Forestar product is wood plastic composites, made from a unique blend of recycled wood powder and plastics, combines with highly advanced manufacturing process. Forestar product is a special combination of approximately 60% hardwood fibers, almost 30% polypropylene, and the rest 10% contains high quality pigments and some other additives such as UV stability, mildew and fire resistance.

Forestar products has an appearance that is very similar to wood and works as perfect alternative to wood, but not substitute.

Forestar product is very tough and therefore, difficult to be scratched or damaged under normal circumstances.

Forestar product is of unique and higher-cost formulation, and the best fire resistant rate we can carry is the B1. Unlike wood, it is not easily to be ignited due to its solid product with no air pockets inside, but once it catch fire, if the fire source is removed from, it will self-extinguish very quickly and will not drip molten material like plastic does.

If Forestar product has been installed as mentioned in the Installation and Maintenance Guide, most of melt off will flow away rather than freeze. However, we recommend to use rock salt or calcium chloride for ice or snow removal. These may only leave white residue, but it can be cleaned easily by mild soap or rinsing with water.

Forestar product can adapt to various weather conditions. It will shrink in hot and expand in cold when installed. We recommend to put boards in the working spot 48 hrs before installation so as to make it’s adaptation to the weather.

If it gets marked or damaged, then the scratch can be softened and blended back into the deck using either Danish or Tung Oil. Please see our                                                    for more details.
