Ekodeck+’s unique construction requires no maintenance when it comes to oiling and painting. Those costly and tedious tasks become chores of the past, saving you both time and money.
Unlike timber decking, Ekodeck+ requires no special treatments to combat mould and termite damage. The plastic deters termites, and as Ekodeck+ absorbs less water than timber, it is less likely to suffer from the effects of mould and mildew. Should any surface mould and mildew appear, it is easily washed away.
Warping and splintering can begin with traditional timber decks after just a few years in Australian weather. Ekodeck+ delays this weathering process, making it less likely to splinter, cup or warp. Ekodeck+ is also equipped with Anti-UV technology to combat fading in sunlight.
Splinters, warped boards and popped nails are common problems associated with traditional timber decks. Ekodeck+ eliminates these safety hazards, welcoming bare feet. Ekodeck+ is also non-toxic.
Many composite decking products still look like plastic. Ekodeck+ has been carefully engineered, designed and finished to look and feel like natural timber.
