Performance Benefits of Recycled Plastic

     · Extremely durable, with a life span at least four times that of timber with little visible wear;
     · Rot and algae-proof, requiring little or no maintenance and no painting or preservatives
     · Crack-proof and insect-resistant
     · Labour saving, because so little maintenance is required, and it does not need frequent replacement
     · Less flammable, it falls under Rating Class 3 in accordance with BS476
     · Resistant to graffiti and more resilient to other types of vandalism
     · UV-Resistant, with little or no colour loss or sunlight damage
     · Plastic is splinter-free and handrails can be smoothly finished
     · Plastic retains latent heat efficiency, meaning a reduced frost or ice hazard during cold snaps
     · Plastic can be uniquely manufactured to have a rough, non-slip surface
