COMPOSITE DECKING

Pioneer redefines what composite decking is. For centuries, we’ve looked to the past, to the era when mighty timbers shaped our world and craftsmanship was bound by the tools of its time. But innovation has evolved. Today, human ingenuity has achieved what once seemed impossible. Engineered with next-generation technology, Pioneer composite captures the soul and beauty of hardwoods in every grain and hue. It delivers the ultimate timeless look of natural timber for decades to come, without the negative impact on our planet. 

FEATURES

RARE WOOD REPLICATED IN REINFORCED BAMBOO-PVC COMPOSITE

The Pioneer range is advancing composite aesthetics with high-resolution digital replications of endangered hardwoods and rare timbers, playing a vital role in preventing the future felling and possible extinction of these wood species. A bamboo foamed-PVC and glass fiber-reinforced core provides increased strength and span capability and reduces expansion and contraction of the PVC. Its advanced wear layer and composition protect against fading, scratches, moisture, and stains. Every board is unique. Zero repeat – no repeating patterns across the entire pallet.

THE JOURNEY

HERE’S HOW WE’VE MADE IT HAPPEN!

SELECTING TIMBER TYPES

Mother Earth offers an extraordinary spectrum of timber species and Pioneer is committed to honoring them through a durable, reliable composite. In consultation with leading timber experts and distributors from across the globe, we examined regional decking preferences and compared hues, grains, and distinctive characteristics continent by continent. This global exploration allowed us to curate a selection of exceptional wood species which now forms the foundation of our Pioneer color collection.

SOURCING THE BEST TIMER SAMPLES

With the selected wood species finalized, we began sourcing premium timber planks to scan for our groundbreaking composite range. With some of these timbers being hard to come by, especially in longer lengths, this was a time-consuming and cumbersome process. Once received, each plank was carefully inspected by experts to identify the most beautiful colors and grain patterns. Samples were sorted into two groups, and only flawless pieces moved forward. From these, the best “face” of each plank was selected and marked, forming the ideal pallet lot of reference boards for every timber type.

PREPARING BOARDS FOR SCANNING

The selected hardwood timbers required meticulous care to preserve their integrity. Shipped from around the world, each board was carefully packaged to protect it from UV, salt, and moisture ingress, and transported on the most efficient shipping lines. Upon arrival at the Eva-Last scanning facility, every plank was re-inspected and prepared for its intended finish – some were oiled for the Pioneer “oiled” tones, while others remained untreated to achieve the “natural” colour options.

Every Board Unique

REVOLUTIONIZING COMPOSTIE THROUGH SCANNING

Each selected timber plank was scanned in high-resolution to capture every subtle detail and faithfully replicate its natural nuances. The scans were then printed to film, colour-corrected, and verified against the original boards before moving into full-length composite production. What many believed impossible became reality: a library of exceptionally accurate scans which power the Pioneer range’s remarkably realistic colour range, including the Indigenous collection where you can achieve a full pallet without a single repeated grain pattern.

BRINGING PIONEER TO MARKET; AN INSPIRING RESPONSE

Pioneer’s reception from the market has been exciting, immediate, and nothing short of inspiring. Timber and composite professionals, distributors, dealers, contractors, and architects have been blown away by the remarkable result and creation of Pioneer. We at Eva-Last have always been “pioneers” in composite decking technologies. Now, our flagship Pioneer range lets us celebrate what happens when tenacity meets creativity, and we respect our forests enough to seek new ways of preserving them. Pioneer immortalizes the rarest, and most sought regional timber species through a new progressive form of composite decking.
