ENHANCING COMMERCIAL SPACES WITH COMPOSITE

There’ s nothing quite like a fresh new look to spruce up a business and attract new faces. And we’ re not just talking about customers either.
A few simple updates in line with the modern way we live, work and play, is a compelling way to attract new tenants or customers, and make a welcoming space for employees, ensuring an all-round healthy, happy environment to do business.
Since environmental awareness, e-commerce and hybrid work models have changed the way we go about our business, it’ s critical to ensure that your commercial space is up-to-date, comfortable, convenient and inviting.
Eva-Last’ s extensive range of composite decking, cladding, railing, and fencing have transformed malls, office spaces, hospitality and other recreational buildings into beautiful, inspiring places, perfectly aligned with the changing dynamics of modern society.
Commercial spaces, whether corporate offices, hospitality, entertainment venues, or retail outlets, provide unique opportunities to foster collaboration, elevate customer experiences, and drive overall business success.
“ Transform your commercial design projects into a refreshed, modernised environment that delivers a lasting impression and exceptional performance over time, by incorporating the latest composite technologies, that give the aesthetic of natural timber but without the maintenance and upkeep requirements” says Shelley Galliver, VP Marketing & Brand at Eva-Last.
A FRESH FAÇADE: A WARM WELCOME
A fresh façade gives a retrofitted building an instant facelift without extensive renovations. Using Revive castellated cladding – the wonderful timber tones and textures add a warm, welcoming and modern aesthetic to your building’ s exterior, providing an attractive, durable and weatherproof finish that’ s as easy to maintain as it is to install.
Extra attention should be given to the entrance to make an impactful first impression – even building a platform entrance using composite decking, can“ set the stage” of what’ s to come inside.
SUSTAINABILITY AND ECO-FRIENDLY DESIGN
Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword but a key driver in commercial building design. Property owners, tenants and even consumers looking to reduce their carbon footprint and operating costs through greener products that improve building performance now have options. Think energyefficient building materials made with recycled content or renewable resources, solar-energy, greywater and rainwater harvesting systems that save power and water, to living walls, green roofs and biophilic design that enhance indoor air quality, promoting health and well-being.
Eva-Last’ s innovative composite materials are made from easily replenishable bamboo fibres combined with recycled plastic. In addition to reducing the embedded carbon footprint of the raw material itself, these materials are also produced using solar power in the manufacturing process, further reducing their environmental impact.
AESTHETICS AND AMBIENCE
The look and feel of a space are said to directly affect mood, perception and productivity.
Creating an appealing commercial space is not just good for business, it’ s good for the environment and good for the community, too. By upgrading your designs with Eva-Last composite building materials, you’ ll create a sustainable, low-maintenance environment that fosters success and provides a welcoming space for years to come.
