Picture Frame Borders

One or more rows of composite boards run along the perimeter in a contrasting color, creating a clean visual edge that defines the space, a hallmark of deck inlays design in Louisville, KY. Included on every SunnySide build as standard.

  • Perimeter Definition: Contrasting boards separate the field boards from the fascia below.
  • End Cut Protection: Border boards cover the cut ends of field boards, protecting them from moisture.
  • Color Options: Full composite lineup, including Trex, Deckorators, TimberTech, Fiberon, MoistureShield, TruNorth, and Evalast.

Diagonal & Geometric Patterns

Geometric inlays, including herringbone and chevron, are built into a specific section using boards cut at precise angles, crafted by an experienced deck inlays designer in Louisville, KY, requiring additional joist blocking and exact cuts throughout.

  • Diagonal: Boards run at a consistent angle, creating a modern finish that makes the space appear larger.
  • Herringbone: Short boards set at 45-degree angles form repeating V-shapes, ideal as a centerpiece or zone anchor.
  • Chevron: Boards meet at a center point to form a continuous arrow pattern across the inlay area.

Defined Zone Inlays

A contrasting board color or pattern within a specific area separates functional zones on larger decks without requiring walls or level changes, a specialty of SunnySide as a deck inlays contractor in Louisville, KY.

  • Dining Zone: A contrasting inlay beneath the dining area visually separates it from the surrounding surface.
  • Lounge Anchor: A central inlay or color block beneath a seating arrangement creates a focal point.
  • Color Blocking: Multiple composite colors from SunnySide’s full manufacturer lineup mark zone boundaries without structural changes.

Deck Inlays FAQs

What is a deck inlay?
A decorative design built directly into the deck surface using contrasting board colors, angles, or layout techniques.
Yes. Every SunnySide deck includes a picture frame border as standard. Custom inlay patterns are available as an addition to any build.
Do inlays require additional substructure work?
Yes. Diagonal and geometric inlays require additional vertical blocking between joists to support the angled board spans. SunnySide accounts for this during the framing phase.
SunnySide installs inlays using the same manufacturer lines available on new builds: Trex, Deckorators, TimberTech, Fiberon, MoistureShield, TruNorth, and Evalast.
