Imagine ...

A product that looks exactly like any type of wood, metal or plastic ... and is totally made of recycled material. One that requires no painting or priming and is completely maintenance free – throughout its 50+ year life.

• A product that is waterproof and UV stable to the strictest of standards.
• A product that can be manufactured to be stronger than any of the South American hardwoods, but looks exactly like them; or lighter than the lightest of the softwoods, and with a consistency of ‘look’ that beats both.
• A product that can be formed into almost any shape, and manufactured in any colour and finish – and one that can be nailed, screwed, glued, drilled, welded and sawn using standard woodworking tools.

Synthetic timber is the answer

We use recycled polystyrene such as waste packaging for electronic goods, waste drinking cups and other similar items that are not biodegradable, and often cause major disposal headaches for local authorities.

We are reducing the depletion of the world’s precious hardwood and softwood forests quite simply because our products can be made to look like any natural timber product such as oak, beech, teak and pine – and are stronger, more consistent and last longer.

Our products

All of our products generate no waste during manufacture and are completely recyclable.

They can be manufactured to any shape – the profile limited only by your imagination. And all of our products come with the final finish and are lifetime maintenance-free. However, if chosen, they can be treated with solvent free products such as paint and varnish.

Through a process of continual development we have successfully formulated a range of products that meet many of today’s challenges.

This range includes a product tested and certified to achieve Class 1 Spread of Flame for use within the building sector, and products that contain biocides for use in areas demanding high protection against bacterial growth in places like hospitals, canteens and washrooms. We also produce a fungicidal product for use in areas of high humidity.

Our processes

We operate a continual assessment programme covering the way we utilise all our extrusion machinery and, importantly, the methods and materials chosen to manufacture all our product tooling. We have over many years also developed our internal systems to ensure that we reprocess materials wherever possible - even down to adapting our systems to recirculate all cooling water in a closed loop.
