About us Platowood adds value to wood. Through a unique process using only heat and water, we enhance the durability of fast-growing wood species that naturally have a short lifespan. Suitable for both interior and exterior applications in any climate.
Fraké is a fast-growing hardwood species originating from certified forests in West Africa, which by itself is only very limitedly durable. Previously fraké was not harvested at all – it decayed too quickly. By platonising fraké we transform it into a usable material that adds value.
Platowood sources the fast-growing softwood spruce from FSC®- and PEFC™-certified forests in Scandinavia. Here, the wood is already naturally sturdier than in central Europe. Spruce is a traditional structural building material in the Netherlands, but the process of platonising turns it into a high-quality and aesthetic wood product with good shape stability.

The Platonium 05 profile is a four-sided planed profile with rounded edges. Due to its simple shape it can be applied in many ways.

Platonium 10, or tongue profile, is a profile suitable for closed cladding and can be applied one-sided only.
Platonium 11 is a profile suitable for concealed fastening. The extended tongue of the P11 provides space for a screw or nail, which is covered by the groove of the next board.
Platonium 12 is a profile suitable for concealed fastening with false rebate. The result is a façade without visible screw or nail holes.
Platonium 16 is a profile used as a decking board with concealed fastening.
