Envirodeck

Company Profile

Envirodeck products utilise an innovative composite material that captures the natural beauty of wood without the problems normally associated with wooden decking.

 

Envirodeck products are manufactured from environmentally friendly resources and are designed with elegance in mind. The products are offered in a number of profiles, colours and styles aimed at enhancing the design aesthetic of your property.

 

Envirodeck carries a wide range of extremely durable products ranging from engineering decking, cladding, tiles and fascia boards to railing products. Decking is a growing design trend and these products have a contemporary ribbed design on one side with a smooth wood grain finish on the other side of the board. This allows you to choose your preferred design as either side can be used. The board is supplied with hidden clips and screws which provide a clean, smooth looking finish to your deck. The easy DIY installation makes use of an integrated concealed clip system and permits the countersinking of screws without distortion so that you can produce a flawless deck with ease.

 

The decks are low maintenance and can be easily cleaned with soap and water or with Clean Green for stubborn stains. The water resistance of the products will prevent rotting. The textured surface of the boards prevents slipping. You can enjoy the realistic looking textures and natural colour variations of wood without the accompanying issues as the products do not attract the problem insects that wood does. The products are both stain and mould resistant and require no sanding or sealing, they have also been laboratory tested for weather conditions and have proven to be incredibly long lasting.

 

Envirodeck’s products are manufactured from 65% reclaimed wood flower from the byproduct of the timber industry. Envirodeck has chosen to support the philosophy of sustainable architecture by minimizing the environmental impact of development, by enhancing efficiency and moderation in the use of raw materials. The composite nature of Envirodeck products also means that no harmful sealants or treatments are required in the maintenance lifecycle. No toxic chemicals are required to maintain Envirodeck’s natural beauty and longevity.

 

Over the next 50 years, the effective use of eco-friendly building products and replanting of trees will absorb up to 20% of man-made carbon emissions, providing long term solutions to protecting our fragile eco-systems. Envirodeck’s product range is far more sustainable than traditional harvested timber and directly focuses on green buildings and sustainable architecture. Envirodeck is considered an eco-friendly product as it has a lesser or reduced effect on human health and the environment compared to competing products that serve the same purpose.

 

Envirodeck is an active member of the Green Building Council of South Africa which enables it to take an active stance in recognizing the impacts of global warming by striving to be an environmentally sustainable supplier to the building industry. This is achieved by addressing issues such as resource depletion and environmental degradation by actively moving away from energy intensive construction materials and focusing on materials that maximize the resources currently on hand without further damaging the environment.

 

Envirodeck products have a minimal ecological impact as they are made from a renewable source and make use of recycled content that is locally available. The durability of the products and their long life span mean that no extra resources will be used in maintaining or replacing them. Water is saved as rain forests are not required in the production of the material. Waste products are recycled so they do not end up in landfill sites, the products themselves are also completely recyclable.

 

The lightweight nature of the products enables efficient transportation to site and the manufacturing process does not produce harmful emissions and it is low impact and energy efficient. There is a minimal environmental impact on installation sites and no toxic chemicals are required to maintain the products.

 

Envirodeck Distributors has quoted on large scale projects including the Wilderness Views Boutique Hotel & Spa, Protea Hotels (Fire and Ice Cape Town, OR Tambo Johannesburg and Umhalanga Ridge Durban), Safari Hotel Namibia and many more.
