LifeTime Lumber products are ideal for municipal and county building and renovation projects, where green and sustainable products are desirable and fire safety is critical.
LifeTime Lumber is made from 65% recycled material and complies with the requirements for LEED 4.1 and 4.2 credits.
As a tested and proven non-structural wood replacement material, LifeTime Lumber can be used wherever wood is used. The standard size boards (5/4" x 6" and 2" x 6" and 4”x4”) can be fabricated into decking, docks, and a wide range of fencing types, including the LifeTime Fence System.
Properties and Benefits
Fire resistance: LifeTime Lumber is available in both Class B and Class A fire ratings, according to ASTM E-84 standards. Both flame spread and smoke generation compare exceptionally well to wood, and far exceed the performance of virtually all other composite materials.
This high performance fire resistance helps LifeTime Lumber conform with local government fire safety programs and the highest building code standards for wood-replacement composite materials.
Environmental sustainability: As a certified green product, LifeTime Lumber contains 65% recycled material, and has no toxic materials, preservatives or compounds that can leach from the material.
Low maintenance: It needs no staining or painting, will not rot, will not be damaged by termites, and does not support bacterial or fungal growth. LifeTime Lumber does not require routine maintenance other than occasional cleaning, such as mild soap and water.
LifeTime Lumber is unaffected by exposure to salt or fresh water, making it an ideal dock and marina building material.
Long service life: LifeTime Lumber is an engineered composite product that will provide many years of high performance, low maintenance service life. It will outlast the wood it replaces by many years.
Ease of use: LifeTime Lumber can be fabricated using standard wood working tools and fastening systems. A carbide saw blade is recommended. Otherwise, all standard tools and materials can be used with LifeTime Lumber.
Used by discriminating municipalities: The City of Los Angeles, Encinitas, and the County of Los Angeles, California, for example, are just a few of the local governments where LifeTime Lumber is the preferred product. more on LifeTime Lumber for Municipalities...
