Due to the conditions which exterior coverings are exposed to, they must be much more resistant than the interior ones. The evolution of the materials allowed the development of a massive composite deck that is, comparatively other solutions, the most durable in the market. These are the massive composite deck great advantages:

• High impact resistance. Because it is massive, the mechanical resistance to impact is quite high.
• Resistance to water absorption. Absorption below 0.5% when immersed in water over a period of 24 hours. Compared to the alveolar deck, the exposure area to moisture is less than about a half.
• Stability. When being cut, the massive composite deck has a high mechanical stability, keeping its characteristics.
• Trim free. Because it is massive, this material does not require the application of covers or trim after cutting. This feature facilitates and simplifies the deck application.
