Poly-wood the green solution to Traditional Wood

Poly-wood the green solution to Traditional Wood

Poly-wood the green solution to Traditional Wood by; Glenn Mast


Poly-wood is a green dream. Not only does the product, which is made up of recycled plastics, and sawdust and formed to look like wood, comes in many colors, helps save the landfills, but it also protects the future of trees by offering an alternative for construction of furniture, garden lighthouses, birdhouses, wind chimes, fences, decks and outdoor landscaping decor.


This new plastic lumber is finding a great reception in the hearts of many contractors. Since poly-wood first began being used commercially in 1990, it has been found that it does not fade, is not affected by the elements, and is often more durable than traditional lumber used in the same applications.


Another great benefit of using poly-wood for a building project, like the new back deck you've been thinking about, is that it is not susceptible to termites or other insects. The industry has recognized that plastic lumber is the perfect solution to outdoor construction and have designed the poly-wood to look more like traditional wood. It can also be cut like real lumber, making it easy for even a DIYer to use.


The plastic lumber has also gained popularity in the outdoor décor industry. The poly-wood can be found in bright, playful colors for use on the beach or next to a pool. It also comes in more traditional wood tones for a classic look in the outdoor room next to the pond. The best thing about the new technology is that it does not have to be repainted.


The only downfall to the poly-wood to date is the expense. It does typically cost more than traditional products. The industry is working hard to offer a variety of products that will entice all aspects of the public to discover poly-wood. The variety of colors and the variation of sizes being offered make finding the perfect piece for your project a snap.


When the cost is taken into consideration with all the benefits - the durability, the strength, the maintenance free aspect, you will find that in the long run it will be more cost effective than traditional wood and especially the impact on the environment - it is easy to see how the popularity of the poly-wood will only continue to grow.
