Eco-Friendly Wood-Alternative Lumber Offers Aesthetic Attributes of Wood While Solving the Problems of Degradation, Weathering and Perpetual Maintenance 2010 International Builders' Show SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LifeTime Lumber® (www.lifetimelumber.com), a low-maintenance, eco-friendly and fire-resistant deck, dock and fence material launches next week at the International Builders’ Show (IBS) 2010, January 19-22 in Las Vegas. LifeTime Lumber is a unique, wood-alternative lumber made from inert material recovered from the electric power generation industry. Ideal for building decks, docks and fences, LifeTime Lumber offers the aesthetic attributes of wood, while solving the problems of maintenance, degradation, and weathering. “LifeTime Lumber is a highly versatile material with working properties similar to those of wood, and can be sawed, as well as screwed and nailed together with regular wood working tools” What is LifeTime Lumber Containing no wood, plastic or PVC, LifeTime Lumber is something completely new for the building industry – thermoset polymers combined with recycled mineral filler. A breakthrough in materials science, LifeTime Lumber is made from a patented mixture of fly ash, a non-hazardous inert material recovered from the electric power generation industry, and polyurethane. The resulting wood-alternative lumber for decking, docks and fences contains no wood unlike many of the wood plastic composites lumbers, and therefore it will not rot, be affected by termites, support mold and mildew, absorb water or significantly expand or contract. Because of these features LifeTime Lumber is a win-win for builders and homeowners looking for the unique properties of fire and mold-resistance as well as a material that is impervious to termites and dry rot, all combined in an easy-to-use, color-fast, green building material product. At IBS 2010 visit LifeTime Lumber at their demonstration deck on the "Highlander" home at IBS Show Village.
