Ekodeck Screening is made from FSC Certified plantation bamboo and recycled plastic bottles. As one of the fastest growing plants in the world, bamboo is a sustainable alternative to established tree plantations. And recycling plastic bottles destined for landfill, further reduces the environmental impact.

WEATHER RESISTANT Ekodeck Screening is equipped with Anti-UV technology to combat fading in sunlight. It will not grey-out like timber does when left untreated by oiling, staining or painting.
ROT, DECAY AND TERMITE RESISTANT Timber screening boards often require separate treatments to combat mould and termite damage. Ekodeck Screening resists insect degradation and moisture penetration naturally, helping avoid structural damage.
NATURAL LOOK Many composite products can end up looking like plastic over time. However, Ekodeck Screening has been carefully engineered, designed and finished to look and feel like natural timber even after it’s fully weathered.
EASY INSTALLATION Installing Ekodeck Screening is easy and doesn’t require any special tools. Simply pre-drill and screw as you would with regular hardwood screening. We also highly recommend countersinking. And be sure to gap it properly to allow it to expand and contract naturally.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW: • Allow 3-6 months to reach final weathered colour • Gap it properly to allow for expansion and contraction • May exhibit thermal deflection • Ideally installed over 3 spans To find out more, visit www.ekologix.com.au
