Zero maintenance market spawns more and more 'wood lookalikes'

‘It looks like wood…but isn’t’ is a message that visitors to this year’s SOLEX can’t fail to notice…

More and more exhibitors have been developing garden furniture made from materials that can be fashioned to look like wood but offer zero maintenance properties.

We’ve featured some of them in previous editions of SOLEX Sun this week, but here are thee more…

Li-Lo Leisure Products (stand 210):  are showing furniture sets made from aluminium with a wood-effect paint finish (cover page and below). Check out bistro set and dining sets with distinctive contemporary styling.

Mercer Leisure (225): have their Nevawood furniture (below), based on a top-secret material that can be sanded if required to remove blemishes and stains without losing its warm wood colouring.

Innovators International (425): are exhibiting their growing Winawood range of furniture made from a compressed recycled polystyrene with a realistic wood-effect finish.
