Eva-Last: Which Deck to Spec?
Composite decks are increasingly being specified over wooden ones for all the right reasons – aesthetics, eco-friendly sustainability and resource efficiency, low maintenance, easy installation, and enhanced durability. Composite decks tick all the right boxes.
Decking ranges and composite material technology have evolved to such an extent that selecting the right deck to match your specifications can be somewhat complex.
Beyond the obvious advantages of the 4C’ s – Colour, Climate, Cost over the long run, and Care – there are various other important technical factors to be considered that could affect how your chosen composite deck performs, and lasts, in the long-run.
Eva-Last offer various technologies of bamboo composite decking, including Apex Plus, Infinity, and Eva-Tech – each engineered with unique properties designed to suit particular specifications.
Each range has its own distinct characteristics, benefits and look and feel that can be differentiated by the latest cutting-edge composite engineering. Every range offers enhanced performance or appearance based on the newest developments in advanced material technology. These include, but are not limited to, improved product composition incorporating recycled content and innovative material combinations such as glass-fibre reinforced PVC, advanced additives such as fire-retardants, UV- or colour stabilisers providing practical enhancements to insect, stain, UV and water-resistance, and revolutionary new print technology and production techniques for exciting design versatility.
Here’ s a handy guide to differentiate between each Eva-Last decking range based on these unique‘ Tech Specs’:
Apex PLUS – Better performing, better looking composite The Apex PLUS range, takes the aesthetic benefits of Apex and adds glass-fibre reinforcement to the original bamboo foamed-PVC core, it allows for increased strength and span capabilities, without needing added structural support. The core’ s reinforcement also improves the expansion and contraction of the PVC, which is a key benefit in climates that experience extreme temperature fluctuations.
Infinity – For the toughest in durability and resilience As a capped bamboo composite decking option, Infinity offers a highly durable composite board ideal for high foot traffic areas. Available in a stunning array of realistic wood-looks, Infinity’ s enhanced durability is thanks to a sophisticated protective polymer capping.
Infinity provides a beautiful aesthetic with excellent wear characteristics and enhanced durability perfect for commercial applications with busy thoroughfares, or busy households, and is backed by an extensive warranty.
The co-extruded composition includes a high-performance core, while the resilient polymer capping protects against stains and scratches, degradation or decay from moisture or heat, and only requires the most basic care or cleaning for optimal longevity.
Eva-tech – For the cost-conscious Eva-tech, the original range from Eva- Last, is a cost-effective introduction into the comfort and convenience of composite decking. The grooved boards and matching facias make installation easier than ever, while the hardwearing surface requires minimal maintenance beyond an occasional sweep and clean. The uncapped bamboo composite range is now available in Dual Tone hues, recreating the elegance of wooden decking without the constant upkeep.
Eva-tech is ideal for outdoor patios, pool-sides, verandas, and entertainment areas. Its’ inorganic structure, made from renewable bamboo fibre combined with recycled plastic, provides a safe, non-slip surface that won’ t scratch or splinter, nor be subject to degradation like its natural counterpart by pests, mildew, mould or fading over time.
Eva-Last endeavour to develop and distribute the widest selection of advanced bamboo composite decking to make life and business, beautiful and hassle-free. And just as each project has its own requirements, merits, and challenges, it’ s essential to select the range that best matches the project spec.
