What products does Forestar manufacture?

Forestar manufactures WPC composite decking boards, exterior and interior wall cladding, composite fencing, and garden sheds for outdoor storage. Production takes place at our facility in Xuancheng, Anhui, China, operated by Anhui Fumeida New Material Technology Co., Ltd.

What is Forestar composite made of?

Forestar composite blends reclaimed wood fibre with recycled polymers, and contains up to 90% recycled content. Capped profiles add a protective outer shell that improves resistance to staining and fading. Our boards do not need seasonal painting, sealing or staining.

Can importers order samples before placing a bulk order?

Yes. Distributors, contractors and retailers can request physical samples through the Order Sample page. We recommend evaluating colour, texture and surface temperature under your local sunlight conditions before you confirm a container order.

Do you support custom colours, profiles or private-label packaging?

We work with trade partners on colour, length, profile and packaging requirements for their target market. Please send your project specifications with your catalog request, and our export team will confirm feasibility.

Which markets does Forestar export to?

Forestar products are used in more than 45 countries. Our project references include the USA, Austria, Colombia, Finland and Chile.

Where can I meet the Forestar team in person?

Visit Forestar at PISCIMAD 2026 in Madrid, Booth 7A49, from 10 to 13 November 2026. You can also contact the export team to arrange a factory visit or a video call.

Industrial Landscape & The Berlin Specification Landscape

Analyzing procurement standards, thermodynamic parameters, and localized regulatory pressures.

1. The Berlin Urban Microclimate and Building Performance Imperatives

The Berlin metropolitan region presents distinct architectural demands characterized by continental climate volatility. With temperatures oscillating between frigid sub-zero winter lows and high-intensity solar radiation during dry continental summers, outdoor composite deck profiles encounter recurring thermodynamic stresses. Conventional softwood decking rapidly degrades under Berlin's relentless freeze-thaw cycles, leading to splintering, fiber loosening, and structural failure caused by internal moisture expansion.

Engineered Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC) decking has transitioned from an alternative product to a primary specification standard in projects across Mitte, Charlottenburg, and suburban developments around Brandenburg. Commercial assets, municipal canal boardwalks along the Spree, and residential multi-tier balconies demand solutions that guarantee dimensional integrity, anti-slip capabilities compliant with DIN EN 16165 (Class R11), and a low linear thermal expansion coefficient.

2. Regulatory Pressures: EnEV, GEG, and Fire Classification Mandates

Real estate developers, landscape architects, and specifiers in Berlin navigate strict environmental and safety regulations enforced by the German Building Energy Act (GEG) and regional building ordinances (Bauordnung für Berlin - BauO Bln). The utilization of construction elements requires verifiable documentation concerning environmental safety, low VOC emissions, and stringent fire ratings (EN 13501-1 Class Bfl-s1 or Cfl-s1 for commercial public venues).

Furthermore, local sustainability expectations demand traceable circular economy values. Premium-grade composite manufacturing integrates high-density polyethylene (HDPE) reclaimed from post-consumer applications, cross-linked with certified reclaimed timber fibers (up to 90% recycled composition). This lifecycle framework aligns seamlessly with European ESG metrics and taxonomy reporting for modern urban infrastructure investments.

Factory Integration: The Chinese Advanced Manufacturing Edge

Engineered polymer stabilization, continuous automated co-extrusion, and global scale resilience.

360-Degree Shield Shielding

Continuous co-extrusion wraps every board in a dense, modified polymer casing that resists moisture ingress, dynamic thermal expansion, UV fading, and persistent mold spores.

Consistent Batch Homogeneity

Automated raw material gravimetric mixing systems ensure color stabilization within Delta E < 0.8 across multiple 40-foot HQ shipping containers, eliminating on-site color variations.

Supply Chain Scalability

With an annual processing capacity exceeding hundreds of extrusion lines, production schedules remain resilient against raw material price shocks, providing cost benefits to European distribution partners.

Urban Implementation Case Studies & Procurement Demands

Connecting factory capabilities with European architectural and supply chain expectations.

Rooftop Living & Multi-Tier Balconies

With Berlin’s sustained renovation boom across Altbau and modern Neubau complexes, light-weight, dimensionally stable decking supported by height-adjustable pedestal systems guarantees flawless drainage without degrading building membranes.

Spree Riverfront Boardwalks

Continuous humidity along waterways degrades standard timbers. Our encapsulated composite deck boards resist chlorinated and fresh water absorption, guaranteeing rot-proof public walkways and restaurant terraces.

Logistical Flexibility & Mixed Containers

Berlin-based importers and distributors leverage our factory-direct flexibility: consolidating decking, matching perimeter fencing profiles, wall cladding panels, and kit-form garden storage structures inside singular, high-efficiency shipping units.

Frequently Asked Questions (Trade & Technical FAQ)

Critical considerations for professional specifiers, contractors, and building material importers.

How do these composite boards perform under Berlin's freezing winters?

Our co-extruded deck profiles feature an ultra-dense, closed-cell polymer outer shell with a water absorption rate under 0.4%. Because moisture cannot penetrate the core matrix, freeze-thaw cycles do not cause delamination, internal cracking, or surface splintering, even during prolonged sub-zero temperatures.

What substructure joist spacing is required for commercial decks in Germany?

For residential foot traffic, a joist center-to-center spacing of 400 mm is standard. For high-occupancy commercial installations, public waterfronts, or angled installations (45 degrees), we recommend joist centers spaced at 300 mm to ensure complete structural rigidity and zero deflections under high live loads.

Are these composite decking profiles compliant with European fire safety standards?

Yes. Our profiles undergo stringent reaction-to-fire testing under EN 13501-1, achieving ratings up to Bfl-s1 and Cfl-s1. This allows specifiers to meet fire safety criteria for rooftop terraces, public building perimeters, and emergency egress areas.

Can we consolidate multiple product categories within one shipping container?

Yes. Our export consolidation program allows European importers and trade contractors to combine co-extruded decking boards, cladding panels, composite fencing modules, and modular garden sheds in matching color batches within a single 40-foot HQ container, reducing warehouse inventory risk and optimizing freight spend.
