Plaswood’s rectangular recycled plastic lumber is a durable, low-maintenance alternative to traditional timber. Manufactured in the UK from at least 95% recycled plastic, it offers the same workability as wood while delivering long-lasting performance in outdoor and structural environments.
These profiles are widely used in construction, landscaping, furniture fabrication, and infrastructure projects where consistency, strength, and weather resistance are essential.
Typical Applications for Rectangular Profiles
Structural Frameworks: Used as studs, joists, beams, and rafters in outdoor structures, including boardwalks, decking subframes, and framed installations.
Fencing: Larger rectangular sections are ideal for fence rails and frameworks, while smaller profiles are used for fencing pales with flat, pointed, or domed tops.
Furniture & Fabrication: Commonly used in cabinet-style fabrication and custom outdoor furniture frames due to their uniform strength and appearance.
Landscaping Projects: Found in compost bins, raised beds, edging, planters, and other landscaping features that require a rot-resistant material.
Bespoke Constructions: Ideal for project-specific fabrications where traditional timber might warp, split, or degrade over time.
