What do our clients think?

“Outdoor spaces, balconies and deckings, play an even more important role nowadays in architecture, as since the pandemic people are really looking for green and safe environments with fresh air, in proximity to their homes and offices.”
Architect and Partner Stefan Blach, Studio Libeskind, New York

"It is easier to install UPM ProFi Piazza boards than the more challenging, shorter and less stable Ipé tropical hardwood boards. You just have to follow the installation instructions carefully as the installation of wood composite boards differs slightly from the installation of exotic wood or treated pine boards."
Mr. Ave, manager at FAVE, France
//
We were particularly attracted to the material because of its responsibility. I think it's great that 75% recycled plastic has been used in its manufacture, so we can play an active role in solving Europe's plastic problem.
Hubertus von Frenckell, CEO and owner of Käringsund tourist resort, Finland

Installation methods
UPM ProFi Piazza can be installed with different subconstruction methods. Find the most suitable installation method for your purpose.
All UPM ProFi products are made with a high content (55%– 97%) of recycled materials, thereby reducing landfill and incineration.
UPM ProFi Piazza gives a new life to paper and plastic offcuts generated in the self-adhesive label industry. The decking product is PEFC certified (FIN-PEFC-COC-1563). The recycled material content in UPM ProFi Piazza is around 75%.
35 m2 of Piazza decking = up to 500 kg of plastic and paper waste, without compromising high performance. This binds over 800 kg of CO2.
All exterior building materials require maintenance and cleaning to some extent. Periodic cleaning will keep your UPM ProFi WPC decking looking beautiful for years to come.

Quick tips
- Ensuring that leaves and other debris are swept from the deck will minimise the need for deck washing.
- Warm water and gentle brushing is often enough to clean away dust and debris. Normal household detergents can also be added to the water without damaging the decking.
- A pressure washer is recommended for a more thorough cleaning. A narrow jet spray is most effective.
- Due to UPM ProFi deckings' closed surface technology, oil and grease spills can normally be cleaned without staining.
- Bleach and abrasive cleaning materials must not be used with UPM ProFi decking products.
UPM ProFi composite decking boards will not suffer from the typical "wood greying" effect. When properly maintained, they will also avoid the stain marks and mould growth.
UPM ProFi Piazza is especially resistant to colour fading. In higher altitude locations, the stronger UV radiation may accelerate the natural weathering process.
