BenchesGreen, Eco-friendly Garden and Park BenchesKEY ADVANTAGES OF RECYCLED PLASTIC PRODUCTS: 1. No maintenance - lifetime cost benefits - 100% reduction in bench maintenance and replacement costs
Kedel's recycled plastic benches are made to lastRecycled Plastic Benches from Kedel are demolishing competition from the cheaper wooden benches traditionally found in parks, schools, and pub gardens, because they last at least 5 times longer than treated wood timber (see WRAP study) In as little as one year wood benches will look jaded, while Kedel's recycled plastic benches will still look like new. There is no significant change in appearance even after many years of use and continual exposure to the elements. You can expect a Recycled Plastic Bench to last a lifetime and maintain its appearance, without any maintenance other than cleaning. We use 3 varieties of Recycled PlasticRecycled mixed plastic - HDPE (High density polyethylene) and LDPE (Low density polyethylene), made from recycled plastic milk bottles and a variety of other waste plastic, Synthetic wood, made entirely from recycled polystyrene, and multicoloured Recycled Plastic Sheet (80% recycled HDPE). Synthetic Wood or Plastic Wood (Styrene) Benches
We take this type of material, which has been melted down and made into pellets, we heat it and mix it with colour pigments, before extruding it through a metal die. The compression and melting gives us a product with the same density and weight as some South American hard woods. Recycled Plastic Wood exhibits many of the same working properties as wood. It has the same look and feel of wood, and can be worked with normal woodworking tools - screwed, glued and sawn just like wood. Our designers were delighted with the authentic wood-like finish, which can easily be manufactured in any RAL colour. The colour is added during manufacture, and is the same throughout the material, so it will never need paint. It doesn't flake or crack, is UV resistant, and keeps its colour even in direct sunshine. Wooden benches have taken quite a battering in our UK winters - they swell up in the wet, and shrink in the dry weather. Along with frost in winter, this causes warping, cracks, and flaking of paint and varnish. But a Recycled plastic product won't absorb moisture. It's waterproof! No frost damage is possible. This is a genuine no maintenance, long lasting product. If it rains, just wipe it off and sit down immediately. There's no danger of getting a damp, cold backside. Our customers say Kedel plastic wood looks even more wood-like after weathering, and their friends haven't a clue it isn't wood. These are genuine, no maintenance, recycled waste plastic products.

Due to Covid-19 lockdown restrictions we are experiencing unusually high volumes of orders, plus Royal Mail and hauliers report up to 5 times more packages than normal. Delivery times given are therefore our best estimates. We also regret that customer collections from our Burnley unit are by appointment only. |
