There is a particular kind of sadness that comes with a neglected outdoor space. You remember what the deck used to look like — sunny afternoons, weekend barbecues, children running barefoot across smooth timber. But over the years, the wood has grayed, cracked, and splintered. Mold creeps into the grain. Paint peels in long, curling strips. What was once the heart of outdoor family life becomes a hazard zone no one dares step onto without shoes.
This is the story of thousands of homeowners around the world. And increasingly, it is the story that ends with a remarkable WPC decking installation — and a backyard transformed beyond recognition.
Before-and-after renovation stories are powerful. They don't just sell a product; they sell a vision of life as it could be. They answer the question every homeowner secretly asks when they look at their deteriorating deck: Is it worth it? The answer, project after project, is an emphatic yes. Modern WPC decking — wood plastic composite — is rewriting what outdoor living looks like, one installation at a time.
In this article, we take you through four compelling real-world transformation stories, a detailed installation breakdown, expert tips, a thorough WPC vs. wood comparison, and everything else you need to feel confident planning your own outdoor decking renovation.
Why Before-and-After Decking Projects Matter
A photograph of a finished deck is inspiring. A before-and-after sequence is transformative — literally and emotionally.
Research in home improvement behavior consistently shows that visual proof of renovation outcomes is among the top drivers of purchase decisions. When a homeowner sees their exact situation — a warped, moldy timber deck — reflected in a "before" image, and then sees the "after" revealing a sleek, modern outdoor retreat, the mental leap from considering to committing shrinks dramatically.
Beyond aesthetics, the stakes are real:
Property value. According to industry data, a well-installed outdoor deck can return 65–80% of its cost in added home value. High-quality composite decking consistently outperforms wood in appraiser assessments due to its longevity and low maintenance profile.
Lifestyle enhancement. An outdoor space that is safe, beautiful, and comfortable gets used. Families gather. Guests are entertained. Children play. That is worth more than any ROI calculation can capture.
Reduced maintenance burden. Traditional wood decks demand annual sanding, sealing, staining, and painting — a cycle that costs hundreds to thousands of dollars per year. WPC decking eliminates virtually all of that ongoing expense.
Safety. Rotting wood, protruding nails, and splintered boards are genuine hazards, particularly for children and the elderly. Replacing a deteriorating deck is not just cosmetic — it is responsible.
These are the reasons before-and-after decking projects matter. They are stories of homes improved, lives enhanced, and problems permanently solved.
Story 1: From Rotting Wooden Deck to Modern Backyard Oasis
The Before: A Deck Past Its Prime
Mark and Claire had lived in their suburban home for fourteen years. The pine deck attached to their back living room had been one of the features that sold them on the property. By year nine, however, it was becoming a source of frustration. By year twelve, it was a genuine embarrassment.
The 28-square-meter deck presented every classic symptom of a timber structure at end-of-life:
- Surface boards warped and pulling away from joists
- Visible mold colonies in the gaps between boards
- Significant splintering — their youngest daughter had needed a splinter removed from her heel after a barefoot evening outside
- Faded, peeling gray paint over what was once a warm cedar stain
- Several boards visibly soft underfoot — early signs of rot below the surface
They had repainted twice and replaced three boards in the last four years. Each fix was temporary. Each spring brought new damage.
Estimated annual maintenance cost: approximately $600–$900 in materials and professional labor.
The Challenges
Beyond aesthetics, Mark and Claire were facing structural questions. Was the subframe salvageable? Could the ledger board — connecting the deck to the house — be trusted? Was the drainage adequate, or had water been pooling beneath the surface and accelerating rot?
These are the questions every homeowner faces in a deck replacement project, and they require a professional site assessment before any new material is ordered.
The Installation Process
Step 1 — Site assessment and demolition. A licensed contractor assessed the existing structure. The subframe joists were inspected individually. Approximately 40% required replacement; the ledger board was in acceptable condition and retained with reinforcement.
Step 2 — Subframe upgrade. New galvanized steel joists were installed at 400mm centers — the correct spacing for WPC board installation and a critical improvement over the original 600mm timber joist spacing that had contributed to board flex and premature wear.
Step 3 — WPC board installation. Forestar composite deck boards in a warm charcoal grain finish were laid using a hidden clip fastening system. No visible screws. No surface punctures that could allow moisture ingress. Boards were installed with manufacturer-specified 5mm expansion gaps to accommodate thermal movement.
