British company Tech-Wood Int. Ltd., Kent offers a completely new product made of wood plastic composites - a modular system for quick, easy construction of complete houses from WPC. The first houses with a living area of 85 m2 and an entry-level price of about €21,000 are currently under construction in Europe and the USA. To produce the building components, the company relies on well-established formulas with a natural fiber content of about 75 %. With the use of long fibers, a high rigidity between 6,000 and 7,000 MPa is achieved, which is a distinctive feature in comparison to WPC materials from competitors. Profiles for load-bearing parts receive additional reinforcement with metal or fiberglass inserts to counteract plastic flow.
