At the core of Forestar's success is an unwavering commitment to sustainability. Recognizing the urgent need for eco-conscious building materials, the company utilizes up to 90% recycled content in its manufacturing processes. By repurposing waste materials into high-performance products, Forestar not only helps reduce landfill waste but also provides a superior alternative to traditional lumber.
Driven by a planet-first philosophy, Forestar continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in outdoor design. As the industry moves toward greener building practices, Forestar is at the forefront, proving that luxury, performance, and environmental responsibility can — and should — coexist.
Metro Manila's construction boom, rising real estate values, and growing environmental awareness are accelerating the adoption of WPC decking across residential, commercial, and public infrastructure projects.
Metro Manila is one of Southeast Asia's fastest-growing urban centers. Developers in BGC, Makati, Ortigas, and Alabang are increasingly specifying WPC decking for rooftop terraces, amenity decks, and facade cladding in mid-rise and high-rise residential towers, driven by both aesthetic appeal and long-term cost efficiency.
The Philippines' thriving tourism industry — from Boracay to Palawan and Manila Bay — has created strong demand for durable, weather-resistant outdoor flooring. Hotels, beach resorts, and restaurants are replacing traditional hardwood with WPC composite decking to cut maintenance costs and meet green building certifications such as LEED and BERDE.
The Philippine government's "Build, Build, Build" infrastructure program has opened significant opportunities for WPC applications in public parks, boardwalks, pedestrian bridges, and waterfront promenades. WPC's resistance to salt air, moisture, and heavy foot traffic makes it ideal for the country's coastal and urban public spaces.
With the Philippine Green Building Code gaining traction and LEED-certified buildings increasing across Metro Manila, architects and developers are prioritizing sustainable, low-VOC materials. WPC decking's high recycled content and minimal environmental footprint make it a natural fit for green-certified projects, from commercial towers in BGC to eco-resorts in Palawan.
The shift from uncapped to fully capped WPC boards is accelerating in the Philippines. Capped composites — where a protective polymer shell encases the board on all four sides — offer dramatically superior resistance to moisture absorption, staining, and UV degradation. In Manila's tropical climate with annual rainfall exceeding 2,000mm, capped technology is rapidly becoming the specification of choice for premium projects.
Post-pandemic lifestyle shifts have fueled a surge in outdoor living investments across Metro Manila. Homeowners in gated communities in Alabang, Quezon City, and Las Piñas are investing in deck extensions, garden pergolas, and outdoor kitchens. WPC decking's low maintenance, aesthetic versatility, and child-safe splinter-free surface are driving adoption in this growing residential segment.
Leading WPC manufacturers like Forestar Outdoor are investing in digital tools — including online configurators, installation video libraries, and BIM-compatible product data — that streamline the specification and procurement process for Philippine architects, interior designers, and contractors. This digital-first approach is shortening project timelines and reducing specification errors.
The Philippines faces an average of 20 typhoons per year. This reality is pushing specifiers toward materials that can withstand high wind loads, sustained moisture exposure, and rapid temperature fluctuations. WPC composite decking, with its engineered dimensional stability and resistance to warping, has emerged as a typhoon-resilient alternative to traditional timber across both residential and commercial applications.
From Taguig's corporate campuses to Cavite's beachfront subdivisions, WPC composite products are transforming how Manila builds and lives outdoors.
High-rise condominiums across Makati, BGC, and Pasig are specifying WPC pool decking for their rooftop and podium amenity levels. The material's waterproof, anti-slip, and UV-resistant properties make it ideal for wet zones, while its wood-grain aesthetics elevate the perceived value of the development.
From Batangas to Subic Bay, resort developers are choosing WPC decking for beachfront boardwalks, overwater terraces, and poolside lounging areas. WPC's salt-air resistance and zero-maintenance requirements translate directly into reduced operational costs for resort operators.
Homeowners in gated communities throughout Metro Manila and surrounding provinces are using WPC decking to create alfresco dining areas, garden lounges, and children's play zones. The splinter-free surface and fade-resistant finish ensure safe, beautiful outdoor spaces that require no seasonal repainting or sealing.
WPC exterior cladding panels are gaining traction as a facade material for commercial buildings, retail strips, and F&B establishments across Manila. The material's dimensional stability in high-humidity environments, combined with its contemporary wood-look aesthetics, makes it a compelling alternative to fiber cement and aluminum composite panels.
National parks, eco-tourism sites, and government-managed nature reserves are adopting WPC boardwalks and walkways as a sustainable alternative to concrete or treated timber. WPC's minimal environmental impact during installation and its long service life — typically 25+ years — make it ideal for protected natural areas.
Universities, corporate headquarters, and government buildings in Metro Manila are incorporating WPC decking and cladding into their campus landscaping and building envelope upgrades. The material's low lifecycle cost and compliance with green building standards make it an attractive choice for institutional procurement committees.
Forestar's extensive product portfolio is designed to meet the diverse needs of homeowners, contractors, and architects alike — delivering measurable advantages over traditional timber and competing composite brands.
Up to 90% of each board is manufactured from recycled wood fiber and reclaimed plastic, dramatically reducing landfill waste and deforestation pressure.
Forestar's proprietary surface technology keeps deck boards significantly cooler underfoot than standard composite or dark timber — critical for Manila's 35°C+ summer temperatures.
Industry-leading fire resistance ratings make Forestar WPC a compliant choice for commercial buildings, high-rise amenity decks, and public infrastructure projects requiring strict fire code adherence.
An extensive array of colors, textures, and board profiles that authentically mimic natural hardwoods — giving architects and designers complete creative freedom without environmental compromise.
