Recycled plastic for your patio means risks and troubles ahead!


When designing a patio, it’s easy to be tempted by an inferior-quality product like recycled plastic that will get the job done. Or at least you think it will. Mistakenly.

By using a low-quality product to build your patio, just because the product is cheap, you may find yourself paying for that mistake for a long time.

Recycled plastic just won’t do. The product’s elevated expansion coefficient when there are temperature fluctuations will have you cursing. It expands when it’s warm and contracts when it’s cold. The seams will open up more than those of any other product on the market, and the boards will very likely become warped along their length.

The composition of recycled plastic deck boards is never the same, which poses a serious problem when it comes to ensuring the continuity of a project, especially with regard to the stability of the product.

You’ll kick yourself, in addition to burning your toes!

A patio you’ll regret

In different places on the boards, you’ll find little bits of uncolored plastic, air bubbles and the appearance of numerous, frequent scratches. Recycled plastic certainly has more than its share of aesthetic defects. The cuts aren’t very clean, and there are often glaring imperfections at the cut ends of the boards. Textured boards that are only textured on the surface? No, thank you.

And let’s not forget about the static electricity! Grabbing the doorknob and getting a shock that goes all the way down to your toes. Or a little rain and suddenly your patio becomes the neighborhood skating rink. We’ve seen better…
