General Questions
Eva-Last® composite is a range of eco-friendly, bamboo plastic composite (BPC) building products; comprised of decking, cladding, screening, railing and pergola product lines. Eva-Last® composite is designed for simple installation and a low-maintenance lifestyle. It offers an alternative to timber in all cases and is gentle on the Earth, long-lasting, and just plain beautiful.
Eva-Last® composite was tested and the formula was scientifically developed through extensive testing under extreme weather conditions in and around South Africa. It is now manufactured under license in China and is distributed to over 35 countries around the globe. We take great pride in the fact that our manufacturing is done using 100% solar power. We are raising the bar on how to manufacture sustainably, and proving that quality products can be made in harmony with the Earth.
Eva-Last® composite does the job of traditional timber building products, only it does it better. It is significantly lower maintenance than timber decking, and requires no staining, sanding, or sealing. It’s also equipped with built-in features that make it safer and longer lasting, with leading slip, stain, splinter, and crack resistance; colour protection; mould, mildew, and moisture resistance; and anti-microbial properties.
Eva-Last® composite is also significantly more eco-friendly than wood decking. It’s made of recycled and renewable materials, requires no trees to be felled, manufactured with solar power, and requires no harmful chemicals for treatment.
Eva-Last® composite lasts longer, performs better, and is safer, cleaner, and more sustainable than wood. And its expansive range of colours and textures mean you can still enjoy the look of timber decking without the drawbacks.
Eva-Last® composite is a long-term investment. Over time it proves its value and works out to be more cost effective than wood decking.
While the initial purchase price of Eva-Last® composite may be higher than standard timber decking, like pine, Eva-Last® composite installs faster, does not require additional treatments or specialised cleaning products, lasts longer, and is stain, fade, rot, warp, crack, splinter, and moisture resistant, meaning you can avoid the costs of premature replacement. Its industry-leading warranty stands testament to the long-term durability of Eva-Last® composite, and its long-term savings.

Other than the Eva-Last® composite joist and LifeSpanTM, Eva-Last® composite is specially engineered to function as decking, cladding, screening or railing, rather than structural material. That’s because we’re focused on doing things thoroughly, and so we’ve dedicated ourselves to continuing to improve composite for its specific purpose, rather than for substructure.
We do, however, design our composite decking to work with structural material of your choice. We offer fasteners which make installation more efficient and long-lasting for both wood and metal substructures. We provide in-depth installation guidelines and are the leaders in composite expertise.
The array of colours and finishes available in our complete Eva-Last® composite catalogue covers nearly every hue and shade found in natural timber. Each Eva-Last® composite product range offers its own unique set of textures, finishes, and colours to suit your style. We suggest first choosing the product line which appeals to you, and then consider which of its many available colours will best complement your outdoor space. To view the Eva-Last® colour range visit our colour visualizer.
Yes, all Eva-Last® decks will have gaps between deck boards. The decking clips used in installation with grooved boards will act as spacers, automatically creating a standard 5 mm gap between your profiles. For non-grooved (or square edge) boards, use spacers to create a consistent 5 mm gap. This allows for dirt and debris to fall between the deck boards and prevents any build-up of debris that could cause issues down the line.
The weight of Eva-Last® composite varies with the specific product you choose. Our Apex® and I-SeriesTM (available in Infinity® and Eva-tech®) product ranges are among the most lightweight composite products available, but offer superior performance and strength thanks to their innovative design. Please consult the specific product guide you are considering for exact weight and span specifications.
