Bespoke Joinery - Plato  

Plato is a revolutionary thermo treatment which dramatically improves the stability and durability of wood.

Standard non-durable softwood and hardwood species from sustainable sources are upgraded into a product of greater performance and consistency, through a process which uses little energy and does not involve any chemicals.

Due to its patented two stage process, Plato®Wood is much less brittle than other thermo treated woods, so larger sections (up 110x240) are easily available and also simpler to plane to any profiles. This allows specifiers to enjoy complete freedom of design, without having to compromise on performance or environment friendliness.

Plato®Wood is cheaper and more available than rare hardwoods. It requires no maintenance and its improved stability and durability are consistent throughout the whole product - unlike other surface pressure treatments. These benefits have allowed Plato®Wood to be incorporated in a broad range of projects, such as cladding, decking, fencing and even civil construction, with direct ground and water contact.

Plato®Wood’s impressive performance means you now have an ecologically sound alternative to rare hardwoods and chemically treated softwoods for your external projects. By using Plato®Wood you can reduce your environmental footprint and the increasing pressure on the declining stocks of high quality timber.
