Exceptional Project in Beauce: When Architectural Creativity Meets Écoplast Technology

In outdoor living design, the success of a project relies as much on material quality as it does on the vision of those executing it. This outstanding realization in Beauce is proof of that synergy. Born from a close collaboration with our trusted partner, Distribution Decking, this project perfectly illustrates how Écoplast’s composite innovation pushes the boundaries of traditional design to create an outdoor space that is elegant, functional, and durable.

The Bold Choice of Onyx: Aesthetics and Performance

For this project, the homeowners selected our signature Onyx shade. Although it is the darkest tone in our palette, this assertive visual choice harmonizes beautifully with the home’s architecture.

A common misconception in the industry is that dark composite surfaces become unusable in the heat of summer. Thanks to our proprietary formulation combining recycled polyolefins and selected wood fibers, our boards deliver optimal thermal stability. As a result, despite the rich depth of the Onyx tone, the family can fully enjoy their deck barefoot all summer long without compromising on comfort.

Fine Woodworking Meets Composite: Unique Laying Patterns

What truly sets this Beauce project apart is the incredible craftsmanship displayed during installation. Drawing inspiration directly from fine woodworking and traditional carpentry techniques, the installer created distinctive visual patterns across the deck surface.

Instead of laying boards uniformly, the design incorporates strategic directional shifts and picture-frame borders that naturally define outdoor living zones (dining area, lounge section). Thanks to the dimensional precision of our custom-extruded profiles, the angled cuts align flawlessly, delivering a remarkably crisp visual finish.

A Refined Finish: Vertical Skirt Fascia

To enclose the substructure and achieve a clean, streamlined look, the lower perimeter of the deck was wrapped in a vertical skirt fascia. By installing Écoplast boards vertically rather than horizontally along the bottom edge, the design creates an illusion of height while elegantly concealing the pressure-treated framing underneath. This technique also ensures proper under-deck ventilation while keeping unwanted pests out.

Material Versatility: A Multifunctional Privacy Wall

Taking the design concept even further, the Écoplast Onyx boards were not restricted to the floor. They were also used to construct a custom privacy wall.

Evoking modern architectural louvers, this feature protects the living area from wind and sightlines while creating seamless visual continuity with the decking floor. This versatile application highlights the structural rigidity and lightweight nature of our profiles, which transition effortlessly from horizontal decking to vertical wall structures without warping.

A Sustainable, Success-Driven Project

This realization in Beauce perfectly embodies Écoplast’s core mission: delivering 100% local, eco-friendly products that compromise neither on design nor durability. A special thank you to our partner Distribution Decking for their continued trust and outstanding craftsmanship on this exceptional build!
