CAN AN ENTIRE DECK OR DOCK BE BUILT OUT OF PLASTIC LUMBER?
Yes. For decking surfaces, rails, balusters, benches, and other similar applications, you would use our “premium” grade plastic lumber. For joists or beams, while most customers use wood, you may use our structural grade. DOES IT REALLY LAST FOREVER? Almost. Plastic Lumber has a very long maintenance free product life. Engineers estimate that it will last for 400 years with minimal degradation. Plastic Lumber Yard offers a lifetime limited warranty. IS IT SLIPPERY WHEN WET? Plastic Lumber has a “wood grain” texture and is not slippery when wet or dry. DOES IT BREAK, MELT OR BURN? Under normal conditions and use, cold and hot temperatures will not affect plastic lumber. Plastic lumber will soften at 180F with a melting point of 435F. No product distortions will occur within the service temperature range of -25F to 125F. Although it has a higher kindling point than wood and is self extinguishing when flame is removed, plastic lumber, like wood, will burn when exposed to a combustion sour
