Durable, Eco Friendly and Maintenance Free – A Third Way for Wood

Written by Severine Obertelli

“Smith Bros – Enviro Materials” brings the exciting new material Exwood to the UK, for launch at Cityscape a premier London based materials show for architects and others involved in construction design. Widely and successfully developed over the past 12 years through use in major projects across Indonesia, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Canada, Exwood is no ordinary wood-alternative material. The revolutionary recyclable product is a durable material produced from organic fibres and recycled plastic and is touted as “the tree’s best friend”. It is the result of years of research into the development ofof a new eco-friendly alternative to timber. Exwood uses rice husk, which as an abundant fast growing crop harvested extensively across South Asia and most significantly a natural organic material, combined in a delicate ratio with post-consumer recycled plastic which thus avoids otherwise ecologically destructive land fill. Besides the unequivocal environmental benefits of using this material, Exwood also delivers substantial advantages when compared with wood. Free of maintenance requirements, Exwood does not rot or splinter, is entirely weather-resistant and is aesthetically the same as natural wood. Additionally and unlike wood it can also be fully recycled after use. From simple garden and pool decking to marina’s and modern Exwood clad five star hotels, architects are to find huge potential in such an ideal material in a world adapting to climate change. Environmental concerns are finally now to being taken seriously by governmental and commercial bodies and it is planned to repeat the successes shown across Southern Asia with Exwood in the UK. In order to fulfil the increasing demand of an ever more eco-conscious UK market, “Smith Bros – Enviro Materials” has joined forces with the pioneering Canadian company, Just Organic Products Inc, as sole UK partner for supply of Exwood. “Smith Bros – Enviro Materials” is a division of Smith Bros (Quinton) Ltd, a Midlands based business, that also sells natural paints, insulation and wood care products, as well as providing installation services for many external decking, fencing, garden building and similar projects.
