Synthetic wood is a composite material typically made by combining finely powdered wood flour with plastics or resin-like substances. It's an eco-friendly option, as it often uses recycled wood and plastic. Unlike natural wood, synthetic wood's plastic content makes it resistant to decay and eliminates the need for preservatives or painting, reducing maintenance effort and cost.
By incorporating a core material, synthetic wood also minimizes expansion and contraction due to temperature changes, thus preventing warping and bending.
Synthetic wood is commonly used for outdoor home decks, terraces, fences, and louvers, as well as in public facilities like park walkways, tables, benches, spa facilities, and restaurant terraces. Its lower water absorption rate compared to natural wood makes it more resistant to rot and easier to maintain. Its surface is non-slip when wet and does not sag with age, making it a durable choice for various applications.
Synthetic wood combines the attributes of both wood and plastic, resulting in a versatile composite material. It is typically more expensive than domestic natural woods, but understanding its pros and cons is important for informed decision-making.
Synthetic wood's resistance to decay and elimination of the need for periodic treatments like mothproofing or waterproofing is a significant advantage. It requires less maintenance and is free from chemical-related hazards. In public facilities or outdoor settings where natural wood is less feasible, synthetic wood offers a similar texture and warmth. Its ease of processing, including cutting, drilling, and sanding, makes it suitable for home DIY projects. It can be cut with a saw without using power tools, and can also be processed by sanding and drilling.
One drawback of synthetic wood is its susceptibility to deformation under high heat due to its plastic content. This requires caution around open flames, such as bonfires or barbecues. Additionally, it does not quite replicate the texture, aroma, and warmth of natural wood. In direct summer sunlight, it can become uncomfortably hot to the touch.
There are many types of synthetic wood, molded from various wood and plastic mixtures. These include ribbed surfaces, hollow constructions, and boards with uneven surfaces. Some conform to architectural standards like 2x4s or square timbers, as seen in products made of square timbers. The wood-to-plastic ratio affects texture, with higher wood content resulting in a more natural wood-like feel.
The choice of synthetic wood depends on its intended use. For wood decks, non-slip ribbed finishes are popular. For fences, 2x2 lumber is commonly used. Consider color and texture to ensure harmony with the house and surrounding architecture, offering more flexibility than natural wood.
