Those who also want a low-maintenance space often select vinyl or wood-plastic composites.
These new materials are available in a range of gloss levels and use temperatures, and can be used to produce capstock for vinyl, cellular vinyl, or wood-plastic composite profiles, or solid profiles and sheet if needed.
PolyOne’s extensive experience in exterior applications combined with Geon Bold weathering data from multiple geographic regions provides customers with the necessary support and confidence during the selection process.
