Exterior plastic plates

Plastic plates for outdoor use are needed in many industries. They are mainly used for surface and ground protection, e.g. on construction sites or at events, but also in support technology, e.g. as crane support plates. With our specialized manufacturing capabilities, we are able to produce plastic plates for outdoor applications in various shapes and textures to meet the highest demands. Customized products are also no problem, so we have the right solution for every requirement.

Diverse plastic sheets for every requirement

Plastic has different properties depending on the grade and can be cut into a variety of shapes and sizes. Polyethylene sheets can be produced in various thicknesses and with smooth or textured surfaces. They can also be produced in different colors. Due to the high stability and weather resistance of the special plastic (PE-HD, PE-HMW, PE-UHMW), sheets made of this material are often used outdoors. They are used to protect the ground and road surfaces on construction sites or at events, as support plates for construction machinery and other heavy equipment, or as curb protection and for overcoming height differences. But what is it that makes plastic so popular?

The main advantages of plastic:

  • LuxTek plastics are characterized by high weather and UV resistance and can withstand extreme weather conditions.
  • They are robust and durable and are highly resistant to moisture and chemicals.
  • The majority of plastics have good insulating properties against electricity.
  • PE is significantly lighter than many other materials, e.g. steel.
  • LuxTek plastics are robust, extremely resilient and virtually unbreakable due to their high toughness
  • Our plastics hardly absorb any water (<0.01%) and are impressively easy to clean.
  • Plastics can be processed into individual parts with the necessary expertise.

Plastic panels for exterior use - the most common areas of application

Ground protection outdoors

Plastic plates protect all types of surfaces and make them passable. Plastic road plates and ground protection plates are often used outdoors on construction sites to create stable site roads so that work can be done safely and efficiently. The terrain is often uneven and muddy, making it impossible to work safely without such plates. In addition to protecting expensive construction equipment and workers, road plates and heavy-duty plates also protect the subsoil, which could otherwise be irreparably damaged. Plastic plates are also commonly used at events and trade shows, where they create walkable and drivable paths and protect the ground. Plastic plates offer a number of advantages over other materials. They are lightweight, flexible and resilient. They are weatherproof, unbreakable, and resistant to frost and heat.

Support technology outdoors

Plastic sheets are also frequently used to create a stable substructure for cranes and machines. Heavy machinery and vehicles must be able to stand and maneuver with absolute safety, which is why the extremely resilient and low-wear plastic sheets are suitable for the construction of a support system. Plastic panels are also more weather-resistant than those made of steel or wood, and this property in particular makes them ideal for outdoor use. They are also easier to transport and install due to their significantly lower weight. Our support technology includes the following panels:

Other outdoor applications for plastic plates

Plastic plates are used in many other areas. They are frequently used outdoors in particular due to their special advantages. The road plates play an essential role in the expansion of the energy sector, particularly in the construction of power lines and routes. Plastic plates are often used as linings for dump trucks, hoppers or special machinery. There are also a wide range of applications in offshore and harbor construction: LuxTek plates, mounted on fender systems, protect ships when docking or while moored.

As the plates can have different properties depending on the type of plastic selected, suitable products are available for every requirement.
