In Exterwood Malaysia, the search for truly tropical-suitable flooring has long tested the limits of design and engineering. For decades, traditional hardwoods promised warmth and beauty but quickly succumbed to rot, termites, and decay. Meanwhile, early-generation WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) decking—though marketed as low maintenance—often expanded, cracked, and faded under relentless heat and humidity.
For homeowners and contractors alike, this led to a repeating cycle of disappointment and costly replacements. Refusing to accept this as inevitable, the founders of Exterwood—experienced outdoor decking contractors—transformed frustration into innovation. They began rethinking every failure they had seen on-site, converting years of practical experience into scientific progress. The result was a breakthrough that would redefine tropical flooring performance: Exterwood EcoR Deck.
Today, Exterwood stands as a leader in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia, with expansion plans into Thailand, bringing its high-performance outdoor solutions to clients across the region and beyond.

I. The Founding Principle: From the Decking Frontline to Design Innovation
Every meaningful invention begins with discontent. For Exterwood’s founder, that discontent came from years on the job, watching well-designed outdoor decks deteriorate far too soon.
Rather than blaming climate or circumstance, he sought to eliminate the weaknesses of both wood and WPC once and for all. The solution would need to combine beauty, strength, and near-zero maintenance—a genuinely durable outdoor decking brand built for the tropics.
Thus, EcoR Deck was born: an eco-friendly building material engineered to last, freeing homeowners and designers from endless upkeep. With this shift—from installer to innovator—Exterwood gained a unique perspective rooted in hands-on expertise and practical insight into what truly defines maintenance-free material performance.
To ensure total quality control, Exterwood established its own manufacturing facility in China, operating as a direct supplier without middlemen. This guarantees material consistency, affordability, and the flexibility to serve both “supply & install” and “supply only” markets—benefiting contractors, architects, and homeowners alike.
II. The Technical Blueprint: Why EcoR Deck Redefines Material Evolution
At the heart of the Exterwood EcoR Deck lies a material composition unlike any other. Instead of relying on organic compounds that fail in humidity, Exterwood employs 100% PVC, reinforced with Polymerised Glass Fibre (PGF) technology. This zero wood-flour structure is the key to its exceptional performance.
- 100% Waterproof Performance
With no wood content to absorb moisture, EcoR Deck completely prevents swelling, rot, or decay. It is fully moisture-proof, mold-proof, and termite-proof flooring—engineered to thrive where others fail. - PGF Reinforcement for Dimensional Stability
The Polymerised Glass Fibre core strengthens the decking’s structural integrity, dramatically reducing thermal expansion and contraction. This ensures the surface remains flat and crack-free, even under Malaysia’s extreme heat. - ASA Surface Technology for Color Longevity
Each board is coated with ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) UV protection, maintaining surface vibrancy and texture under prolonged sun exposure. The result is long-lasting color decking that preserves its design integrity year after year.
With these innovations, EcoR Deck stands as the ultimate Exterwood waterproof flooring solution—scientifically engineered to answer the question of how to choose outdoor decking for tropical environments. Every Exterwood product is backed by a 10-year limited warranty covering color fading, warping, and cracking, a guarantee of lasting confidence and craftsmanship.
III. The Legacy of Endurance: Sustainability Through Longevity
In an age where sustainability defines good design, Exterwood’s contribution is durability itself. A deck that lasts decades instead of years reduces both material waste and replacement frequency—making EcoR Deck a truly eco-conscious, long-life outdoor decking solution.
As a low maintenance decking option, it requires no sanding, sealing, or refinishing—just a simple rinse. This not only saves homeowners time and cost but also eliminates the use of harmful maintenance chemicals.
Beyond longevity, Exterwood ensures safety through its R12 slip-resistance rating, providing reliable traction in wet conditions—whether beside pools, on rooftops, or in commercial courtyards. The result is a waterproof and sun-proof decking recommendation that balances beauty, safety, and endurance.
IV. Beyond Homes: Building Trust Through Real Projects
Exterwood’s quality is proven not just in private homes but across large-scale commercial and hospitality projects throughout Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia. From resort boardwalks and rooftop terraces to restaurant patios and residential developments, EcoR Deck has become a preferred choice among architects and builders seeking aesthetic resilience with functional longevity.
Exterwood’s mission extends beyond products—it’s about elevating outdoor living standards, ensuring every deck installed becomes a timeless part of the space it serves.
V. Conclusion: The Art of Engineering Meets the Poetry of Space
At its core, Exterwood represents a rare harmony between design and durability. It bridges the poetic warmth of outdoor living with the precision of materials science—offering not just a deck, but a foundation for lasting memories.
With its presence established in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia, and upcoming expansion into Thailand, Exterwood continues to redefine what durable outdoor flooring brands can achieve in tropical climates. Because in every project, from a serene poolside deck to a lively rooftop terrace, Exterwood stands for one timeless truth: the most beautiful spaces are the ones that endure.
