Shop Fitters & Construction
Plastic sheet used in Shop Fitting & Construction
Shopfitters and the broader building and construction industry in Europe uses approximately 10 million tonnes of plastic each year. This makes building and construction the second largest consumer of plastic.
As we have evidenced in other sectors, the plastic product isn’t always that obvious on first sight, but they are increasing the material of choice for a growing range of applications.
Plastics are used for a number of reasons that either improve the look, performance or longevity of the product they are used to form.
Here are a few reasons why plastic is overtaking more traditional materials;
Flexibility – designers and architects can create more innovative buildings and shapes as the rapid pace of developments within plastics continually helps reduce the cost and improve the efficiency of buildings
Low maintenance – easy to install, virtually maintenance-free, and flexible
Cost reduction – less expensive than traditional materials to produce and install
Durability – has an economic life span
