• What is composite Railing / Balustrade?

Composite Railing is a material mixed with wood fibres and eco-friendly polymer resin plastics. Composite Railing is more durable than regular timber or wooden Railing but has the unique appearance and feel of natural wood.

• How is composite Railing made?

UltraShield weather-resistant Railing is made from a capped wood plastic composite, which means it has an advanced premium shield encasing ALL four sides around its inner core. The shield and core are extruded together under a very high temperature mould simultaneously, so there are no adhesives or chemicals that are harmful to the environment.

• What is Ultrashield?

UltraShield is recognised worldwide for its robustness, beauty and versatile colour combinations. UltraShield is an environmentally friendly fully capped wood plastic composite. Years of engineering and countless hours of field-testing has yielded a product of unmatched performance and beauty. UltraShield combines the proven strength of high density polyethylene plastic and wood fibres with an outer shell of polymer that completely encapsulates the board in an impermeable layer of protection from stains & fading.

• Is UltraShield environmentally friendly?

Our products are made from 95% recycled materials, including clear plastic bottles and reclaimed wood fibres. We’ve reduced our carbon footprint through waste reduction, energy conservation and a vertically integrated manufacturing process. Every month we save over 12,000,000 pounds of plastic from being buried in landfills.

• Is Ultrashield low Maintenance?

UltraShield’s premium shield encapsulates the board in an impermeable layer of protection. This makes UltraShield stain and fade resistant. The surface is waterproof so only sweeping and cleaning off debris and dirt is required for upkeep; ultra low maintenance and easily wiped clean.

• How strong is Ultrashield?

UltraShield has been means tested above global regulatory standards. Lab testing rarely mimics real life, so we went above and beyond to make sure that you have peace of mind and that you can rely on our composite Railing.

• Will the colour fade because of the sun?

Hundreds of hours of direct UV testing has left minimal change to the colour of UltraShield Composite products.

• Does composite Railing cost more than timber Railing?

In the short term composite Railing will cost more than wooden Railing. However, wooden Rails will require maintenance such as oiling or painting every year to keep it looking good. UltraShield is nearly maintenance free and has a longer life span than regular Railing.
