The sustainability of Platowood Fraké is a frequently asked question. Thanks to its low environmental cost indicator of just €0.43 per square meter, Platowood Fraké is an extremely sustainable choice. Fraké is a fast-growing wood species that gains a long lifespan through hydro-thermal modification.
The Terminalia Superba, better known as the limba tree, provides the wood from which Platowood Fraké is made. Naturally, this wood is not durable and falls into durability class 5 — meaning that untreated, it will rot quickly when used outdoors.
By platowooding the wood, its lifespan is significantly extended, creating a sustainable product suitable for outdoor use. In addition, harvesting these trees contributes to the local economy.
When the window frame or door is evenly exposed to sunlight, the weathering will also be uniform. To prevent uneven greying, you can choose to treat your frame with a pre-weathering stain.
Keep in mind that if you apply Platowood window frame wood untreated, the wood behind the glass will not grey as evenly as the exterior. Glass blocks UV rays, which influence the greying process of the wood.