Step 4 — Perimeter and finishing details. Fascia boards were fitted along all visible edges for a clean, built-in appearance. Stainless steel post bases were installed for new railing posts.
Step 5 — Final inspection. All board ends, gaps, drainage channels, and fixings were checked against installation specifications.
The After: A Space They Actually Use
The completed deck was, by Mark and Claire's own description, "unrecognizable." The charcoal composite boards complemented the home's existing brick exterior. The surface felt solid underfoot — no flex, no give, no anxiety about what might be happening beneath.
Eighteen months after installation, the deck looks exactly as it did on completion day. No fading. No mold. No maintenance beyond an occasional rinse with a garden hose.
Key Takeaways:
- Invest in a professional subframe assessment before any surface work begins
- Hidden fastening systems deliver cleaner aesthetics and better moisture management
- The right joist spacing is non-negotiable for long-term board performance
Story 2: Small Urban Patio Transformation
The Before: Wasted Potential
Sophie's apartment in the city came with a modest 12-square-meter concrete balcony terrace. It was technically an outdoor space, but the raw concrete was uninviting in every season — cold in winter, glaring in summer, and featureless year-round. A couple of plastic chairs sat out there, mostly unused.
The goal was simple: turn a neglected concrete slab into a genuine outdoor room — somewhere to have morning coffee, host a small dinner, and feel connected to the open air without leaving home.
Why WPC Was Chosen
WPC decking is uniquely suited to urban terrace applications for several reasons:
- Installation over existing concrete — no demolition required, reducing both cost and disruption
- Lightweight compared to stone or ceramic tile — important for load considerations on elevated structures
- Drainage-friendly — quality WPC boards installed with appropriate gaps allow rainwater to drain through rather than pool
- Comfortable underfoot — the composite material does not retain cold or heat to the same degree as bare concrete
For a small urban terrace, the installation cost was modest. The transformation, however, was disproportionately significant.
Installation Highlights
Because the concrete substrate was sound, the installation process was streamlined. Adjustable pedestal supports were placed directly on the concrete surface — no drilling, no adhesive, no permanent alteration to the building structure. This "floating deck" approach is increasingly popular in urban apartment settings and suited for rooftop and balcony installations where penetrating the waterproof membrane is prohibited.
Forestar teak-finish composite boards were installed in a herringbone pattern — a design choice that gave the small space a boutique hotel aesthetic and made the terrace feel larger than its actual footprint.
After Results
What Sophie described as her "dead space" became her favorite room in the apartment. The teak-finish boards brought warmth and texture. A pair of low outdoor chairs, a side table, and a potted olive tree completed the picture. The drainage between boards meant no standing water after rain — a persistent problem with the previous concrete surface.
Lessons Learned:
- Pedestal-supported floating decks are ideal for balconies and rooftops with existing waterproofing
- Pattern choices (herringbone, diagonal) can dramatically enhance the perceived size of a small space
- Lightweight WPC boards are a practical necessity for elevated urban installations

Story 3: Swimming Pool Deck Upgrade
The Before: A Safety Liability
The poolside deck at a private residence in coastal Queensland was a hazard that had been tolerated for too long. The treated pine boards — common in Australian pool installations from the early 2000s — had developed the characteristic problems of timber in a high-moisture environment:
- Significant surface checking (cracking along the grain)
- Green algae colonization in shaded areas
- Surface splintering from seasonal expansion and contraction
- A slippery surface when wet — dangerous for pool users of any age
The homeowner had applied non-slip coatings twice. Both wore off within a season. Several boards had been replaced individually, creating a patchwork appearance.
Installation Details
Pool deck WPC installations carry specific technical requirements that differ from standard residential decks. The primary considerations:
Slip resistance. Forestar composite boards feature a co-extruded textured surface with a brushed wood-grain emboss. This provides a natural slip resistance (tested to relevant Australian standards) that does not require coating or treatment and does not degrade over time.
Moisture resistance. Unlike timber, WPC boards do not absorb water. There is no swelling, no warping from poolside splash, and no substrate for mold or algae growth in the board material itself. Gaps between boards allow pool water to drain freely.
