Jayeon Group has launched high-performance, eco-friendly building and interior materials made with 'carbon fiber'—a material used in specialized fields such as aerospace, automobiles, and shipbuilding—for the first time in Korea, drawing attention from the market.
'Carbon fiber' offers excellent heat resistance and impact resistance; it is lighter than metal (aluminum) yet superior in elasticity and strength compared to metal (steel), and it has long been widely used and highly regarded in specialized fields across various industries. 'Carbon' is the English name for the element, and when certain fibers are baked at high temperatures, only carbon remains, producing 'carbon fiber.' When this is cut into small pieces and combined with polymers, 'carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP)' is created. Being lightweight and highly durable, it is widely used as a high-performance industrial material across many fields, including sporting goods (fishing rods, golf clubs, tennis rackets), the aerospace industry (heat-resistant materials, aircraft fuselages), automobiles, construction (lightweight materials), electrical and electronics, telecommunications (antennas), and environmental industries (air purifiers, water purifiers).
The new products introduced by Jayeon Group are two items that harness high-performance carbon fiber to combine durability, light weight, and cost efficiency: the decking material 'Carbon Fiber Decking' and the interior/exterior finishing material 'Fiber Wood Wall Panel.'
High-Performance, Eco-Friendly Materials With Outstanding Durability and Ultra-Light Weight
The types of decking materials commonly used in today's construction market include preservative-treated wood, synthetic wood, and natural wood. Preservative-treated wood and natural wood have short lifespans and are prone to damage, deformation, and discoloration due to external environments, resulting in the drawback of high maintenance and management costs to prevent these issues. In addition, synthetic wood (WPC), which was developed to compensate for the shortcomings of wood, fails to serve as a reasonable alternative due to the characteristics of its raw materials. In contrast, Jayeon Group's 'Carbon Deck' improves upon and compensates for the problems of natural wood and synthetic wood, offering the advantage of ensuring stability against climate change, temperature, and all other external factors. Furthermore, 'Carbon Deck' is a high-performance premium decking material created with advanced technology by combining carbon fiber with other specialized materials and substances to maximize not only durability but also light weight and cost efficiency, and it is expected to receive a favorable response from consumers going forward.
Yu O-geun, General Manager of Sales at Jayeon Group, said, "Carbon Deck is not only high-performance but also has a luxurious texture and color that is more wood-like than wood itself. Thanks to its key features of ultra-light weight and durability, it is more convenient to install than other decking materials, and with virtually no deformation after installation, it maximizes cost efficiency with no worries about maintenance and management costs—making it the finest premium decking material."
In addition, the new 'Fiber Wood Wall Panel' is an interior/exterior finishing material that reinforces Jayeon Group's existing 'Fiber Wood' product with carbon fiber, reducing weight while enhancing durability for greater satisfaction. It is characterized by its ability to be installed in various spaces such as walls, ceilings, and building exteriors.
A representative of Jayeon Group said, "In today's construction and interior market, eco-friendliness is a given, and consumer demand is growing very high for materials that are easy to install yet require no maintenance after installation, offering both convenience and strong cost efficiency. This new product utilizing carbon fiber retains the feel and texture of wood while being lightweight and exceptionally durable, allowing for semi-permanent use. It is a material that fully reflects the needs of the current construction and interior market, and a next-generation product that will lead the materials market going forward."
Meanwhile, Jayeon Group (www.fiberwood.co.kr) is currently expanding its business scope through partnerships with global companies, and it supplies consumers with customized specialty decking materials—including not only carbon deck and fiber deck but also steel deck and stone deck—through manufacturing as well as import and distribution. In particular, it continues to earn a favorable response from businesses and customers through 'Fiber Wood,' an interior/exterior finishing material for architecture and interiors. 1522-1552
