Epic plastics is the manufacturer of Bella Rosso composites and
Bella Decking products.
In 1996 Epic began manufacturing its recycled plastic garden edging,
 for customers
west of the Rockies. Due to its durability, longevity, ease of use,
and beauty, has
grown in popularity to become today's leading brand of edging used
by landscape contractors.
In 2001, Epic focused its research and development efforts on perfecting
composite materials technology. The goal was a manufacturing process
that would yield the most natural-looking and best performing deck
board available on the building materials market. Those efforts
paid-off and in 2003 Epic relocated its manufacturing facilities
to Lodi California. The move allowed the company to install and
configure the necessary equipment for composite materials production
alongside its
lines. The Lodi building will also serve the company in all its
projected growth and expansion needs. Final composite production
equipment was installed in the Spring of 2004 and production of
 Decking started in
the Fall of that year. Epic's first
Decking™ production line has the capacity to fill over 30% of
the composite demand in Northern California.
Each and every employee of Epic Plastics is proud of
Decking™ . Not only does the finished product mimic Clear Heart
Vertical Grain Redwood in both color and embossed grain, but the
raw materials that make-up the product are near to this company's
heart as well. The core of
Decking™ is made entirely from post-consumer HDPE (#2) bottles.
That's right. It's recycled plastic beverage containers. Epic took
its core competence for recycling plastics into usable lumber substitutes
and put it in the heart of
Decking™.
The skin of Decking™,
though, is where one finds all of Epic's engineering know-how. The
skin of Bella Decking™ is a combination of recycled wood sawdust
and virgin polypropylene resin. The composite material is a very
tough, skid resistant (even in rainy or wet conditions) product
stiff enough to span 24" joists while supporting over 350 lbs.
By controlling the thickness of the skin, Epic limits the use of
virgin polypropylene while maintaining the product's overall high
performance characteristics. Ultimately though, Epic is most proud
of the beauty of its new product and, for Bella Decking™ at
least, beauty is way more than just skin deep.
Once installed, your deck made of
Decking™ will give you decades of ageless, maintenance-free
natural beauty while supporting all your outdoor living and entertainment
needs. |
