Alternative Lumber Products
American Composite Timbers (ACT) are a strong, durable alternative to treated lumber. ACT Alternative Lumber Products are designed for use as both a structural and nonstructural element in boardwalks, docks, seawalls and many other applications.
Unlike wood, ACT Alternative Lumber Products do not rot, splinter, decompose or suffer attack from marine organisms and is therefore ideally suited for the marine and outdoor environment. ACT alternative lumber products combine the durability of plastic and the strength of fiberglass to produce a superior construction product. Where service life and low maintenance are the primary considerations in material selection, ACT IS THE BEST VALUE.
ACT Alternative Lumber Products are manufactured using FRP composite technology that combine all of the inherent benefits of plastic for long-term durability with reinforcements that provide strength characteristics common to wood. In fact, ACT’s exceptional strength allows its use for stringers, joists, beams and columns.
ACT Alternative Lumber Products are available in a variety of sizes and lengths ranging from a 2x2 to an (added charge) 12x12. Typical applications include:
