Since its beginnings in 2004, we have been on the cutting edge in wood plastic composite (WPC) technology, to develop products that bring beauty and practicality to spaces worldwide. They have solved the problems experienced in the early days of development and come up with a product that is not only extremely hard wearing, but has a natural timber look.

The Shield is made of special engineering grade polymer and additives with extreme low water penetration. Using a co-extrusion process the shield is heat pressed onto the core creating an impermeable protective barrier against moisture, ultra-violet (UV), insects and bacteria.

The 360-degree capping offers full protection around the entire board, including the grooves. This comprehensive shielding is the only way to fully safeguard the board from UV rays, water, insects, and mold/mildew. A strong and durable polymer shield encases the core, which is made from wood fiber, PE polymer, and additives. The Shield, crafted from a special engineering-grade polymer with extremely low water absorption, ensures the board remains visually appealing for years without the need for painting, sanding, or oiling.

When you purchase one of our products you will be amazed at how little time you will need to spend maintaining it. While many wood options require sanding, sealant and staining treatments on a yearly or bi-yearly basis, the most you’ll ever have to do is to give it a good scrub with some cleaner and water to be sure mold doesn’t grow. If any accidental spills occur, all you have to do is wipe the spill up as you would on a kitchen floor. Spills won’t stain or sink in, and our composite decking is resistant even to red wine. Otherwise, you can rest easy knowing your deck, fence or siding will live on without weather damage.

In its early days, composite lumber looked much more like plastic than wood. Now, with new technologies and better manufacturing processes, the material appears much more natural, including different colour finishes similar to a variety of wood types and grain patterns that mimic real ones. Some manufacturers are also working on making the capped composite physically feel more like natural wood. As time passes, composites will only get closer to matching the beauty of real wood. With so many positives, it’s easy to see why more and more people are choosing to build their new decks and facades out of recycled composite material. Between the quick installation time and little necessary maintenance, you’ll be able to spend less time worrying and more time enjoying your favorite new spot for reading, sipping coffee or relaxing.
