Water-resistant Design-panel with natural Look & feel of Wood
MORE VERSATILE, DURABLE AND SUSTAINABLE
The Universal Performance Boards made of Resysta are incredibly versatile. They do not just look and feel like wood, they can also be processed like wood. And unlike wood, these panels are even thermoformable. This provides unbelievable ease of design for numerous application areas. The UPB board shines with its application as flooring material as well as for use in façades or interior decoration. For more than 15 years, the material has been establishing its advantages in worldwide projects throughout various climatic zones and under the most severe conditions. The UPB board is easy to care for and more durable than wood or WPC due to its water and UV resistance, and it is 100% recyclable. And since it is made up of approximately 60% rice husks, a leftover product from the food industry, UPB boards are extremely sustainable and are an example of the technological advancement of natural raw materials - a true wood 2.0.
Advantages of the UPB Boards:
- 100% water-resistant
- easy processing - like wood
- individual color design
- thermoverformability
- 100% recyclable
- 2018 awarded with the Green Product Award (category architecture)
NEW: UPB boards with the ecoplus3 technology
UPB boards rely on the ecoplus3 technology developed by Resysta International. This completely new process allows to produce sustainable natural fibreboards (= universal performance boards/UPB). Natural fibreboards with the ecoplus3 technology made of Resysta combine economic prices with excellent freedom of design. They are 100% recyclable, waterproof, low-maintenance and virtually indistinguishable from tropical wood in terms of their optic and tactile properties. Products using the ecoplus3 technology also have a remarkably low density. At a maximum weight of 0.6 g/cm³, they are extremely lightweight. This makes their handling for production and installation especially effortless. The low expansion of the material makes them even easier to install. On account of its reduced thermal conductivity, it prevents e.g. terraces and façades from heating up too fast. UPB boards with the ecoplus3 technology by Resysta offer truly intelligence.
