Product description

Terrax Boards are innovative modular construction and formwork panels crafted from 100% recycled composite waste materials, providing a sustainable substitute for conventional plywood and timber-based products. These boards are meticulously designed for reusability and longevity, offering exceptional moisture resistance, termite-proof properties, and versatility across various construction applications such as wall cladding, flooring, partitions, shuttering, and furniture production.

Unlike traditional materials that deteriorate rapidly and contribute to deforestation, Terrax Boards are engineered to endure extended periods and can be fully recycled at the conclusion of their life cycle, thereby minimizing waste generation. Their remarkable strength-to-weight ratio facilitates effortless handling and installation while upholding superior load-bearing capabilities.

The manufacturing process of Terrax Boards obviates the necessity for virgin wood and chemical binders, resulting in a substantial reduction of the product’s carbon footprint. This groundbreaking approach advocates for closed-loop construction methodologies and diminishes reliance on landfills, positioning Terrax Boards as an optimal choice for developers, architects, and builders striving to adhere to contemporary sustainability benchmarks.
