The ecodeck range of decking is designed to provide a durable and long-lasting solution, while at the same time offering environmental advantages. The ecodeck decking range is constructed from a mix of timber fibres and recycled plastics. This combination of reclaimed materials significantly reduces the demand for raw wood and alleviates deforestation. The reclaimed timber fibres are derived from hardwood offcuts and sawdust, which diverts these waste products away from landfill and gives them a new purpose. The recycled plastics are sourced from post-industrial and consumer waste. The reclaimed timber and recycled plastics are blended with bonding agents and additives to improve the strength, durability and longevity of the product.
The result is a decking material that has been designed to perform and to look great on board superyachts. The decking is completely impermeable, meaning it is unable to support the growth of algae or other water-borne organisms and provides an excellent grip to prevent the build up of moisture. It is easy to clean and does not splinter or crack and has been proven to be extremely resistant to the effects of UV.
The reclaimed materials used in ecodeck are fully recyclable and are supplied with a lifetime warranty against manufacturer’s defects. It is compatible with a range of surface finishes including gravel, stone, soil, grass and can be used on slope inclines of up to 1 in 4. The permeable 40mm grid is compliant with Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) regulations.
Ekodeck boards are available in a range of beautiful colours to suit any environment or style. The Designer Series is BAL-29 rated and contains fire retardant additives which makes them suitable for use in areas where the risk of ignition or combustion is high. Ekodeck Classic is not BAL-29 rated but is still a good choice for Darwin, as it is made for Australia and is highly stain resistant.