UV stability. Poolside environments are among the harshest in any residential application — high UV, reflective water glare, and chemical exposure from pool treatments. Forestar's co-extruded capping technology provides a protective outer shell that resists UV-induced fading for the life of the product.
The installation replaced the entire pool surround — approximately 65 square meters — with a light-sand composite board. Drainage channels were integrated into the subframe design to direct water away from the pool structure.
Benefits Achieved
The completed pool deck was unrecognizable from its pre-installation state. The light composite finish reflected warmth without glare. The textured surface passed the slip resistance verification with significant margin. Eighteen months of pool season have produced zero maintenance requirements beyond hosing off sunscreen and debris.
Before vs. After: Pool Deck at a Glance
| Factor | Treated Pine (Before) | WPC Decking (After) |
|---|---|---|
| Slip resistance | Poor when wet | Built-in texture, consistent |
| Mold/algae growth | Regular occurrence | None |
| Splinter risk | High | None |
| Annual maintenance | Coating + board replacement | Hose-down only |
| Appearance after 3 years | Significant degradation | Like new |
| Comfort underfoot | Hard, checks and cracks | Smooth, consistent |
Story 4: Commercial Outdoor Space Renovation
The Challenge of Scale
Individual homeowners are not the only beneficiaries of WPC decking transformations. Commercial operators — restaurants, hotels, resorts, and public facilities — face a compounded version of every residential challenge: higher foot traffic, greater liability exposure, stricter maintenance windows, and the added burden of brand perception.
A beachfront restaurant in Southeast Asia approached Forestar with exactly this scenario. Their existing hardwood terrace — a previous selling point in their marketing materials — had become a brand liability. Dark staining, surface softness in high-traffic areas, and increasingly aggressive warping were visible to guests. Negative reviews had mentioned the condition of the outdoor area.
Project scope: 240 square meters of outdoor dining terrace, phased installation to minimize business disruption.
Installation Strategy
Commercial installations require a level of project management that exceeds residential projects in complexity:
- Phased installation — the terrace was divided into four zones. Each zone was replaced in sequence over four consecutive weeks, allowing the restaurant to operate with reduced outdoor capacity rather than closing entirely.
- Load capacity engineering — commercial-grade subframe with 300mm joist centers to support tables, chairs, and concentrated foot traffic
- Color specification — a warm mid-brown composite board was selected to preserve the tropical aesthetic the restaurant's brand identity depended upon
- Edge detailing — all perimeter boards were finished with matching fascia and stainless steel hardware for a premium appearance consistent with the restaurant's positioning
Business Benefits
Six months after project completion:
- Zero maintenance expenditure on the outdoor terrace (versus a previous annual spend of approximately $3,200 on hardwood oiling, board replacement, and anti-slip coating)
- Guest review sentiment on outdoor dining experience measurably improved
- No slip incidents reported (the previous surface had generated two formal incident reports in the preceding two years)
- The terrace's appearance has featured in three separate editorial features on the restaurant
This commercial WPC decking project demonstrated what outdoor renovation professionals already know: the ROI of quality composite decking in high-traffic commercial settings is among the strongest available to hospitality operators.

Common Challenges During WPC Decking Installations
Even the most straightforward WPC decking installation involves decisions that significantly affect the long-term outcome. Here are the most common challenges — and the expert-recommended solutions.
Uneven ground. Unlevel substrates are the most frequent complication in ground-level deck installations. Solution: adjustable pedestal supports or shimmed joist systems allow the deck surface to be leveled without extensive groundwork.
Drainage planning. Water that cannot escape a deck structure will cause problems regardless of how moisture-resistant the boards themselves are. Solution: install boards with manufacturer-specified gaps (typically 5–8mm) and angle the subframe slightly (1–2%) toward drainage points.
Expansion gaps. WPC boards expand and contract with temperature changes. Failure to allow adequate expansion gaps results in buckling. Solution: follow the specific manufacturer's expansion gap recommendations — these vary by board width and regional temperature range — and use spacer tools during installation.
Substructure requirements. Many WPC board failures are actually substructure failures. Inadequate joist spacing, untreated timber joists, or corroded steel can undermine an otherwise perfect installation. Solution: specify galvanized or stainless steel subframe components, and confirm joist spacing requirements with the board manufacturer before framing begins.
