Abstract
Aspects described herein relate to polymer-based building materials that include combining thermoplastic and thermoset polymers to the polymer-based cap. By including thermoset polymers, deficiencies in polymer-based construction materials can be address. The addition of thermoset polymers may facilitate improved scratch, abrasion and slip resistance for polymer-based building materials.

A polymer-based building material, comprising:
- a core having a first thickness extending between a first planar surface and a second planar surface;
- and
- a cap, the cap adjacent to at least the first planar surface, the cap including a matrix comprising a thermoplastic polymer and a thermoset polymer,
- wherein the thermoset polymer is uniformly distributed throughout the cap.
