TO DECK …. OR TO COMPOSITE DECK ? That is the question
Johannesburg , South Africa ( January 28 , 2025 ) – In today ’ s fast paced ever changing world , it ’ s no surprise that building materials such as decking , are also evolving and revolutionizing continuously . Wood decks are now deemed inferior to composite decks , thanks to innovative composite engineering that pushes the boundaries for better results . Benefits of composite now include enhanced and more realistic aesthetics , better resilience to the elements , kinder on the environment and even beneficial on the pocket over the long run .
But what exactly is composite and why is it better ? The definition of composite in the Oxford Dictionary is : “ Something made by putting together different parts or materials .” Composite decking ’ s definition is thus : “ A manufactured
product comprised of a mix of recycled plastics and organic fibers .” So these are man-made alternatives which outperform traditional wood .
When starting a new project for your outdoor area such as patios , breakaway areas , a garden pergola or even a garden pathways ; carefully weigh up your priorities or what ’ s important in the design and longevity of the space to ensure maximum satisfaction . As an example , wood may be more costeffective at purchase price and has a natural look , however , will require annual maintenance – sanding and varnishing and even then , has a limited lifespan . Composite on the other hand , requires little to no maintenance , is available in a broader variety of colors and is definitely more environmentally friendly .
When considering the environmentally friendly aspect , Eva-Last is a renowned global manufacturer of sustainable building materials , including composite deck boards . They manufacture their products using bamboo fibers and recycled plastic , that otherwise may have ended up in our landfills . Bamboo is of the grass family and grows incredibly
quickly , but still performs from a structural strength perspective , making it a more sustainable alternative to wood fibers used in other composites . Eva-Last also produces a range of other products including cladding , railing and fencing .
Eva-Last decking is the top choice for creating a fresh space , that is also sustainably designed , but it does not compromise on quality , aesthetic appeal or durability .
