Next-Generation Decking and Cladding

Acetylated and Thermally Modified Woods

Acetylation changes wood at a cellular level, reducing water uptake for superb stability and honest, natural beauty. We’ve seen boardwalk planks stay true through coastal seasons. Curious about sourcing or finishes? Ask questions below and share your climate challenges.

Recycled Plastic and Mineral Composites

Wood–plastic and mineral-based composites resist rot, splintering, and fading, with cool-touch pigments and hidden fasteners for clean lines. One family replaced warped boards and immediately gained quieter footsteps and fewer stains. Tried similar options? Tell us how yours handled summer heat.

Fiber-Reinforced Polymers for Harsh Sites

FRP grating excels on docks and wetlands: lightweight to install, corrosion-proof in salt air, and reliably slip-resistant. We once swapped a rusted footbridge deck for FRP, and locals noticed fewer vibrations. Want specs or span tips? Subscribe for our field notes.

Permeable Paths and Climate-Smart Surfaces

Resin-Bound Gravel with Recycled Aggregates

Resin-bound gravel forms a smooth, porous surface that resists washouts and weeds. In a school courtyard, it kept shoes dry through autumn storms and blended beautifully with native plantings. Considering it for sloped paths? Comment with your grade and soil conditions.

Shade, Shelter, and High-Performance Textiles

High-density polyethylene sails filter intense sun while allowing breezes through, resisting fading far longer than bargain fabrics. A neighbor’s patio routinely ran ten degrees cooler under a taut triangle. Got tricky anchor points or swirling winds? Ask us about cable geometry.

Shade, Shelter, and High-Performance Textiles

PTFE-coated fiberglass and ETFE cushions deliver luminous, lightweight shelter with exceptional longevity and self-cleaning surfaces. Inspired by stadium roofs, we scaled a canopy over a café terrace, softening daylight without gloom. Want translucency comparisons? Subscribe for our material light tables and tests.

Shade, Shelter, and High-Performance Textiles

Code-compliant textiles pair with marine-grade fittings for fast tensioning and safe events. We once re-tensioned a sagging sail mid-festival in minutes, restoring shade and smiles. Planning a seasonal setup? Post your wind speeds and we’ll suggest robust hardware choices.

Lower-Carbon, Longer-Life Materials

By replacing clinker with fly ash, slag, or geopolymer binders, concrete’s footprint drops while durability rises. We poured planter curbs that cured cool and tough. Want mix tips or curing times for your climate? Comment and we’ll share field-proven ratios.

Lower-Carbon, Longer-Life Materials

Powder-coated aluminum stays crisp, Corten develops a protective patina, and recycled steel frames span slim and strong. A local fabricator salvaged offcuts into a railing with poetry-like rhythm. Share your favorite metal finish, and we’ll recommend compatible fasteners.

Living Materials and Bio-Based Design

Densified bamboo boards offer hardwood-like strength with rapid renewability. We finished a narrow balcony in honey tones that warmed sunset light beautifully. Thinking about end-grain exposure or edge sealing? Ask away, and we’ll outline details that keep swelling at bay.

Living Materials and Bio-Based Design

Mycelium forms light, earthy components that compost at end-of-life, perfect for temporary installations and learning gardens. Kids loved tapping the gentle textures during a pop-up exhibition. Ready to prototype? Tell us your timeline, and we’ll suggest protective linings and lifespans.
