In Eric Rasmussen's home, the material Skatelite was used in several areas, which got me thinking about cost and availability. If you search for it online, you get a myriad of skateboard ramp suppliers, but as far as getting your builder to install it as a exterial cladding/countertop/flooring/screen (some of which are shown above), I'd recommend some further research. Skatelite is made of plastic-impregnated wood fiber. During its manufacture, the...Read more
