Sustainable
Garden wood

Did you know that Platowood wood is also very suitable for all kinds of garden applications? During the outdoor season, we spend a lot of time in our garden, on the rooftop terrace, or balcony. In these spaces, we love to use natural, environmentally friendly materials. Wood that is 100% sustainable and circular fits perfectly.

Advantages
Garden wood

Wide application

For a complete outdoor design, planters, garden furniture, and pergolas can also be made—using the wood species of your choice. For decking and terraces, Platowood Fraké is the recommended wood type. The result is always sustainable, with a natural and aesthetic appearance.

Low maintenance

Due to its natural weathering and dimensional stability, painting or oiling is not necessary. This makes Platowood garden wood extremely suitable for low-maintenance gardens and projects.

High durability class

Platowood wood falls into durability class I, which means it has an extremely long lifespan of 50 years or more, even in outdoor use without any additional chemical treatment.

Dimensionally accurate and stable

Thanks to the modification process, the wood absorbs very little moisture. As a result, it remains dimensionally stable and is much less prone to shrinking, swelling, or warping.

Our wood is not only used by (landscape) architects—more and more gardeners and private individuals are discovering the many possibilities of Platowood wood. Fences that last 50 years without any finish? It’s possible with Platowood thanks to our unique platonising process. It’s important that the wood does not come into contact with the ground and receives sufficient ventilation. Platowood’s low-maintenance wood is also increasingly chosen for terraces and the cladding of garden houses, pool houses, or storage sheds.

Platowood wood can be used outdoors without treatment. Without a finish, it weathers naturally to a silver-grey tone. How quickly this greying process occurs depends on the amount of direct sunlight and other weather conditions. Prefer to use color? You can choose from various finishes.
