigorous maintenance, homeowners are turning to slip-resistant composite decking. Just like a backyard deck, these boards provide sure footing for risers and boards throughout your porch.
Balconies
In any elevated outdoor areas, sturdy railing is just as important as the boards under your feet! For safer balconies, homeowners turn to slip-resistant boards to enjoy elevated outdoor living year round. From businesses on Main Street to homes on your street, there are many reasons builders choose to install safe decking and railing from The Deck Supply.
Ramps
Most public structures require slip-resistant surfaces on ramps to comply with ADA requirements. To stay in compliance, we recommend composite boards with deep grains for a natural look and safe function. With options to suit almost every budget and style, these boards are a great fit for businesses, public offices, and accessibility ramps for the home.
Pools
Decks around pools are magnets for slip-and-falls. Wet feet and smooth surfaces are a recipe for disaster. To prevent these unfortunate mishaps, we recommend slip-resistant composite decking. Since most people will be walking with bare feet, we also suggest installing each board with hidden fasteners to limit any scrapes or cuts.
