Composite Decking and its Advantages

Composite Decking

Composite decking is largely made from 2 components - wood scraps which are recycled and plastic.  They look similar to traditional wood planks. Traditionally, they came in plank forms but now they are also available in tiles.

Composite Decking


Composite decks need limited painting and sealing as they are highly resistant to warping, termites, and bugs.  Furthermore, they do not mould or rot. The resistant nature increases the durability of the decks. Safety is another parameter as they are slip proof and have splinter free surface. They provide better value than wooden decks on resale of the property making them an interesting addition to the lifestyle.

Manufacturers provide solutions for composite decking in New Zealand with a variety of colour selection along with other options like handrail and gates.  It does cost more than the lumber initially but is more economical in the long run. Pressure treated materials come out to be less costly in the long run, as all the maintenance is discounted. With a minimum of cleaning requirement in the form only a good scrub, the maintenance is also absolutely hassle-free.

They are very environment friendly and essay efficient use of resources as mostly recycled materials like wood scraps (mill waste and old pallets) and recycled plastic is used in their composition.


The comfort is unparalleled with the manufactures sending the composite lumbar as a finished product and there is no need to sand, paint or stain the material. The material is complete with UV resistant finishing to prevent sun damage.

Mining Industry and The Market Forecasts

Mining Industry and The Market Forecasts

Australia’s mining equipment market is estimated at USD 5 billion. The equipment manufacturers have shown particular interest in competing for fine coal cleaning and process control systems, technology for strata reinforcement and of course mining related software.

The mining tools suppliers provide drilling equipment, earth moving equipment, excavation equipment, draglines and front end loaders.
Prospective developments

Futuristically speaking, the statistics and industry practises are showing an incline towards open cut equipment as the companies are shifting functional focus from underground to open cut production.

Filter press and mining accessories in Australia are in demand due to increasing building and industrial activities in a vibrant economy.

As per reports, after 2011, there was a forecast of growth in the mining industry in Australia and a subsequent increase in the demand of related tools. This rise can also be attributed to an increase of private investment in the industry as a result of increase in demand of minerals, especially from regions like China.

Identifying the right mining equipment manufacturer in a booming market

The equipment manufacturer should understand what drives customer satisfaction and be able to provide a variety of quality and safe products.

The specific demands of the different sectors of industry must be documented to create custom tools.

Certification of instruments, machinery and equipment should be latest and the manufacturer should have detailed manufacturing skills.
It is best to liaise with a manufacturer with complete gamut of service scale from wholesalers, resellers to contractors and end users. This bandwidth will ensure quality of product and manufacturing capability.
