NOT A SINGLE TREE FELLED

Eva-Last® is internationally recognised for our commitment to the environment. You can rest assure that no trees were felled to

produce any of our products. Our products do not require toxic chemicals and preservatives normally used for the treatment of

natural timber.

We’re proud of the work we do to promote environmental sustainability, and invite you to choose timber alternatives that curb

deforestation and are gentler on the Earth.

Registered product of the Green Building Council of South Africa

When it comes to going green, we believe that how we manufacture is just as

important as what we manufacture. That is why we’ve traded in fossil fuels for

renewable energy whenever possible.

Pollution free, no greenhouse gases emitted.

RENEWABLE RESOURCES & RENEWABLE ENERGY.

Eva-Last® products pair recycled raw polymer ingredients with bamboo for a stronger, more sustainable composite. In order to help

reduce what goes into our landfills, we make use of recycled plastic to produce our composite products. Instead of using natural

timber fibres, we make use of bamboo. Bamboo rejuvenates over 30 times faster than traditional hardwoods and it releases 35% more

oxygen into our air.

40% RECYCLED HDPE PLASTIC

Our products are now manufactured using solar power. We are fully committed

to bringing you a product that’s holistically eco-conscious.

RESULTS IN EVA-LAST® COMPOSITE PRODUCTS

Why bamboo instead of timber?

SUSTAINABLE - Bamboo is a type of grass that grows and regenerates extremely quickly, with most species reaching adulthood

within 3 – 5 years. This amazing plant is one of the most environmentally friendly resources on the planet and requires no

pesticides or chemical fertilizers to grow. Bamboo keeps our soil stronger, our air cleaner and our environment healthier.

STRONG - Bamboo must be one of the most underrated materials on the planet when it comes to strength. It has a greater tensile

strength (resistance to being pulled apart) than steel, and can withstand compression better than concrete. These properties

make for an ultra strong end product and allow Eva-Last® to offer an industry leading guarantee on our decking.

SAFE - Bamboo is a super clean and safe material, and the perfect additive for composite decking. Bamboo naturally repels

odor and is hypoallergenic when compared to timber. Bamboo as a fibre is actually certified by most food agencies as safe to eat.

You can rest assured that Eva-Last® decking will be the cleanest, safest surface for you and your family.

FSC© - Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification ensures that products come from responsibly managed forests that

provide environmental, social and economic benefits. The diverse fauna and flora who share our forests are given the time and

space to recover from our use of their environments.

HOW DO WE CLEAR WASTE PLASTIC THAT IS

KILLING OUR PLANET? Reduce, reuse and recycleEva-Last® promotes eco-conscious practices in all areas of business and life. Be responsible: reduce, reuse, recycle.

Eva-Last® starts with a unique

combination of bamboo fibres and

recycled high density polyethylene

to create the ideal mixture.

Intense heat and pressure are applied

to form a large, continuous block of

composite material.

Each colour is artistically blended

as the composite is moulded into its

final shape.

The dual-surfaced board is then

embossed with two distinct grain

patterns.

In the final stage, the co-extruded

composite is cooled and then cut

to length.

HOW IT’S MADE

A PLASTIC EPIDEMICOur world faces one of its greatest threats from our short-sighted

consumption of single use plastics. Plastic is now the most common

form of marine debris. Plastic enters the oceans from a number of

different land and ocean-based sources and imperils all aspects of

marine life. Once in the water, plastic never fully biodegrades.

In 2019 Eva-Last® produced enough composite products to save the

equivalent of 500 million plastic bottles, recycling two tons of HDPE

results in saving approximately 0.73 tons of carbon dioxide - the

same as travelling 4 000km in a car.

Page 6 of 76

We produce four premium lines of bamboo composite technologies. Each technology offers its own unique

benefits. Apex® is our premium range, with unmatched slip resistance and fire rating properties. Infinity®

is a highly durable, stain resistant range with protective capping. This capping allows for realistic timber-

like embossed surfaces, but without the need for the sanding and sealing required by natural timber. The

Eclipse™ range is made up of two layers of our bamboo composite material. This allows us to add more

colour and UV stabilizers into the outer layer for more vibrant colours. Eva-tech® is our original and

most economical composite with a long-standing track record of high performance. All these ranges are

protected against rotting, splintering or wrapping even in the harshest of weather conditions.

Extending your outdoor living space with a deck can be an exciting venture. The key to a durable and long-lasting deck lies in the

attention and care given to assembling its substructure.

Every deck installation’s climatic environment will differ. Framing correctly from the beginning means your deck will be easier to build

and last longer. Eva-Last® offers a range of substructure solutions to fit every environment.

COMPOSITE JOIST

Line spacers Rubber spacers

Fasteners 8 Stainless steel anchor / m2(Uses Stainless / nylon nail)

The composite joist support system offers a simple and cost-

effective substructure solution for use over existing slabs such as

screed or tile flooring, paving and patios. Compared to standard

deck installations, it is quick to install, requiring no posts or any

supporting structure. These joists have the added bonus of being

highly durable, as they are made of foamed plastic composite. The

joist is placed atop a rubber support pad (to allow for drainage)

and then anchored into the existing structure. Eva-Last® composite

decking profiles are subsequently installed atop this. This can be

utilised as either a flooring or cladding application. It is advisable to

use the Titan support pedestals use stop waterproofing membranes

and not the composite joist system.

GALVANISED STEEL

Bearer and joist specifications

The G-struct deck framing system is a galvanised steel substructure solution. G-struct sections are manufactured from industrial grade pre-galvanised

coil, providing a long-term support system. Galvanised steel is available in several coating thicknesses that have a direct impact on the life of a frame

before installation takes place. Maintenance schedules on the initial coating with additional coating combinations such as primer coats, intermediate

coats and finish coats can extend the life of a steel frame by several years.

We recommend using galvanised steel substructure in environmental conditions up to and including C3 corrosion categories.

TIMBER STRUCTURE

It is prudent to utilise a substructure system that matches the lifespan of your deck. When selecting timber be sure to consider the

intended application and the local building codes. Eva-Last® offers several timber solutions based on the requirements of the deck.

Standard H3 level pine is available for the continental highveld climate. H4 to H6 level pine which is available for alternative applications

such as Mediterranean climates and coastal areas. H3 level pine beams and H4 level gum poles are regularly stocked.

TITAN SUPPORT SYSTEM

TITAN pedestals are height-adjustable support systems that can allow for slope

corrections. There are a variety of applications for TITAN pedestals including the

support of decking, paving blocks, water features, drainage gratings, roofing

and flooring. The wide base design prevents damage to waterproof membranes

placed below the support system.