Material estimation. Over-ordering adds cost; under-ordering stalls a project and risks color batch inconsistencies if additional boards are ordered later. Solution: calculate deck area with a professional, add 10% for waste and cuts, and confirm with your supplier that the full order comes from a single production batch.
The Installation Process Explained
Whether you are managing your own project or briefing a contractor, understanding the full installation sequence gives you the knowledge to ask the right questions and evaluate the quality of the work.
Step 1 — Site Assessment
A thorough site assessment includes: measuring the exact deck area, evaluating the existing substrate (concrete, soil, existing frame), identifying drainage requirements, checking local council requirements for permits, and confirming load requirements for the application.
Step 2 — Surface Preparation
Existing structures are assessed for suitability. Deteriorated elements are removed. The substrate is leveled where necessary. For installations over concrete, the surface is inspected for cracks or drainage failures that could affect the floating subframe.
Step 3 — Subframe Construction
The subframe is the foundation of deck performance. For ground-level installations, this typically involves: setting out the joist layout, installing bearer posts or pedestal supports, laying joists at the correct centers, and confirming level and drainage fall. All framing hardware should be galvanized or stainless steel.
Step 4 — Board Installation
Boards are laid perpendicular to joists (or at the specified angle for pattern installations). Hidden clip fasteners are positioned between each board, securing to the joist below and maintaining consistent gap spacing. End joints are staggered across joist centers. Boards are cut to length with a standard circular saw or mitre saw.
Step 5 — Finishing Details
Fascia boards are fitted around all perimeter edges. Any exposed board ends are capped or finished with matching end caps. Railing posts are installed if specified. All cut ends are confirmed clean and even.
Step 6 — Final Inspection
The completed installation is walked and inspected: all board-end gaps are confirmed, fastener engagement is checked, drainage channels are cleared, and the surface is rinsed and inspected for any debris, staining, or installation inconsistencies.
Professional recommendation: always obtain a written handover document from your installer confirming installation compliance with the manufacturer's specifications. This protects your warranty coverage.
Before and After: Why Homeowners Prefer WPC Over Traditional Wood
The evidence from every before-and-after story leads to the same comparison. Here it is in structured form.
| Factor | Traditional Wood | WPC Decking |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Appearance | Warm, natural | Natural wood-grain look, wider color range |
| Maintenance | Annual sanding, sealing, painting | Occasional cleaning only |
| Lifespan | 10–15 years with maintenance | 25–30 years typical |
| Moisture Resistance | Poor — swells, warps, rots | Excellent — non-porous surface |
| Rot Resistance | Low — requires treatment | Inherent — no organic matter to decay |
| Color Stability | Fades within 2–3 years | UV-stable for 15+ years |
| Splinter Risk | High | None |
| Cost Over 15 Years (total) | High (maintenance + replacement) | Lower (minimal ongoing cost) |
| Environmental Impact | Forestry-dependent | Made with up to 90% recycled materials |
| Slip Resistance | Varies, degrades | Consistent textured surface |
The 15-year total cost comparison is particularly compelling. While WPC decking carries a higher initial installation cost than basic timber, the elimination of annual maintenance expenses — sanding, sealing, staining, and periodic board replacement — means that WPC typically reaches cost parity within six to eight years and delivers significant savings over a full 15-year ownership period.
For a detailed technical comparison, Forestar's article WPC vs Traditional Wood Decking: Which is Better? breaks down the data comprehensively.
Design Ideas Inspired by Real Projects
The composite decking makeover stories above represent only a fraction of what WPC decking makes possible. Here are design directions drawn from real projects around the world.
Rooftop decks. Urban rooftop spaces demand lightweight materials, floating installation systems, and extreme weather resistance. WPC boards in cool grey or charcoal tones suit the rooftop aesthetic and pair beautifully with minimalist steel railings and container planting.
Design tip: Run boards diagonally across a rooftop deck to visually expand the space and direct sightlines toward the view.
Garden pathways. WPC boards used as pathway decking through a garden create a cohesive, low-maintenance surface that withstands year-round foot traffic and weather exposure without the annual upkeep of gravel or treated timber.
Design tip: Narrow board profiles (90–120mm) suit pathway applications and create a sense of movement and direction through the garden.
Poolside decking. As demonstrated in Story 3, the pool environment is one of the strongest use cases for WPC. Light, natural tones complement blue water; textured surfaces provide slip resistance without coating.
