There’s nothing more serene or inviting than a well-placed pool, pond, fountain or water feature to create a striking space in your home. Structures incorporating water enhance your environment and create a focal point in any space. But water often means there’s more upkeep, higher maintenance requirements and costs, and increased exposure to wear and tear on surrounding surfaces.
With Eva-Last’s highly durable and beautiful bamboo composite products such as decking and cladding, you can enjoy all the benefits of incorporating water features with minimal fuss and maintenance.
Here’s a few tips on how to create water features that maximise your space for the ultimate enjoyment.
THINK ABOUT LOCATION
Incorporating a water feature naturally creates a focal point so deciding where to place it is an important consideration. The location should complement the overall landscape design, enhance the flow of the space, and take into account factors like sunlight, surrounding foliage, and visibility from key areas of the home.
CONSIDER THE ENVIRONMENT
Areas that are too sunny or too shady for anything to grow could be the perfect spot for a pool, jacuzzi or fountain. Just be sure the materials you use are fit for purpose. Extended exposure to the elements – and expansion and contraction – can play havoc on wet areas, reducing their appeal and their lifespan. With Eva-Last’s advanced decking and cladding you needn’t ever worry about this.
EXPLORE MODERN MATERIALS
Since the area is likely to be subject splashes, drips, drops and moisture, your building materials should be weather resistant and waterproof above all else. Thanks to modern material technology, the material choices available that endure this environment is not limited to hard stone, timber or concrete surfaces.
Modern building materials such as advanced bamboo composites from Eva-Last – made from eco-friendly bamboo fibres combined with recycled plastic – offer an attractive wood-look appearance with outstanding durability and performance.
Designed to recreate the natural tones and textures of real wood without concerns for water damage, warping, damp or rot, Eva-Last’s range of composite decks, beams, cladding and balusters are ideal for pool decks, jacuzzis and sauna surrounds, and feature walls around ponds, water features or fountains, and so much more!
Eva-Last’s advanced bamboo polymer composition ensures a water and slip resistant surface that won’t crack or fade in the dry or wet and will remain splinter-free and scratch-resistant for years to come.
Apart from pool decks, wetland walkways and the like, using Eva-Last’s versatile and durable bamboo composite boards ensures your enjoyment of the water doesn’t come at an increased maintenance cost. From Pioneer, Apex, Infinity and Eva-tech decking technologies to Lifespan beams and VistaClad cladding products, simply select the colour and finish that tickles your fancy and turn on the trickle! Eva-Last’s composite products are specifically designed for wash and wear and are guaranteed for decades.
