Our most popular WPC solutions chosen by London homeowners, architects and contractors — combining natural aesthetics with long-lasting composite performance.
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.

London's construction and home improvement sector has witnessed a significant shift toward sustainable, low-maintenance building materials over the past decade. The city's unique combination of dense urban housing, high-value property markets, and a growing environmental consciousness among homeowners and developers has created ideal conditions for WPC decking adoption across residential, commercial, and public-sector projects.
From the regeneration of riverside developments along the Thames to the transformation of Victorian terraced garden spaces in Islington and Hackney, WPC decking has become a material of choice for London-based architects, landscapers and property developers. The material's ability to replicate the warmth and grain of tropical hardwoods — without the associated deforestation or maintenance burden — resonates strongly with London's eco-aware buyer demographic.
Local authorities including the Greater London Authority (GLA) have increasingly incorporated sustainable material specifications into planning guidance. WPC products, with their high recycled content and long service life, align closely with these requirements, making them a preferred option for public realm upgrades, rooftop amenity spaces in new residential towers, and commercial hospitality terraces across the capital.
