Create your own one-of-a-kind deck surface by adding a deck inlay or border accent. To add a personal touch of flair, Latitudes composite decking consider incorporating a unique deck design that uses multiple colors of composite lumber decking along with different surface patterns (woodgrain, brushed or smooth). Most composite wood manufacturers offer dual-sided boards that feature two distinct finishes on one plank. Whether you're looking to incorporate a sophisticated design, like a compass rose, or simply adding a contrasting border color or deck surface, composite wood decking is one of the most versatile deck building materials available. What's more, most composite deck material can be cut and shaped like typical wood for decking.

Im interested in inlay work but would like to know how to do it and what material to use. Id like to run some curves and create some flowers in the top of my deck.
