SIMOWOOD is the first big size sheet made of Resysta. The extruded sheets are processed to look and feel like wood and suited to areas of application that rely on durable, sustainable and weatherproof materials, e.g. outdoor furniture, wall and façade elements, flooring, fences, ship decking, wellness areas and wet rooms, store and exhibition stand design.


Highly resistant to all weather conditions


Resysta – the innovative, natural-fibre-reinforced hybrid material based on rice husks and specific thermoplastics – makes SIMOWOOD sheets extremely resistant. It is water-repellent, UV-resistant and offers the benefit of anti-slip properties when wet. This makes SIMOWOOD the perfect choice for both interior and exterior applications. Excellent processing capabilities


Sawing, milling, drilling, screwing, gluing and planing - SIMOWOOD can be machined with standard processing equipment, making it as versatile as wood-based products and through using various sanding techniques and varnishes, they can be finished to personal specifications. What is more, like plastic, the sheets are suitable for thermoprocessing, i.e. they combine the benefits of both materials in a single product. Innovative and sustainable


By its wood like appearance and haptic SIMOWOOD is genuine alternativ to tropical timber and it also contributes to the protection of valuable natural resources.


Resysta is made out of 60% rice husks, which are a natural waste product. Therefore no forests must be cleared, which take decades to regrow.
