MANUFACTURING The high-density
polyethylene raw material utilized in Poly Lumber is derived from post-consumer
bottle waste such as milk containers. This material is cleaned in a
decontamination process to a purity level over 99% HDPE. It is then compounded
into rigid board stock material, the resulting finished product containing over
90% recycled post-consumer waste by weight.
Poly
Lumber is manufactured in many dimensional lumber sizes, shapes and colors.
Planks, rails, slats, tongue and groove, as well as specialty profiles are
available. The product comes in many wood tones and popular colors. Custom
colors can be produced on a large volume, commercial
basis.
LIMITATIONS
This type of lumber product
has less rigidity and greater elongation than wood lumber. Therefore, Poly
Lumber is not recommended for use as a structural member. Examples of
applications that are inappropriate would be load bearing walls, and floor
joists.
When utilizing Poly Lumber for decking or flooring, you should
be aware that this flooring product has a tendency for static electricity build
up. Due to various degrees in individual jobs this may or may not be an
issue for your specific project. If it should be, this will lessen with time.
The joists of the support frame should be spaced 12" on center. Uniform
Building Code suggests that decking beams should deflect no more than 1/360th
of the span of the frame in a uniform load. Therefore, when constructing a deck
with 3/4" thick Poly Lumber material, joist spacing should be 12" on center. 1
1/2" thick material is utilized with 24" centers to meet these
criteria.
