As with the majority of flooring products, Forestar product will lose some slip resistance when wet, but it still meets the minimum “low potential for slip” requirement as set by the HSE. In order to maintain adequate slip resistance, it is important to keep your boards clean and free from debris.

For normal wash, you just need to clean it with water and warm soapy water if necessary. When comes deep wash, the most efficient way is to use water by sponge or soft brush and even a power washer with the pressure no more than 1500psi applied by professional cleaner.

It is not recommended to use Forestar product in structural applications although it can be used, it’s a job best left to a structural engineer to design any load bearing structures.

Yes. Almost everything will fade over time when exposed to sunlight and other weather conditions. Forestar product is added high quality UV-inhibiting pigments and made from hardwood fibers in order to minimize the fading (softwood fades far more than hardwood), but there will still be some visible fade over first few months(the speed and degree of this fading depend on actual weather conditions) giving a more textured appearance. As with any timber based product, some fade will occur but the plastic content holds its colour. Any initial colour difference between boards is due to the natural colour variance in the wood fibers and once weathered, the boards will all be similar colour tone.

Forestar product can adapt to various weather conditions. It will shrink in hot and expand in cold when installed. We recommend to put boards in the working spot 48 hrs before installation so as to make it’s adaptation to the weather.

Forestar product applies advanced material design that prevent against cracking, rotting, peeling, insects damaging etc. With proper and recommended care, it will provide rather long years of good performance. You can refer to for details.
