    A New Generation of Decking Boards

    May 24th, 2016

    The literal translation of DURO in Italian is โ€“ HARD. This name was not chosen by accident and the iDecking DURO decking boards have been created to offer outstanding levels of resistance in terms of non-splinter qualities and water resistance.

    DURO is the name of the most innovative 100% recyclable material we studied to fix all the issues tied to stability, resistance and longevity of traditional woods, which are now available via the iDecking Revolution.

    What is DURO made of?

    DURO consists in a mixture of virgin polymers (PVC) and agricultural waste products (rice husks) mixed through an innovative and secret classified DUROprocess to form this incredible material, processed by extrusion.

    How is DURO processed?

    DURO is processed like wood, with standard wood working machines and tools. It can be cut, drilled, sanded, glued and painted as if it was a piece of teak.

    How can I keep my decking nice and clean?

    Both DURO and Wood Decking can be stained by grease, wine, coffee and other elements; if possible, immediately act on the spot with a normal household cleaner. If the stain resists, you can remove it by lightly sanding it with 40-60 sandpaper, always in the grain direction. We recommend the application of one or more layers of protective transparent treating paint, which protects your decking from dirt and makes cleaning much easier.

    Is DURO a sustainable product?

    YES! DURO is a 100% recyclable material. Its primary component, rice husk, is a renewable source that can be replaced in an incredibly shorter cycle than wood; furthermore the rice husk used to make DURO would be otherwise intended to be wasted and burned producing CO2.
