Creative Construction Using Composites
Eva-Last composites are an advanced building material engineered to outperform traditional materials such as wood in terms of maintenance , weight and durability .

However , natural wood is not the most durable building material for long term usage . Its sensitivity to extended exposure to the elements , specifically water and sun , and the dwindling supply of this precious natural resource , means constant treatment and a limited lifespan , ultimately necessitating replacement .
