The Product:

1) Composition
Our plastic lumber is a solid, non-hollow foamed recycled product made from Recycled High Density Polyethylene (ReHDPE) plastic. Common HDPE (recycling code # 2) products are gallon style milk, water and juice containers, as well as some detergent and shampoo bottles.Our plastic lumber is 100% plastic with no wood fillers to rot, peel, weather or blister, and generally contains over 90% recycled HDPE plastic material.

2) Color
Our plastic lumber utilizes Ultra-Violet (UV) stabilized colorants added during the manufacturing process to ensure a long lasting, fade resistant product requiring no staining, painting or sealing of any kind. Even when cut,the exposed product is colored. Standard deck colors are White, Ivory, Oak, Dove Gray, Dark Gray, Black, Teak, Weathered Teak, Redwood and Hunter Green. We also have special order colors available subject to an additional charge.

3) Texture
Our plastic lumber is manufactured with a slight wood grain-like texture, creating an easy to clean surface that is no more slippery when wet than a painted or sealed wood deck.A natural film, which can’t be seen or felt, is left on the surface of the material after manufacturing. Sunlight will normally “burn off” this film in a few weeks. A rougher, slip resistant (knurled) finish is available if required and lead time may be a factor.. Keep in mind that the coarser the surface finish, the more likely dirt will tend to collect on it.

4) Product Life
Our plastic lumber is still going strong after over twenty years of accelerated weather testing. We haven’t seen the total life span of the product to date. We do have product installed on boat docks since 1976 with no sign of degradation.

5) Maintenance
Our plastic lumber is virtually maintenance free! No staining, painting or sealing is ever required! Washing with a garden hose or mop is about all that is needed under normal circumstances. For stubborn stains, a mixture of bleach and water (1 part bleach to 10 parts water) can be used without harming the product. After all, bleach and acids are normally sold in HDPE plastic bottles.

6) Tools
Standard woodworking tools can be used. You may have to use a lower speed with your router or planer/jointer to prevent “gumming up” of the router bit or the planer/jointer knives. Carbide tipped bits and blades are recommended. Always use tools according to manufacturer’s instructions, and wear protective clothing and safety glasses for your safety.

7) Weight
The weight of this product is comparable to Oak lumber.
