Our History
DeckRite and its subsidiaries have supplied decking membrane and similar products to the North American construction industry since the mid 1970’s. DeckRite LLC (headquartered in North Little Rock, Arkansas, USA) supplied materials to one of the most recognizable vinyl decking distributors in Western Canada, with million and millions of square feet of product installed, protecting decks patios, balconies and exterior walkways throughout North America.
In 2012 DeckRite Canada Sundecks Ltd. was created to better serve our strong Canadian decking contractors. In a relatively short time, DeckRite Canada has become a recognized leader in the decking industry for our high quality products, outstanding customer service and solid business leadership.

Our goal is to provide the highest possible quality professional construction products, combined with superior customer service, in an atmosphere of mutual support, teamwork and uncompromising standards.
