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.
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.
Proprietary manufacturing processes deliver boards with superior structural integrity, UV resistance, and a realistic wood grain finish that outperforms natural timber.
Up to 90% recycled content per board, reducing landfill impact while meeting the strictest European environmental certifications demanded by Berlin's green building codes.
Unlike natural wood, Forestar WPC requires no painting, sealing, or staining — saving Berlin homeowners and facility managers significant time and long-term cost.
An extensive palette of colors and textures mimicking real wood grain, enabling architects and designers across Berlin to achieve any aesthetic vision.
Berlin is one of Europe's fastest-growing cities for sustainable construction. From Mitte's mixed-use developments to Prenzlauer Berg's residential renovations, WPC wood grain boards have become a material of choice for architects, developers, and urban planners throughout the German capital.
Berlin's construction sector has seen sustained growth, with billions of euros invested annually in residential, commercial, and public infrastructure projects. The city's commitment to sustainable building — reflected in Germany's GEG (Building Energy Act) and Berlin's own climate action plan — has accelerated demand for low-carbon materials like WPC. Developers working on projects in areas such as Europacity, Tegel Urban Tech Republic, and Adlershof Science City increasingly specify WPC wood grain boards for exterior cladding, decking, and fencing due to their lifecycle performance and eco-credentials.
Beyond residential use, WPC wood grain boards are widely adopted across Berlin's commercial and industrial sectors. Restaurant terraces in Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain rely on WPC decking for its slip resistance and low upkeep. Retail parks in Spandau and Tempelhof use WPC cladding panels to achieve a modern, warm aesthetic without the cost of real timber maintenance. Hotels along Kurfürstendamm specify WPC wall siding for exterior façades that must withstand Berlin's cold winters and humid springs while retaining visual appeal year after year.
Berlin's Senate Department for Urban Development and Housing has championed green infrastructure projects that incorporate sustainable materials. WPC wood grain boards are now a standard specification for boardwalks, park furniture surrounds, cycle path edging, and waterfront promenades along the Spree and Havel rivers. Projects in Tiergarten, Tempelhofer Feld, and the Mauerpark area have utilized WPC products to create durable, visually cohesive outdoor environments that align with Berlin's long-term urban sustainability goals.
Berlin's strong culture of home improvement and garden living — particularly in districts like Zehlendorf, Steglitz, and Pankow — has driven strong retail and trade demand for WPC decking, fencing, and garden shed solutions. Berlin homeowners increasingly choose WPC wood grain boards over traditional pressure-treated timber because they eliminate the need for annual staining and offer a consistent wood-like appearance that complements both modern and heritage architecture. The growing popularity of Schrebergarten allotment gardens across the city has also created a booming micro-market for WPC storage sheds and fencing panels.
Forestar Outdoor 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 transforming a small Berlin backyard patio or executing a large-scale commercial project in the heart of the city, Forestar provides the materials and expertise to create lasting, beautiful, and sustainable outdoor environments.
Discover Our Full RangeThe WPC industry is undergoing rapid transformation driven by tightening environmental regulations, evolving design preferences, and breakthroughs in composite material science. Here are the key trends defining the market in Berlin and across the European Union.
The European Green Deal and Germany's Kreislaufwirtschaft (circular economy) policies are pushing architects and developers in Berlin to specify materials with high recycled content and low embodied carbon. WPC wood grain boards — with up to 90% recycled material — align perfectly with these mandates, making them the preferred choice for projects seeking DGNB (German Sustainable Building Council) certification.
Next-generation capped WPC products — where a protective polymer shell is co-extruded around the composite core — are rapidly becoming the industry benchmark in Europe. These boards offer dramatically improved stain resistance, colour retention, and surface hardness compared to first-generation WPC. Berlin's premium residential and hospitality sectors are increasingly specifying capped WPC as the default exterior material.
Berlin's architectural community has embraced biophilic design principles — incorporating natural materials and textures into urban environments to improve wellbeing. WPC wood grain boards, with their high-fidelity wood-look finishes, enable architects to achieve authentic natural aesthetics at scale without the environmental cost or maintenance burden of real timber, making them ideal for Berlin's dense urban context.
Berlin's climate — characterised by cold, wet winters and increasingly hot, dry summers — demands building materials that can withstand significant thermal cycling, freeze-thaw stress, and UV exposure. Modern WPC wood grain boards engineered with advanced UV stabilisers and moisture-resistant cores are specifically designed to maintain dimensional stability and surface integrity across these conditions, outperforming both natural wood and PVC alternatives.
Berlin-based contractors and developers are increasingly sourcing WPC products directly from manufacturers, bypassing traditional distribution layers to reduce costs and lead times. Direct factory supply relationships with certified WPC manufacturers like Forestar Outdoor — offering digital specification tools, sample ordering, and project-specific technical support — are transforming how Berlin's construction industry procures composite building materials.
From Mitte to Marzahn, WPC wood grain boards are transforming how Berlin builds, renovates, and maintains its outdoor and semi-outdoor spaces. Here are the primary application scenarios driving demand across the city.
Our composite deck board range is engineered to meet the specific performance demands of Berlin's climate and construction standards — delivering authentic wood grain aesthetics with zero maintenance requirements.
