MexyTech vs EkoDeck
MexyTech vs EkoDeck: Composite Decking Compared
EkoDeck is one of the most recognised composite names in Australia, largely because of its Bunnings shelf presence and marketing, so plenty of people find it there. That recognition is about reach, though, not proof that it is the better board. MexyTech is the one your timber supplier is more likely to recommend. Both make good composite decking, so here is an honest side-by-side.
The quick version
EkoDeck is a value composite line sold exclusively through Bunnings. It comes in a budget uncapped range and a capped range (EkoDeck Designer). Easy to find off the shelf, but you buy it self-serve, without a timber supplier walking you through it.
MexyTech (the Suprotect range Allmat supplies) is a co-extruded capped composite, sold under the MexyTech brand with a manufacturer warranty and a track record on large international projects. You buy it through a supplier like Allmat, with advice and a quote rather than a shelf price.
Compare like with like: EkoDeck Designer (capped) against MexyTech Suprotect (capped), because the cap is what decides how the deck ages.
Construction: match capped to capped
The biggest factor in how a composite deck holds up is whether the board is capped. A capped, co-extruded board has a hard polymer shell over the top and sides that shields the core from moisture and UV, so it resists fading and staining far better than an uncapped board.
EkoDeck sells both an uncapped budget line and a capped Designer line; MexyTech Suprotect is capped. If you are pricing an uncapped EkoDeck against capped MexyTech, you are comparing two tiers, so match them up. Our capped vs uncapped guide explains the difference in full.
Buying experience: shelf vs supplier
This is the real difference for a lot of people. EkoDeck is convenient off the shelf at a chain. MexyTech through Allmat is a supplier relationship: you get colour advice, a quote for your actual deck size, and the board ready for collection or delivery, with a real brand warranty behind it.

MexyTech vs EkoDeck FAQs
They target slightly different buyers. EkoDeck is sold exclusively through Bunnings, with a budget uncapped range and a capped Designer range, so it is convenient off the shelf but you buy it without a timber supplier’s advice. MexyTech Suprotect is a co-extruded capped board Allmat supplies in South Australia, with colour advice, a quote for your actual deck and a real brand warranty. If you want a capped board with local supplier service rather than a self-serve chain purchase, MexyTech is worth comparing. Match capped-to-capped when you do.
Both. The standard EkoDeck line is uncapped (cheaper, but fades and stains more); EkoDeck Designer is the capped upgrade with a protective shell. MexyTech Suprotect is capped, so the fair comparison is against EkoDeck Designer.
EkoDeck is a Bunnings-exclusive brand, so yes, that is where you buy it. If you would rather deal with a timber supplier who can advise on the board, quote your actual deck and stand behind a brand warranty, MexyTech Suprotect through Allmat is the comparable capped option in South Australia. And unlike a single-chain product, MexyTech is available through Allmat and our authorised stockists, including hardware stores, so you are not tied to one retailer.