Design tip: Extend poolside decking to include a shaded pergola area using matching composite materials for a resort-quality finish.
Outdoor dining areas. Wide, level decking surfaces create ideal platforms for outdoor dining. Dark tones (charcoal, espresso) lend a sophisticated, restaurant-quality aesthetic.
Design tip: Frame the dining zone with perimeter lighting recessed into the fascia for evening ambience.
Resort and hotel landscapes. Commercial hospitality applications benefit from WPC's consistency across large areas. Matching cladding on planters, screens, and feature walls creates a cohesive branded environment.
Waterfront projects. Docks, boardwalks, and marina decking are among the most demanding applications for any material. WPC's moisture resistance and non-organic composition make it the natural replacement for treated hardwoods in these settings.
Cost vs. Long-Term Value
The financial case for WPC decking is strongest when viewed over a realistic ownership period rather than as a point-in-time purchase decision.
Initial investment. Quality WPC decking, installed professionally, typically costs 20–40% more than an equivalent timber deck at point of installation. This is the comparison that gives some homeowners pause.
Maintenance savings. A timber deck in a temperate climate requires annual maintenance costing $400–$1,200 depending on deck size and local labor rates. Over 15 years, that is $6,000–$18,000 in maintenance expenditure — before accounting for board replacement.
Replacement cost reduction. A timber deck typically requires full replacement at 12–15 years. A quality WPC installation carries a realistic lifespan of 25–30 years. In a 30-year ownership period, you may replace a timber deck twice. You replace a WPC deck once — or not at all.
Property value. Real estate professionals consistently note that a well-maintained, high-quality outdoor deck adds measurable appeal at sale. WPC decking, which looks as good at year fifteen as it did at year one, presents particularly well during property inspections.
ROI example: A homeowner investing $12,000 in a WPC deck installation instead of $8,500 in a timber alternative saves approximately $9,000–$14,000 in maintenance over 15 years. Net financial benefit: $5,500–$10,500, plus the property value premium.
Expert Tips for a Successful WPC Decking Transformation
Drawing from hundreds of WPC decking projects across residential and commercial applications, here are ten recommendations from installation professionals.
- Assess before you invest. Have a professional evaluate your existing substructure before specifying any product. Subframe condition determines the scope — and cost — of the project.
- Don't compromise on the subframe. A WPC board is only as good as what it sits on. Galvanized steel or high-quality aluminum framing is worth the premium.
- Order from a single batch. Color variation between production batches is real. Confirm with your supplier that your full order comes from one batch.
- Follow gap specifications precisely. Expansion gaps are not optional. Boards that look perfectly fitted in winter will buckle in summer if gaps are insufficient.
- Choose the right profile for the application. Solid-core boards for heavy commercial use; hollow-core or capped composite for residential applications. Know the difference.
- Plan drainage before you frame. Water must have somewhere to go. Design your drainage into the subframe, not as an afterthought.
- Use manufacturer-specified fixings. Third-party clips and fasteners can invalidate warranties and underperform in high-expansion environments.
- Consider board direction relative to the sun. On east-west facing decks, running boards north-south creates a shadow pattern that enhances the wood-grain texture.
- Get the installation guide before you build. Every WPC product has specific installation requirements. Read them before framing begins — not after.
- Photograph the subframe before closing. Document the subframe construction for future reference, warranty claims, or handover to a new owner.
For detailed technical guidance, Forestar's installation guides provide product-specific instructions for every board in the range.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does WPC decking last?
Quality WPC decking from reputable manufacturers typically carries a product warranty of 15–25 years and a realistic service life of 25–30 years under normal residential conditions. Commercial applications in high-traffic environments may see a shorter effective lifespan depending on installation quality and maintenance.
Can WPC decking be installed over concrete?
Yes. WPC decking is commonly installed over concrete using adjustable pedestal supports or a timber/steel sleeper subframe. The concrete surface must be sound, level, and drain adequately. No drilling or permanent alteration to the concrete is required with a floating pedestal system.
Does WPC decking fade?
Lower-quality WPC products can experience color shift in the first few months as surface residues from manufacturing weather away — this is normal and stabilizes. Premium co-extruded WPC products, such as those in the Forestar range, have a UV-stable protective outer cap that resists significant fading for the warranty period and beyond.
Is WPC decking waterproof?
