Building & Construction

Plastics are used in a growing range of applications in the construction industry. They have great versatility and combine excellent strength to weight ratio, durability, cost effectiveness, low maintenance and corrosion resistance which make plastics an economically attractive choice throughout the construction sector.

Plastics in construction are mainly used for:

• Seals

• Profiles (windows and doors)

• Pipes

• Cables

• Floor coverings

• Insulation.

Potentially, plastics have further uses as they do not rot, rust or need regular re-painting, they have strength with lack of weight, they are easily formable, and their light weight enables them to be easily transported and moved on site. We have a wide range of suppliers to meet the growing needs of the construction sector, including flame retardant and sustainable options.
