DECKING
Eva-Last ’ s beautiful bamboo composites combine fast-growing bamboo with recycled plastic . Their range of composite decking , cladding , balusters and beams look like timber without contributing to deforestation . In addition , their recycled plastic content introduces superior wear characteristics and durability while simultaneously eliminating the mountains of plastic waste polluting our oceans and landfills .
Lightweight materials Buildings are going up and getting taller due to limited space . This has spurred demand for new strong , durable but lightweight materials other than steel or concrete .
Biophilic Design This integrates nature into architecture to enhance wellbeing and sustainability . By incorporating natural elements such as greenery and natural light , biophilic design fosters a sense of calm and connection to the environment that improves productivity and health . It ’ s evident in our preference for natural tones , textures and organic materials such as wood or stone , as well as our penchant for patterns of plantscapes and flora and the inclusion of landscaping and water features in our surroundings .
Eva-Last ’ s latest composite decking range Pioneer connects people to plants by recreating the natural tones and textures of endangered wood species using photorealistic digital print technology . The embossed , patterned surface texture provides the most natural-looking finish in composite products yet .
Eva-Last consistently introduces enhanced performance properties into their building products – the hollow aluminium core of Lifespan ’ s lightweight architectural beams , or the glass-fibre reinforced ( GFR ) core of Pioneer and Apex Plus decking , allowing for increased spans , are examples of ingenious innovations specifically developed for these types of applications .
Remodel or Renew High interest rates , labour costs and excessive material requirements , coupled with limited space and urban decay is driving the need to remodel or renew rather than build from scratch . Existing buildings such as abandoned factories , vacant offices or old outdoor structures are being given a facelift with attractive cladding , outdoor decks and patios and shady pergolas or rooftop lounges . These existing spaces are being repurposed into stylish accessory-dwelling units ( ADU ’ s ) suitable for guesthouses , multigenerational living ( such as garden flats ) or extended living areas .
Conclusion Since architecture and building leave a legacy for future generations , be sure to select a product that is built to last .
Eva-Last ’ s extensive range of bamboo composite products are specifically designed to enhance the environment while minimising any negative impacts . Engineered to outperform traditional building materials , the collection boasts attractive low maintenance benefits combined with sterling sustainability credentials .
