How to use
Voyage (flagship, 50-yr structural, 24″ OC eligible) is the default. Compare on your deck against Vault (mid-tier, also 24″ OC eligible, narrower palette) or Trailhead (value entry, 16″ OC only, 25-yr warranty). The 3-line auto-compare shows the Voyage premium for every choice.
Six colors — Costa (warm brown CoolTech), Mesa (mid-brown w/ deep grain), Tudor (darkest), Driftwood (cool weathered), Sandstone (lightest, coolest), Carbonized (smoky charcoal w/ CoolTech). All carry the 50-yr structural + 25-yr fade & stain warranty.
Length × width in feet. Pattern: parallel (7% waste, 1.0× labor), picture-frame (12%, 1.18×), diagonal 45° (15%, 1.12×). Calculator quantizes board count using Voyage's stocked 12/16/20 ft.
HiddenLink hidden-clip is the default — 175 clips/box, $145/box, ~70 sqft coverage at 16″ joist OC. ScrewLock (50 plugs/pack, $42) is the face-screw alternative.
Deckorators ALX Contemporary Rail (aluminum, $165/lf installed — slim sightline) or Heritage Composite Rail ($95/lf — color-matched to Voyage) or Contemporary Composite Kit ($60/lf — value tier).
Drink-Rail Top ($42/lf top-mount shelf) and Deckorators Lighting (post-cap + riser LED kit + 100W transformer + low-voltage wiring) are toggles.

Three honest paths. Composite wins the 25-year math for most homeowners, wood wins on upfront cost, and PVC is unbeatable around water. Each card below answers in one glance — recalculate the bill of materials by clicking a brand in the picker above.
How we calculate
The Deckorators Voyage Calculator is the flagship-line deep-cut for Deckorators' Voyage — the mineral-based composite that breaks the rules other composites have to follow. Three engineering distinctives: (1) Voyage is rated for 24″ joist on-center under the DCA-6 1.5× span exception (every other composite is capped at 16″ OC); (2) Voyage's mineral core is moisture-impervious — it doesn't absorb water, swell, or rot; (3) Voyage's surface runs ~35°F cooler than wood-fiber composite at the same color tone. Voyage is also the only composite available in three board widths (3.5″ / 5.5″ / 7.25″) for designer multi-width decks. Six colors — Costa, Mesa, Tudor, Driftwood, Sandstone, Carbonized — and a 50-yr structural warranty. The calc focuses on Voyage with Vault and Trailhead as comparison anchors. 2026-Q1 retail.
Per-LF retail prices reflect 2026-Q1 Deckorators Voyage pricing at Lowe's Pro + Deckorators Pro dealer channel. HiddenLink + ScrewLock specs from Deckorators install manuals. 24″ joist OC eligibility per ICC-ES evaluation report + AWC DCA-6 mineral-composite exception. 35°F cooler claim from independent solar-reflectance testing.
Rows = ceil(width × 12 ÷ (5.5 + 0.125)) — Voyage standard face is 5.5″ with 1/8″ install gap. Waste % is pattern-driven.
Voyage is rated for 24″ joist on-center under the DCA-6 mineral-composite exception. On a 16-ft deck that's 9 joists (24″ OC) vs 13 joists (16″ OC) — saves 4 joists worth of lumber + labor on framing. Other composites can't use this savings.
Each HiddenLink box ships 175 clips and covers ~70 sqft at 16″ joist OC. Total clips = boards × (length × 12 ÷ 16 + 1). At 24″ OC the clip count drops proportionally.
Voyage's mineral-core mass + light color absorption gives it a ~35°F cooler surface temperature vs wood-fiber composite at the same color. Particularly valuable for barefoot decks in hot climates (Phoenix, Las Vegas, Dallas).
Composite installs are 25% slower than face-screwed PT (clip-system sequencing). Pattern + shape multipliers compound.
