YKK AP Launches Renewed Rewood Decking Line

YKK AP Corporation, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, is set to release an upgraded version of its popular recycled wood decking products, the Rewood Deck 200 EG and Rewood Deck 200, now rebranded as Rewood Deck S EG and Rewood Deck S respectively. Launching on January 9, 2026, this new line retains the notable features of high durability and safety while improving installation efficiency and affordability, along with aesthetic appeal.

A Step Toward an Eco-Friendly Future

As more homeowners seek simplified living spaces, particularly through single-story houses and renovations, there is a noticeable trend in choosing materials that reflect diverse lifestyles. Homeowners increasingly view outdoor spaces, including gardens, as extensions of their living areas. Enhancements like fences, decks, and landscaping contribute to a seamless outdoor living experience.

However, the construction industry faces major challenges with a skilled labor shortage, leading to potential delays and rising costs. In response, YKK AP aims to elevate the functionality and design of its products while simplifying the workload and time required for contractors. The new Rewood Deck S EG and Rewood Deck S embody concepts such as Smooth installation and Safety, setting a new standard in the decking market.

Redesign Features of Rewood Deck S Series

The new series features enhanced plank thickness from 30mm to 40mm, increasing rigidity and addressing thermal warping concerns. This design adjustment allows for a reduction in the number of structural components like beams and posts. For a standard 2間6尺 (approximately 3.6m wide, 1.8m deep) setup, installation time is reduced by around one hour, and pricing is about 93% compared to previous models, marking an incredible improvement in both economy and efficiency.

A refined aesthetic is achieved by minimizing the size of cap pieces while matching their color and texture to the decking material, resulting in a sleek and sophisticated appearance.

Key Product Features

• - Improved Installation Efficiency: Streamlined components reduce the number of required structural elements, enabling easier installation.
• - Enhanced Aesthetics: Cap pieces are now smaller and designed to blend seamlessly with the decking material, enhancing visual coherence.
• - Affordability: Thanks to design optimizations, all sizes of the new series are competitively priced, significantly lowering customer costs.

Product Durability and Safety

Both the new Rewood Deck S EG and Rewood Deck S maintain the high durability standards of earlier models. They are made from a blend of wood powder and polypropylene, ensuring high resistance to weather, decay, and moisture, crucial for outdoor use. The unique structure of the decking now prevents items from falling between the planks, addressing common concerns of users.
