Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about building your dream stone deck.
What is Tanzite STONEDECKS made of?
Tanzite is a high-performance stone composite that offers the beauty of natural stone with the durability and lightweight properties required for elevated deck installations.
Can I install Tanzite over an existing wood frame?
Yes, Tanzite is specifically designed to be installed over standard 16-inch on-center wood joists, making it an ideal upgrade for old wood or composite decks.
Does the stone get hot in the direct sun?
Tanzite is engineered to be more heat-efficient than traditional outdoor surfaces. It stays cooler underfoot than most composite decking and dark natural stones.
How do I clean and maintain my stone deck?
Tanzite is virtually maintenance-free. It does not require sealing or staining; simply use a garden hose or a mild soap solution to wash away dirt and debris.

Is the surface slippery when wet?
No, Tanzite tiles feature a textured, slip-resistant surface that exceeds safety standards for both wet and dry conditions, making it perfect for pool surrounds.
