Discover our premier selection of Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC) products engineered to deliver exceptional durability and aesthetic appeal across residential and commercial projects in Peru.
Peru is experiencing a significant transformation in its construction and architectural landscape. Rapid urbanization in major hubs like Lima, Arequipa, and Trujillo, combined with a growing national awareness of environmental sustainability, has generated substantial demand for alternative building materials. Traditionally, Peru relied heavily on natural tropical hardwoods for outdoor structures, balconies, and public boardwalks. However, the country's diverse microclimates—ranging from the high humidity and salty air of the Pacific coast to the extreme UV exposure of the Andean highlands and the intense rainfall of the Amazon basin—pose severe challenges to natural wood. Traditional timber in these regions is highly susceptible to warping, cracking, rotting, and insect infestation, requiring costly and frequent maintenance.
Consequently, Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC) decking has emerged as the preferred choice for forward-thinking architects, developers, and homeowners across Peru. WPC products combine recycled wood fibers with high-density plastics to create a material that offers the warm, organic aesthetic of natural timber but with none of its structural weaknesses. The industrial sector in Peru is increasingly adopting WPC for commercial infrastructure, public parks, luxury hotel terraces, and residential developments, recognizing its long-term cost-efficiency and minimal environmental impact.
By eliminating the need for toxic sealants, chemical stains, and continuous logging, WPC decking directly aligns with Peru's national green building initiatives and international environmental standards, making it the premier choice for sustainable regional growth.
In the evolving landscape of modern construction and home improvement, Forestar Outdoor has emerged as a global leader in the design, development, and manufacture of premium Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC) products. Established in 2008, the company has spent nearly two decades transforming outdoor living spaces, combining the timeless aesthetic appeal of natural wood with the unparalleled durability and sustainability of cutting-edge composite technology. With a footprint spanning over 45 countries and more than one million homes successfully transformed, Forestar stands as a benchmark for quality, innovation, and environmental stewardship in the building materials industry.
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. Unlike natural wood, which requires constant maintenance, including seasonal painting, sealing, and staining, Forestar’s composite solutions are engineered to withstand the harshest environmental conditions. Its products are meticulously crafted to resist rot, splintering, cracking, fading, and staining, ensuring that outdoor structures remain as vibrant and structurally sound years after installation as they were on the first day.
Forestar’s extensive product portfolio is designed to meet the diverse needs of homeowners, contractors, and architects alike. The company specializes in four primary categories: Composite Deck Boards, Cladding, Fencing, and Garden Sheds. Each line represents a synergy of form and function. Forestar’s decking, for instance, features industry-leading proprietary technology that provides a cooler touch and superior fire resistance, making it an ideal choice for both residential and commercial projects. The aesthetic versatility offered by Forestar is unmatched; the company provides an extensive array of colors and textures that mimic the look and feel of real wood, allowing for complete design freedom without the associated environmental footprint or maintenance burdens.
Beyond its physical products, Forestar is dedicated to empowering its clients through education and support. The company’s digital resources—including installation guides, how-to videos, and detailed FAQs—provide invaluable assistance for DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike. By offering a transparent look into the advantages of WPC over traditional wood, Forestar helps stakeholders make informed decisions that favor long-term value and durability.
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. Whether it is transforming a small backyard patio or executing a large-scale commercial project, Forestar Outdoor provides the materials and the expertise to create lasting, beautiful, and sustainable outdoor environments.

Forestar WPC solutions are engineered to perform exceptionally across the diverse geographic zones of Peru. Here are the primary localized applications where our products deliver high value:
Lima’s coastal districts, such as Miraflores, Barranco, and San Isidro, feature beautiful cliffside boardwalks (malecones) and beachside residential properties. These areas face constant exposure to high humidity, dense sea fog (garúa), and corrosive salt air. Traditional wood quickly degrades under these conditions, requiring constant sanding, painting, and replacement. Forestar’s capped WPC decking, such as the TerraShield series, provides an impermeable barrier against moisture and salt corrosion. It maintains its structural integrity and color, offering local municipalities and homeowners a maintenance-free solution that looks pristine year after year.
In the Andes, tourism infrastructure requires materials that harmonize with the natural environment while resisting extreme weather conditions. High altitude means intense UV radiation, which causes standard materials to fade and break down rapidly. Additionally, temperature fluctuations between hot days and freezing nights cause materials to expand and contract. Our UV-resistant cladding and WPC decking are engineered to withstand these thermal cycles and high solar radiation, ensuring that luxury eco-lodges in Cusco, Urubamba, and Arequipa remain safe, beautiful, and sustainable.
For eco-tourism projects in regions like Iquitos and Madre de Dios, preserving the natural habitat is paramount. Building walkways, viewing platforms, and cabins with traditional wood drives local deforestation and requires continuous treatment with toxic chemical preservatives to ward off termites and fungal decay. Forestar’s WPC products offer a sustainable alternative. Made from recycled materials, they are highly resistant to the intense humidity and biological threats of the rainforest, protecting local ecosystems while offering tourists a safe, slip-resistant surface.
The South American building materials market is undergoing a rapid transition toward high-tech, low-maintenance materials. The primary driver is the total cost of ownership. While the initial investment in WPC decking may be higher than low-grade local timber, the complete elimination of annual sealing, staining, and replacement costs means WPC pays for itself within 3 to 5 years. This economic advantage, combined with the material's longevity, makes it highly appealing to commercial developers managing large-scale public and private projects.
Furthermore, global architectural trends emphasize seamless indoor-outdoor living transitions. Modern residential designs in Peru feature large sliding glass doors that open directly onto flush composite decks, extending the living space outdoors. The demand for realistic wood aesthetics is also driving manufacturers to innovate. Forestar is leading this trend by developing multi-tonal color blending and natural, non-repeating wood grain patterns that are virtually indistinguishable from real wood, satisfying the aesthetic demands of high-end Peruvian architects.
Finally, green building certifications such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) are becoming standard for new commercial builds in Lima. Because Forestar WPC utilizes recycled wood fibers and polymers, incorporating our decking and cladding panels directly contributes to earning environmental credits, supporting Peru's transition toward carbon-neutral urban development.
