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.
Platowood Fraké and meranti are both suitable for window and frame applications. The difference between the two is that Platowood Fraké can be used untreated, while meranti must be painted. Although fraké may be more expensive initially, it becomes more cost-effective over time because paint requires maintenance.
In addition, Platowood Fraké shrinks and swells 70% less, which means windows and doors are less likely to stick during winter.
