DECKING
MAINTENANCE Once you ’ ve done your installation , it ’ s important to keep the area clean and tidy with minimal fuss and expense . This is where the quality of your product will be most evident – cutting costs at the outset may be costly in the long run with expensive maintenance and upkeep requirements , or even worse replacement . To protect the intrinsic value of your investment , consider the ongoing maintenance requirements of your proposed deck , walkway , pergola or cladding . This is where engineered composite materials like Eva-Last outperform their natural counterparts , needing only a simple wipe or wash to remove any excess dirt or debris , and their very structure resists degradation or infestation by insects .
are designed to outlast even the toughest timbers .
SAFETY & SECURITY Another seemingly obvious consideration , the safety and security of your property can enhance or detract from its perceived value . Are there any glaring gaps in your home ’ s safety measures such as rickety rails , uneven steps or a rotten deck or substructure ? What about the structure and securing of your pergola ’ s overhead beams ? When you consider upgrading these types of areas , it ’ s not just about choosing products with the right aesthetic . It ’ s about ensuring the products have a reputation of reliability , testing and compliance which meets required building codes and warranties that give you peace-ofmind that this is an investment into your property .
FASHIONABLE FINISHES AND COLOURS Cover up imperfections and add that WOW factor to your property ’ s façade or exterior walls with convenient , durable and beautiful VistaClad cladding from Eva-Last .
You ’ ll instantly update the face of the building , and it won ’ t scratch , fade or chip and peel like your usual annual paint job ! How about an attractive soffit to cover up an ugly ceiling ? VistaClad ’ s interlocking cladding boards simply fasten onto a hidden clip strip for a seamless , secure skin suitable for any wall or ceiling , even curved ones .
In addition to the desired aesthetic appeal , the orientation or aspect of your property also influences your choice of colour – is it facing the sun or do you need to maximise light and spaciousness ? Do you need to consider heat underfoot or temperature control ? Lighter shades are better suited to hotter climates and darker shades tend to absorb more heat . Enjoy the good looks of wood in places you never thought possible without the worries of rotting in the rain , or fading in the sun .
