Terraces that work as hard as Philipsburg does
On cruise days, a Great Bay terrace serves more covers before lunch than most terraces see in a week. Hospitality here needs outdoor floors and shade that take the traffic, the salt and the sun — daily.

Hospitality-grade, in the most demanding spot on the island
Between the Boardwalk, Front Street and the harbour, Philipsburg's terraces live a hard life: thousands of footfalls, dragged chairs, spilled drinks, nightly wash-downs, and salt air off Great Bay all year round. Timber splinters and greys under that regime; tiles crack and their grout blackens.
Aluminium decking takes the same regime without flinching — it does not rust, cannot rot, and its powder-coated surface withstands daily cleaning. For a business, the arithmetic is simple: no closing days for refinishing.

Shade that serves covers
A bioclimatic pergola turns exposed seating into bookable seating. Louvres open for the breeze, angle against the afternoon sun over the bay, and close in seconds when a shower crosses — service continues.
- Bioclimatic pergolas wind-certified 160–180 km/h (Classic) or 180–220 km/h (Premium) — the certified figure is stated on the quote
- Integrated LED lighting from 55 € per linear metre (reference) to keep terraces serving after dark
- Anti-slip decking that stands up to nightly wash-downs, with stainless steel fixings throughout
- Residential projects up the hill in Point Blanche quoted with the same rate card
How pricing works
One final figure, in writing
Our rate card is the same across the Caribbean: decking 450–550 € per m² installed, pergola structures 550–650 € per m², railings from 255 € per linear metre — as French West Indies reference prices. Because Sint Maarten sits outside the French legal and tax framework, shipping, customs clearance and any local taxes are additional and itemised on your quote, and the warranty terms applying to your project are stated in writing before you commit.
We are a French West Indies manufacturer — workshops in Saint-François (Guadeloupe) and Les Trois-Îlets (Martinique) — not a local Sint Maarten office, and we would rather say so plainly. What you get is made-to-measure manufacturing, installation, and every cost on paper before you decide.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can a terrace stay open during installation?
We plan around your service where possible — phased laying, off-hours work — and we tell you honestly on the quote what disruption to expect. Manufacturing lead times run 7 to 45 days, plus shipping, all stated in writing.
Does a pergola really handle the wind on Great Bay?
Our ranges are wind-certified at 160–180 km/h (Classic) and 180–220 km/h (Premium). The right range depends on your site's exposure, which we assess during the survey — and the certified figure for your configuration is written on your quote, not promised verbally.
How are commercial projects priced?
Same transparent rate card as residential — decking 450–550 €/m² installed as a French West Indies reference, pergola structure 550–650 €/m² — with freight, customs and local taxes itemised for Sint Maarten, and volume quoted case by case.
