Renew Resources - Plastic Lumber Ultra Specification - Page 14

   

Renew Resources Catalog



Our plastic lumber is made of 100% recycled material with a unique blend of H.D.P.E. and saw dust that is extruded into different board forms. With this process we can do boards up to 20' length. With the ingredients of materials our plastic lumber is a lot stiffer than regular plastic lumber. You can saw, plane router, nail, and screw it like wood. Our plastic lumber has very little expansion. On a deck application using our hollow top board, you can use 24"O.C with very little flex in the board. With using our Plastic Lumber Ultra, this will allow you to replace your wood material and not lose any stiffness in your board replacement.
