Material: UPM ProFi Lifecycle is an advanced wood composite made using the latest technologies. Recycled American red and white oak fibres are heat treated, encapsulated in a hard polymer matrix, and then allowed to cool naturally. This process takes longer than typical WPC production. The result is an exceptionally stable, water resistant solid board that is protected to the core. Compared to traditional WPC boards, the closed surface is also more resistant to oil spills and stains. Structure: Solid profile with fluted reverse, made by extrusion technology. Single sided use: hardwood embossing.

Profile dimensions: 21 mm x 137 mm; length 4 m; weight: 2.6 kg/m Tolerances: The boards may have a slight curvature on one side due to the special production and natural cooling method. Thermal expansion: UPM ProFi Lifecycle will expand and contract with changes in temperature. The following table shows this effect over different temperature changes. The temperature change listed relates to the temperature of Lifecycle material, not the air temperature. In strong sunshine, darker coloured boards will reach higher temperatures than lighter coloured boards. Thermal expansion/shrinkage of UPM ProFi...
