How is it made?
COMPOSITE VS TIMBER
Composite Wood represents significant environmental, time and cost savings when compared to natural timber products.
| COMPOSITE WOOD | TIMBER | |
|---|---|---|
| Environmental Impact | 90% recycled wood & plastic | Degradation of land and natural hardwood forests |
| Maintenance | Minimal, only needs cleaning as required – approx 80% to 90% less than wood | Every 12 months – sanding, re-painting, staining or sealing |
| Longevity | Minimum 15 to 20 years once installed correctly | 3 to 6 years depending on the maintenance, termite treatments and installation |
| Fading | Stable after 3 months | Significant if not treated correctly |
| Moisture & Rotting | No rotting – is water resistant | Absorbs water, likely to rot after 2 to 3 years or before pending conditions and regular maintenance |
| Termites | Termite resistant | Requires continual treatments to prevent termite infestation |
| Warping | Stable due to raw product and extrusion technologies | Naturally distorts depending on moisture and temperature |
| Splitting | Does not crack due to aging | Cracks are a natural course of aging |
