Overview of Nam Soon and its two product lines: ENV-Shield & Co-Extrusion
Nam Soon is a Singapore-based brand with a history dating back to 1986. Starting in the timber industry, the company has evolved into a leading designer and contractor for outdoor construction projects in Singapore. With nearly 40 years of experience, Nam Soon has continuously invested in material innovation and developed high-performance outdoor solutions designed to withstand demanding tropical climates.
Today, TCBM imports and distributes two of Nam Soon’s flagship wood product lines in Vietnam: ENV-Shield (Decking) and Co-Extrusion (Cladding). Both product ranges are specifically developed for outdoor applications, offering excellent durability, aesthetic appeal, and reliable performance in the hot, humid, and high-rainfall conditions commonly found across Southeast Asia.
ENV-Shield is designed for decking applications such as swimming pool surrounds, gardens, balconies, terraces, and landscape walkways. Co-Extrusion is a specialized cladding solution for both interior and exterior wall and ceiling applications, delivering long-lasting protection and a natural wood-like appearance.

Structure of Nam Soon wood
Nam Soon wood products, including ENV-Shield and Co-Extrusion, are manufactured using advanced Co-Extrusion technology and feature a dual-layer construction consisting of a core layer and an outer protective shield.
The core layer provides structural strength, dimensional stability, and load-bearing performance, ensuring the product remains durable under various service conditions.
Surrounding the core is a protective shield layer designed to safeguard the surface from environmental exposure. This outer layer enhances water resistance, reduces dirt accumulation, improves scratch resistance, and helps maintain color stability during long-term outdoor use.
This two-layer construction significantly extends product lifespan while meeting the demanding performance requirements of modern exterior applications.
The core structure and protective Shield layer help maintain long-term durability and aesthetic appeal.

Key advantages of ENV-Shield & Co-Extrusion
ENV-Shield and Co-Extrusion are two engineered wood product lines developed by Nam Soon for modern interior and exterior applications. By incorporating advanced Co-Extrusion technology, these solutions offer outstanding durability, enhanced aesthetics, and long-term performance, making them ideal for a wide range of residential and commercial projects.
Excellent adaptability to tropical climates
ENV-Shield and Co-Extrusion are specifically engineered for the hot, humid, and high-rainfall conditions commonly found across Southeast Asia. The products maintain their structural stability when exposed to prolonged sunlight, rain, and high humidity, helping to minimize the risk of swelling, cracking, or deformation during outdoor use.
The material delivers reliable performance under frequently changing weather conditions.
Water resistance, termite protection, and reduced warping
Unlike many natural wood products that require regular maintenance, Nam Soon wood is designed to resist water absorption, reduce the risk of termite infestation, and maintain dimensional stability over time. These characteristics make it particularly suitable for outdoor applications that are continuously exposed to the elements, such as garden decking, pool surrounds, balconies, terraces, and building facades.
Realistic 3D wood grain surface
Both ENV-Shield and Co-Extrusion feature a realistic 3D wood grain finish that replicates the natural beauty of real timber. The textured surface adds visual depth and character, allowing projects to achieve a warm and sophisticated appearance while maintaining the consistency, durability, and stability of an engineered material.
The 3D wood-grain finish of ENV-Shield and Co-Extrusion closely mimics natural wood.
Protective shield layer for enhanced surface performance
The products are equipped with an outer Shield layer that provides effective surface protection against scratches, dirt accumulation, and UV exposure. This protective layer helps preserve the material’s appearance and color stability over time, allowing it to maintain its aesthetic appeal without the need for complex maintenance procedures such as periodic painting or refinishing.
Safety in use
The product surface is designed to improve grip underfoot, helping to reduce the risk of slipping in outdoor areas. At the same time, the material does not produce wood splinters during use, providing a safe and comfortable experience for users, especially in spaces where people frequently walk barefoot, such as swimming pools or resort gardens.
The surface enhances grip and reduces slipping for safer use.
Easy to clean and low maintenance
Cleaning ENV-Shield and Co-Extrusion is relatively simple. Users can clean the surface with water without the need for specialized cleaning chemicals. The products’ resistance to dirt buildup, combined with their high durability, helps significantly reduce maintenance costs and upkeep time throughout the service life of the project.
Standards and certifications of Nam Soon wood
To meet the requirements for quality, safety, and sustainability in modern construction, Nam Soon wood products have undergone various tests and obtained important certifications, including:
- FSC Chain of Custody (FSC CoC) Certification: Ensures that raw materials are sourced, managed, and traceable in accordance with FSC standards throughout the supply chain.
- Fire Test Report: Verifies the fire performance of the product based on recognized testing procedures.
- Slip Resistance Test Report: Assesses the slip resistance of the product surface, supporting safety evaluation for use in outdoor areas.
