LUXURY BAMBOO COMPOSITE DECKING Leaders in sustainable composite decking material technologies
WHAT IS COMPOSITE DECKING? The hassle-free alternative to wood decking
We all love the look of wood decking, but not its drawbacks. Quality composite decking offers you the beauty of timber decking, but in a hassle-free, durable option that’s longer lasting, gentler on the environment, and virtually maintenance free. Cutting-edge engineering is bringing even greater structural advancements and lifestyle benefits to composite decking, and thoughtful detail to aesthetics now gives composite an even more natural appearance in a greater range of colours and textures. The international popularity of composite stands as testament to its functionality and liveability. Say goodbye to the drawbacks of wood decking.
Wood requires on-going, time con- suming, and costly maintenance and may need environmentally-harmful stains, sealants, and chemicals for its preservation.
Wood may rot, warp, twist and splinter over time, creating a surface that is unsafe and unkind to bare feet.
Insects and termites feed and burrow into wood, which can compromise the integrity of your deck.
Wood fades over time and is often prone to staining, scratching, and marks.
Felling trees to make wood decking contributes to deforestation and the destruction of our precious ecosystems.
COMPOSITE vs WOOD
Use the chart below for a direct comparison of key features to consider when choosing the right material for your deck
COMPOSITE DECKING
WOOD DECKING
Embodies the look, textures, nuances, & hues found in natural timber
Beautiful shades and grains
AESTHETICS
On-going, costly, time consuming maintenance like staining, sealing, & sanding required for most wood upkeep Hard woods offer greater durability than soft woods at a heftier price point; all wood is susceptible to warping, twisting, splitting, & splintering
Long-lasting integrity, with built-in resistance to cracking, warping, twisting, and splintering
DURABILITY
Only the occasional cleaning is necessary
MAINTENANCE
Prone to moisture-related issues such as rotting, mildew, or mould
Highly resistant to moisture
MOISTURE
Colour protection maintains inherent colour for the entire lifespan of the board
Colour fades substantially over time
UV FADE
Easily cut and shaped, but difficult to bend for custom curved designs
WORKABILITY
Easily cut, shaped, and even bent for custom curved designs
TYPES OF COMPOSITE
Composite materials & raw ingredients
Composite comes in different varieties, styles, and qualities. Before purchasing composite, familiarise yourself with your options in order to choose the best material for your job.
Wood composite
Bamboo composite
PVC composite
Wood composite, often called Wood-Plastic composite or WPC, combines wood fibres with plastic particles for a hardier alternative to traditional decking. Consider the type of plastic used in a WPC as well as whether it is virgin or recycled to evaluate the overall carbon footprint of your decking.
Bamboo composite is the top-tier composite option thanks to the extreme resiliency, durability, lighter weight, and environmental sustainability benefits of bamboo.
PVC composite is a very lightweight, high performing alternative to wood, these products offer a longer lifespan but shorter span capability when compared to natural timber.
TYPES OF COMPOSITE
Composite capping & shape
Composite comes in different shapes, styles, and qualities. Before purchasing a composite, familiarise yourself with your options in order to choose the best composite material for your job.
Capped vs uncapped
Hollow, arched, and solid boards
Capped
Uncapped
Hollow
Arched
Solid
Capping offers a protective outer layer for composite boards, extending their lifespan, and durability, and heightening their resistance to scratching, staining, and weathering. Capped, or co-extruded, composite is high quality and performs better over time than the more economical uncapped composite, sometimes called first-generation or mono-extruded composite.
Composite boards are designed in several styles. Hollow boards use less material, making them lighter weight and easier to transport. However, their hollow chambers must be carefully covered by trim or fascia boards to keep out moisture and debris. Solid boards are heavier and hardier, with greater span capabilities and less installa- tion considerations than hollow boards, and a longer lifespan.

Made from recycled & sustainable materials
Zero waste in the production
No harmful chemicals needed
Sustainable manufacturing practices
BAMBOO WASTES LESS & PROVIDES MORE
Eva-Last® is a leader in bamboo composite production and innovation. Bamboo is one of Mother Nature’s best kept secrets. It can grow up to 50 times faster than timber and releases 35 percent more oxygen into our air than most hardwood trees. It can be made into composite with only 2 percent wastage (compared to over 80 percent wastage with timber), and is naturally antibacterial. Eva-Last® uses bamboo to create composite that is better performing and better for the earth.
USE OF RECYCLED PLASTIC
Eva-Last® is committed to using only recycled plastics instead of virgin plastics. In 2020 alone that added up to over 26 000 tons of plastic reused instead of being dumped into landfills. Recycling one ton of plastic results in carbon dioxide savings of approximately 0.73 tons – the same as travelling 4000 km in a car.
SOLAR POWERED EXTRUSION LINES
Traditional manufacturing is an energy-intensive endeavour. That’s why Eva-Last® has switched to manufacturing with solar power, and is saving 2000 tons in CO2 every single day.
HOW IT’S MADE
1
2
3
4 5
Eva-Last ® starts with a unique combination of bamboo fibre and recycled plastic pellets to create the ideal mixture.
Intense heat and pressure are applied to form a large, con- tinuous block of composite material.
Each colour is artistically blended as the composite is moulded into its final shape.
The board is then embossed with a distinct grain pattern (or two colour tones for dual- surfaced boards).
In the final stage, the co-extruded composite is cooled and then cut to length.
Note: Each Eva-Last® decking technology uses its own unique methods and manufacturing techniques in its creation. The process above details the general outline and is not specific to any one brand.
THE EVA-LAST® RANGE Eva-Last® offers three unique decking technologies, each with their own distinct characteristics, benefits, look, and feel. Discover which composite range is right for you.
