Plastic Lumber (HDPE) for Commecial site furniture

Sustainable Innovation for Durable Outdoor Furniture

At DM Braun, we’re committed to offering environmentally responsible materials that deliver exceptional performance. Our plastic lumber is a prime example of sustainable innovation in outdoor furniture design.

What is Plastic Lumber?

Plastic lumber made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) is a durable, low-maintenance material for commercial site furniture. It won’t rot, splinter, crack, or warp, and it resists moisture, insects, and UV degradation which makes it well-suited for high-traffic public spaces and harsh outdoor environments where it lasts for decades with minimal upkeep.

Color runs throughout the material rather than sitting on the surface, so it never needs painting or staining and resists fading, graffiti, and vandalism. Combined with its imperviousness to the elements, these qualities give plastic lumber a low total cost of ownership that appeals to public-sector specifiers managing long-term maintenance budgets.

Benefits of Plastic Lumber for Outdoor Furniture:

  • Durability: Highly resistant to cracking, splintering, and breaking, outperforming many traditional materials.
  • Weather Resistance: Impervious to moisture, it won’t rot, mold, or degrade due to weather exposure.
  • Low Maintenance: Requires no painting, staining, or sealing, saving time and resources over its lifespan.
  • UV Stability: Engineered to resist fading and maintain its color even with prolonged sun exposure.
  • Chemical Resistance: Stands up to harsh cleaning agents, salt water, and other potentially damaging substances.
  • Longevity: Designed to last for decades with minimal degradation, reducing the need for replacement.
