Different requests for Plastic Lumber Customization.

Plastic wood is a material that is primarily used for the manufacture of outdoor furniture, however as climatic conditions, market demand for colours and patterns, and the cost of labour tend to vary from country to country, the demands for purchasing and customisation of this material also tend to vary. Below are some examples of colour, size and mixed customisations of plastic wood.

Colour customization:

This is undoubtedly the most requested plastic wood customisation option by many furniture manufacturers and is mainly due to the trends or tastes of their potential customers. To please the customer, manufacturers often want to customise the colors of a particular model of plastic wood so that they can produce furniture that perfectly matches the style of their customers’ gardens, terraces or living rooms. One of the main charms of plastic wood is that it does not need to be painted, so manufacturers colour this material during the manufacturing process. Plastic wood can be manufactured in both single and mixed colors.

Size Customization:

Plastic wood is a material that, unlike natural wood, the size is determined during the manufacturing process. It is a very easy process, what the manufacturers of this material do is to design different moulds based on the measurements that you want to manufacture. Manufacturers of furniture and accessories request customisation of the size of the plastic wood mainly so that the material can be adapted to the type of projects in which the material is planned to be used.

Mixed Customization (Color and Size):

This process consists of personalising a plastic wood model based on two factors: colour and size. It is worth mentioning that this is a process that can be done with any collection of plastic wood. You can choose the size of a certain wood model as a reference or choose a random size. Regarding the colour, it is possible to choose single colours as well as mixed colours, in any case, the new material will have the appearance according to the customer’s indications.

The following is a practical example of the mixed personalisation of a plastic wood model.

In this project, the client asked us to manufacture the plastic wood according to the brown colour of the model BM5969CE@, but the material had to have the surface finish of the model BHM5435FC (100*15mm), and the size had to be modified so the width and thickness of the new plastic wood model had to be 75*50mm and as a result we got this new plastic wood model.

This new model combines different features that were previously possessed by other models and redefines the concept of plastic wood customisation.
