PROTECTING AGAINST WEATHER

Looking for a unique decking or cladding material that’s good for the environment? Bamboo decking and siding from Dasso could be the perfect choice. With an eco-friendly footprint, this sustainable wood is a great choice for homeowners and builders looking for a beautiful, long-lasting solution that’s anything but ordinary.

The decking product is available in two colors (Classic Espresso & Epic Cognac), and features a reversible face that provides two distinctive looks. Dasso decking planks come in 6’ lengths for easy handling/storage. In addition to the grooved edges to accommodate hidden fasteners, the boards also feature an end-matched design that eliminates the need for your butt joints to land on a joist. This innovative design has the potential to reduce installation labor by 30 percent. With the ability to span 24” joist spacing, dasso decking is a nice option for resurfacing those old decks with joist centers wider than 16” on center.

Similarly, Dasso siding products are Class A fire-rated and available in two colors. The Rainclad siding is available in two widths (6” & 7”) and features a modified shiplap profile. The dasso shiplap features a 4” nominal board width as well as a thinner profile that makes it a nice choice for soffits. Both of these dasso siding products feature the end-matched design that allows the potential to reduce installation time and product waste.
