High-performance, maintenance-free surfaces for parks, plazas, and public infrastructure.
The Challenge
The Problem: Public Infrastructure Under Constant Stress
Public installations face a uniquely demanding combination of use conditions: heavy pedestrian traffic, weather extremes, occasional vandalism, ADA compliance requirements, and the political pressure of tight municipal maintenance budgets. Wood boardwalks in parks and urban plazas require annual sealing, regular splinter inspection, and board replacement every 5-8 years – ongoing costs that accumulate significantly over the lifespan of the infrastructure project.
For municipalities and public works departments, the total cost of ownership (TCO) of a wood installation is routinely 3-5x the initial material cost when maintenance labor, coating materials, and replacement cycles are factored in over a 20-year planning horizon.
The Miura Board Solution
Miura Board® eliminates the maintenance cycle entirely. No staining, no sealing, no annual inspection for splinters, and no replacement of individual boards due to rot or UV degradation. The material is graffiti-resistant and can be pressure-washed clean without surface damage. Its non-toxic composition meets public safety requirements for installations where children and pets are present.
Urban designers and landscape architects specify Miura Board® for its clean, consistent gray aesthetic – which weathers uniformly rather than developing the irregular staining and cracking patterns of wood – and for its ability to contribute to LEED and sustainability scoring through its 100% recycled content.
