As a trusted NewTechWood supplier in Perth, WA, Westgyp offers a wide range of NewTechWood products that include composite decking, cladding, and screening. NewTechWood’s composite timber materials combine the best of both wood and plastic to create a product that is durable, low-maintenance, and eco-friendly. These products are designed to perform well in Perth’s extreme climate, offering lasting performance in the harsh heat, moisture, and coastal conditions.
NewTechWood is made from specially formulated composite timber. Manufactured with reconstituted wood fibres and recycled HDPE plastic, NewTechWood products offer the natural aesthetic appeal of timber with the resilience of plastic. Not to mention, its composition brings low-maintenance durability that can withstand Perth conditions.
NewTechWood’s parent company began in the USA as a recycling company before developing NewTechWood. As such, they continue to use their technology sustainably by using 95% recycled materials like plastic bottles and reclaimed wood fibres. By reducing waste, conserving energy and optimising its manufacturing processes, NewTechWood commits to reducing its carbon footprint. They also enforce annual third-party audits to ensure compliance with environmental, health, and safety regulations.
NewTechWood’s composite timber decking range is rated for BAL 29 areas, making it a great choice if you live in a bushfire-prone location. Not to mention, because of their special composition, all NewTechWood products are more resilient to fire than traditional timber materials.
Featuring UltraShield®, a specially engineered polymer coating, NewTechWood products have superior resistance to ultraviolet rays, termites, and bacteria. This shield also gives the boards protection against fading and stains. NewTechWood guarantees that their products are resistant to colour change from light and weathering exposure as measured by colour change in excess of 5 Delta E (Hunter) units, which is the accepted industry standard.
NewTechWood cladding is designed to be durable and wind-resistant. However, if installed incorrectly or installed horizontally, it can vibrate in strong winds. If better wind resistance is a priority, we recommend installing them vertically to distribute wind pressure evenly. Following NewTechWood’s installation guidelines and using the right tools will also help minimise this occurrence.
Yes, you can cut NewTechWood boards. Though made with special composite timber, you can cut NewTechWood products with standard woodworking tools. However, its density is more than that of regular timber, so it’s recommended to use carbide-tipped blades to prolong the lifespan of your tools. Additionally, to maintain the durability of NewTechWood boards, we also recommend applying a clear sealer on cut ends and edges.
Because of its material and UltraShield® coating, NewTechWood requires little to no upkeep. Unlike natural wood, you won’t need to oil, sand, or paint it to maintain its appearance. Still, regular (but minimal) cleaning and sweeping are necessary to keep dirt and debris off your NewTechWood cladding and decking.
With proper installation and upkeep, NewTechWood composite wood boards can last for decades. To ensure the longevity of their specially engineered products, NewTechWood offers a 25-Year Limited Residential Warranty, a 10-Year Limited Commercial Warranty, and a 25-Year Limited Stain Warranty.
