Since its creation in 1995, Gracious Living Innovations’ Aura™ material has been used in many different industries, including the spa, window covering and outdoor furniture. Aura™ continues to lead in performance and colour stability as a wood and composite replacement.

Innovative and versatile Aura™ material was one of the first of its kind offering the real look and feel of wood without the maintenance.

More admiration, less maintenance.

Regular outdoor wood products require years of sanding, staining, weather-proofing and repair to maintain their look and function. Aura™ gives you lasting beauty without the continuous cost or time commitment of maintenance. All it takes to clean is soap, water and a quick spray from a garden hose.

Outdoor style engineered to last.

Aura™ is virtually impervious to UV, insects and water making it resistant to mold, mildew, rot and termites.

Outdoor style engineered to last.

Since Aura™ does not absorb water, it will not split, crack or warp. Aura™ can be used in a number of different applications and is easy to work with using normal woodworking tools.

Strength, safety and sharp style.

Aura™ provides excellent traction, wet or dry. Our decking is approved in both Canada and the US for residential use under building code certification bodies. For more information, view our US ICC-ES Evaluation Report or our Canadian CCMC Evaluation Report.

Wood-like colour with a green side.

Aura™ material is recyclable. Our manufacturing facilities produce zero emissions and we reuse water and all excess material from the manufacturing process, resulting in virtually no waste.
