What can the Plastic be used for?

The manufactured plastic has many practical and very useful properties. The main base of our products are in the form of planks and posts which can be used on their own for garden fences, both low for front gardens and high for side and back fences for instance, along road sides and around fields and paddocks just to name a few. It is also possible to produce a number of other products out of our plastic, such as picnic tables. These would vary in size, suitable for adults and children. Park benches, outdoor tables, square or rectangular plant boxes, decking and seating… the list is endless.

Why are recycled plastic products different?

Plastic lumber is the perfect alternative to anything that has ever needed maintaining. Plastic lumber can be cut with a regular saw, drilled, nailed or screwed into and routed as easily as wood.

How strong is it?

It is extremely solid and strong being able to withstand stress levels of well over 10x that of traditional timber.  It is heavy, durable, virtually indestructible and will not need to be replaced.

In short, it is worry free!

IS THERE A COLOUR CHOICE?

Yes. Our main colours are black and brown. However, we can produce products in a range of colours, such as yellow, red, blue, green, grey and now some new additions being orange, pink, purple & beige! This removes the need for painting & staining, so whatever colour is required… just ask!

DOES IT NEED TO BE CLEANED?

Our products only need to be cleaned after a spillage. The collection of airborne dirt is inevitable and we would recommend a simple spray-down with a hose or wipe over with a damp cloth on a regular basis to ensure that your purchase is kept in the best condition.

WILL IT BURN?

Nothing is completely Non-Flammable. Our products do have an initial high flame resistance level. However, if encouraged, our plastic can show similar burning characteristics to wood, as well as melt if exposed to intense heat… e.g. Fire pits & BBQ’s.

FINANCIAL BENEFITS

Achieving value for money is a key driver for any purchasing decision. Although some recycled products have greater up-front costs, their longevity and durability make them a more cost-effective option over the long term.