WPC boards are highly moisture resistant — they do not absorb water, swell, warp, or rot as timber does. However, WPC decking is not designed to be a waterproof membrane for the structure beneath. Proper drainage design is still required, and any waterproofing of the substrate (such as a balcony or rooftop) must be maintained independently.
How much maintenance does WPC decking require?
Routine maintenance is minimal — typically an occasional rinse with water to remove debris, dirt, and surface contamination. In environments with significant organic matter (tree debris, bird activity), a more thorough clean with a mild detergent a few times per year is recommended. No sanding, sealing, staining, or painting is required.
Can WPC decking increase home value?
Yes. Outdoor living spaces consistently appear in buyer preference surveys, and a well-installed, low-maintenance composite deck is viewed favorably by buyers and appraisers alike. The added value depends on the size, quality, and design of the installation, as well as local real estate market conditions.
Is WPC decking slippery when wet?
Quality WPC decking products feature textured surfaces that provide meaningful slip resistance in wet conditions — significantly better than smooth timber or painted concrete. For poolside and wet-area applications specifically, look for products with grooved or embossed surface profiles tested to relevant slip resistance standards.
What is WPC decking made from?
WPC stands for wood plastic composite. It is typically produced from a blend of wood fiber (often recycled sawdust or wood shavings) and recycled polymers (typically polyethylene or polypropylene), combined with bonding agents and pigments. Forestar products are made with up to 90% recycled materials. To learn more about the material science, see What is Wood-Plastic Composite? Pros and Cons Explained.
Can WPC decking be used in very hot climates?
Yes, but thermal expansion must be properly managed. In high-temperature climates, expansion gap allowances should be increased in accordance with manufacturer guidance. Quality co-extruded WPC products also include proprietary technology that moderates surface temperature relative to standard capped or uncapped composites — an important comfort consideration in sunny climates.
Is WPC decking eco-friendly?
WPC decking is significantly more sustainable than virgin hardwood. Forestar products contain up to 90% recycled materials and are manufactured without harvesting new timber. WPC decking also extends the lifecycle of materials that would otherwise enter the waste stream. For a detailed look at the environmental credentials, see Forestar's article Why WPC Decking is the Future of Green Building.
What colors and finishes are available in WPC decking?
Modern WPC decking is available in a wide range of realistic wood-grain colors — from light natural tones through mid-range teak and cedar looks to deep charcoals and espresso finishes. Surface textures include brushed, embossed, and grooved profiles. The range is considerably broader than what is achievable with stained timber while requiring none of the ongoing color maintenance.
Can I install WPC decking myself?
WPC decking is more DIY-accessible than many homeowners expect. With the correct tools, a sound subframe, and careful adherence to the manufacturer's installation guide, competent DIYers can achieve professional-quality results. That said, for complex projects — multi-level decks, commercial applications, or installations requiring structural engineering — professional installation is recommended.
How does WPC decking perform in cold climates?
WPC decking performs well in cold climates, including freeze-thaw environments. Unlike timber, it does not absorb moisture that then expands during freezing. Proper expansion gap management remains important as temperature ranges are typically larger in cold climates. Snow and ice can be safely removed from WPC surfaces using plastic snow removal tools; avoid sharp metal implements that may scratch the surface.
What is the difference between capped and uncapped WPC?
Uncapped WPC is a homogeneous blend of wood fiber and polymer — the same composition throughout the board. Capped WPC has an additional co-extruded polymer shell on some or all faces, providing enhanced moisture resistance, UV stability, and stain resistance. Co-extruded (fully capped) WPC represents the current premium standard for outdoor decking applications.
Conclusion
The stories in this article — a suburban backyard reclaimed, an urban terrace reinvented, a pool deck made safe, a restaurant terrace restored — are not exceptional. They represent what happens every day when homeowners and commercial operators make the decision to replace deteriorating timber with modern WPC decking installations.
What changes is more than the surface underfoot. It is the relationship between a family and their outdoor space. It is the confidence to host without apology, to let children run without anxiety, to look forward to the season's first warm weekend rather than dread another round of sanding and staining.
WPC decking is not simply a material upgrade. It is a long-term investment in how you live outdoors — backed by decades of performance data, real-world transformation stories, and a manufacturing standard that is cleaner, more sustainable, and more innovative than traditional timber has ever been.
