POLYPROPYLENE COMPOSITE
(Plastic & Wood Mix)
These
materials are usually 90%+ recycled. They are made from Polypropylene or Polyethylene (plastic bags or milk jugs) and sawdust
or fine wood particles (wood flower). It takes about ten milk jugs and eight cups of saw dust to make one foot. It is manufactured
under heat and pressure to encapsulate the wood in the plastic. These materials tend to lighten in color over the first six
months unless they have a UV inhibitor. It has a wood grain embosses into it.
We recommend Timbertech composite products, which feature unmatched good looks and longevity, will never rot or crack and is
splinter-free. Timbertech decking is extremely weather-resistant and never needs painting or staining for protection and is
available in an array of designs and colors. Please note - several of the composite decks shown below were designed with cedar handrail. While composite
handrail is available, cedar handrail is less expensive yet gives a custom look.
