The more obvious characteristic of "timelessness" ie: the fact no surface treatment is required to preserve the product is a huge benefit.
Our deck is built on pillars as our backyard falls away sharply, the deck is absolutely rock solid! The plastic/wood is heavy and dense and transmits vibration poorly, I believe it would be a brilliant candidate for an Ob.
At Bunnings and other retailers of the product you can source reasonably sized samples of the product, however, I would recommend you to buy a couple of meters of assorted product and simply have a play around with the product. You will quickly discover the materials virtues and establish the products bonafide's as an anti-vibration material.
The clearest evidence of the utility of the product is that I have kept every offcut and use the offcuts for every conceivable problem.
