With RelWoodTM no trees need to be cut,


thus helping save forests and mother earth.
It is made with natural fibre that would
otherwise be burnt, therefore saving our
planet from pollution.

TOUGH OUTSIDE CARING INSIDE

RelWood TM brings you the next generation wood without any


limitations. It looks and feels like wood, can be worked
upon like wood and lasts long without any deterioration.

Made with a patented German technology developed


by technology partner Resysta, it uses the complex PTF technology
to build a homogeneous bonding between natural fibre and polymer.
This creates a material which has the natural look and feel of wood
but is resistant to water, sun, wind, cold and does not splinter at all.

THE ART OF WOOD WORKING
REDEFINED
The premium edge - RelWoodTM UPB is a
homogeneous material that does not splinter or
fray when cut. Its edges are as smooth as the top
and don’t need edge bands. They can be painted
and polished just like wood.

Regular wood working tools and techniques like


sawing, milling, sanding, gluing, drilling, boring,
screwing and staining are possible.
HAND CARVING
As Relwood™ is easy to work on, intricate wood
handcrafting is not only possible but will come
to life in more ways than one.

CNC DESIGN
RelWood™ is perfect to bring alive even the most detailed designs
using CNC wood carving machines. Its look, feel and durability will
bring a diversity of design to your creations.
THERMOFORMING
Creativity has no barriers with RelWood™. You can create a variety of shapes and
designs through thermoforming. Its edges are as smooth as the top and don’t need
edge bands. Your imagination can be turned to reality with RelWood™.
IMPRESSIVE WALL PANELS
One of the many potential applications of RelWood™ is as wall panels. So go ahead
and create impressive wall designs and 3D wall panelling, as the look, the feel and
longevity of RelWood™ gives you a natural texture with minimal maintenance. It can
sustain under all weather conditions outdoors or indoors.
