Recycled plastic battens, joists and beams provide a practical, long-lasting solution for forming supporting substructures beneath GRP platforms and walkways. These profiles are particularly well suited to external environments where durability, moisture resistance and low maintenance are essential.
Used alongside GRP grating and access systems, recycled plastic profiles help create stable, reliable foundations without the long-term issues associated with timber.
Key Benefits
Manufactured from recycled plastic saved from landfill, these profiles are inherently resistant to moisture, rot and biological degradation. Unlike timber, they do not absorb water, split or decay, making them suitable for direct contact with the ground and permanent outdoor installation.
Once installed, recycled plastic battens, joists and beams do not require painting, staining or surface treatment, helping reduce ongoing maintenance requirements.
These profiles are commonly used as secondary support members beneath GRP platforms, walkways and access routes. Their consistent dimensions and stability make them suitable for forming level, continuous substructures that support GRP grating panels and components.
Available in a range of square and rectangular profiles, these recycled plastic components suit different layouts, spacings and load requirements.
Manufactured from recycled plastic diverted from landfill, these products support a drive towards more sustainable construction and infrastructure. In many applications, they provide a durable alternative to timber with a significantly longer service life.
The kgCO2 per kg of material of our recycled wood plastics is 0.405, compared to hardwood at 0.860, steel at 3.057 and virgin plastic HDPE at 3.592, confirming this material’s lower environmental impact over traditional materials.
At the end of their usable life, our recycled plastic profiles are 100% recyclable, supporting responsible material use throughout the product lifecycle.
Recycled plastic battens, joists and beams are commonly specified for:
They are particularly effective in wet, exposed or difficult-to-access locations where long-term performance is required.
Our team can advise on correct profile selection and integration with our GRP profiles, handrails and grating to create access platforms and walkways.
