Isowood is an Isolite product – Isolite is the leading expanded polystyrene (EPS) manufacturer in Africa. Since 2010, Isolite has been reusing and recycling EPS to produce Isowood – an initiative by the Isowall Group, to reuse and recycle to foster a sustainable future.
Isowood produce extruded skirting boards and dado rails, that come in standard 3 meter lengths, for the built environment market. Isowood products have a ‘wood like’ appearance and pose as a viable alternative to hardwood. Isowood is manufactured to a finished shape and colour; therefore, avoiding the use of chemically based stains, paints and solvents – which are typically used to treat hardwood products.
