For our range of faux wood deck panels (that resembles wood), we use highly water resistant fiber cement boards. But that's not enough for us. In order to make them fully resistant to harsh south-east asian outdoor elements, we treat it with multiple layers of industrial strength protective epoxy/ polyurethane coating. Giving your top deck surface unlimited protection against moisture, uv, impact, scratches, foot traffic, mold, etc. As for the deck sub-structure, we use durable steel frames with industrial strength pigment coated surfaces or galvanized treatment. Unlike conventional wooden deck base, our internal deck frames are not subject to decomposition, rot or termites. Enjoy many years of low maintenance decking.
