MexyTech vs Eva-Last
MexyTech vs Eva-Last: Composite Decking Compared
Eva-Last is a well-established premium composite brand, so this is a fair, close comparison rather than a walkover. Both are capped boards, both perform well, and Allmat can supply either. Here is an honest look at how they stack up, and where MexyTech makes sense for a South Australian deck.
The quick version
Eva-Last has been going since 2007 and sits firmly in the premium tier, with a broad range spanning bamboo-composite and foamed-PVC boards, strong published slip figures and a hard, durable cap. It is a genuinely good product, sold at a premium price through national distributors.
MexyTech (the Suprotect range) is a co-extruded capped composite with a matched decking and wall-cladding range, formaldehyde-free and 95% recycled. Because Allmat imports and stocks it locally, it comes in at keener value with South Australian availability and one-merchant supply and advice.
Both are capped premium boards, so the deck itself starts from the right construction either way. From there the honest difference is value, local stock and single-source supply, and on those MexyTech is our usual pick for a South Australian deck.
Bamboo, or not? Know what is in the board
Eva-Last is marketed as a bamboo composite, and its bamboo-fibre ranges do use bamboo. But it is worth knowing that its premium boards are a different material entirely. Eva-Last’s own technical data sheet lists the Apex Plus core as foamed PVC with a calcium-carbonate mineral filler and a glass-fibre reinforcement, with an acrylic cap. The Pioneer range is the same foamed-PVC family. In other words, the bamboo story that attracts a lot of buyers does not apply to the flagship boards many of them end up choosing.
MexyTech Suprotect is a straightforward co-extruded capped wood-plastic composite: a hard polymer cap over a wood-fibre and recycled-plastic core, formaldehyde-free and made from about 95% recycled content. No mixed messaging about what it is.
Where Eva-Last genuinely leads, and where MexyTech does
Eva-Last leads on: published, third-party slip data (up to P5) and the sheer breadth of its range, from hollow bamboo boards to solid foamed-PVC premium lines. If you want the most engineered, spec-heavy option and price is not the deciding factor, it is a strong board.
MexyTech leads on: value at a comparable capped spec, a matched decking and cladding range in six coordinated colours, and local South Australian stock. Eva-Last reaches South Australia through national distributors, so lead times vary; MexyTech is carried locally by Allmat, decking and cladding together, with advice and a quote for your actual deck.
So it comes down to what matters most for your project. For a top-of-the-market engineered board with published slip figures, Eva-Last is worth a look. For a quality capped deck at keener value, stocked and supported locally, MexyTech is our usual pick, and we can supply either.

MexyTech vs Eva-Last FAQs
Both are quality capped boards, and Eva-Last is a genuinely established premium brand. Eva-Last leads on its published slip figures and a very broad range. MexyTech Suprotect’s edge is value, local South Australian stock and single-merchant supply through Allmat, plus a matched decking and cladding range. For most South Australian decks that value and local availability is the deciding factor, so MexyTech is our usual pick, but we can supply either.
Its bamboo-fibre ranges (like Eva-Tech and Infinity) are. But its premium ranges, Apex Plus and Pioneer, are actually a foamed PVC board with a mineral filler and no bamboo at all, per Eva-Last’s own technical data sheet. So the bamboo story that draws people in does not apply to the top boards many buyers end up with. It is worth knowing what is actually in the board you are quoted.
Eva-Last publishes strong, third-party slip figures on its Apex range (up to P5 wet pendulum), which is a genuine plus for pools and wet areas. Both MexyTech and Eva-Last are slip-resistant capped boards. If certified slip resistance is your single priority, tell us the area and we will match the right board to the job.
No. Eva-Last is a South-African-founded brand manufactured in China and distributed in Australia through national resellers. MexyTech is also imported. Neither is Australian-made, so if local manufacture is your priority, see our Everdeck comparison instead. Between MexyTech and Eva-Last the real difference is value and local South Australian supply.
