Construction project materials that combine strength, durability & low maintenance. Plaswood plastic lumber is long-lasting & versatile and is the perfect material for in-ground applications. A fantastic alternative to materials such as timber, concrete or metal ... Project managers & construction planners opt for Plaswood where a rot & weather-resistant low-maintenance solution is essential for their projects. Made from at least 95% recycled plastic waste.
High performance Recycled Plastic Lumber
Plaswood lumber is an innovative alternative to standard construction materials. Made from at least 95% recycled plastic waste, weather-resistant, non-splintering & recyclable where respective collections exist. Perfectly suited to water based, in ground or high weathered applications including coastal projects.
Benefits of Plaswood Lumber for Construction:
- Weather Resistance: Traditional timber absorbs water, leading to rot and warping, while metal corrodes over time.
- Solution: Plaswood is impervious to water. It is inert and safe to use in-ground and in water-based applications.
- Low Maintenance Costs: Construction materials like timber require regular treatment, staining, or replacement as the farming of trees has seen the strength of industry wood supplies diminish, increasing costs over time.
- Solution: Plaswood is very low maintenance, requiring no painting, staining, or treating, simply wash down with cloth or powerwash.
- Durability and Strength: Natural materials can degrade quickly in demanding environments, leading to frequent replacements.
- Solution: High strength and durability make Plaswood ideal for heavy-duty applications, reducing lifecycle costs.
- Aesthetic Durability: Versatility: Many traditional materials lack adaptability for bespoke designs and specific project requirements.
- Solution: Plaswood lumber is available in a range of sizes, shapes, and colours, providing flexibility for diverse applications.
