Clients come to us time and time again to discover the benefits of plastic wood when their previous timber installations are experiencing rot, being affected by harsh weather conditions and are simply degrading despite ongoing maintenance. Our plastic lumbers are resistant to splitting and cracking, mould/rot resistant and resilient to weather conditions, and with the flexibility of traditional construction materials, are the perfect substitute for wood.

Because of its low maintenance and ability to be shaped, drilled and cut much like wood, plastic wood lumber is often the eco-friendly choice for builders, architects and DIYers alike when undertaking a construction project.

Below are the Top 10 uses for recycled plastic wood lumber as a replacement for traditional timber:

3. Window and Door Frames

Exterior frames are put through their paces in the elements. Being weather-resistant, this plastic wood gives you the aesthetic qualities of wood without the rotting and paint peeling that can age the appearance of a property.

4. Moulding/Trim

Durable, lightweight and waterproof, many builders utilise plastic lumber for trim and mouldings. Recycled plastic planks offer you even more, with the flexibility of wood to be tailored to your project.

5. Landscaping

Whether you’re looking for a long-term solution for border walls, garden beds or paths, our sturdy plastic wood can offer you the support you need whilst withstanding moisture and use over time.

Plastic wood lumber is often used in the creation of park items such as benches, shelters and fencing. It’s the ideal choice as it doesn’t split or chip, which can lead to splinters. It is also graffiti-proof, which means that it will continue to look as fresh as the day it was installed for many years to come.
