Benefits of technology
The material provides a durable, aesthetically pleasing, and lightweight alternative to natural wood, suitable for harsh outdoor environments with a 10% or greater weight reduction and improved mechanical strength.
Problems solved by technology
However, some woods are less suitable for certain products and use in outdoor environments which are subject to wet conditions.
However, even these wood products are susceptible to discoloration, splitting and other effects caused by the outdoor environment.
In addition, woods like teak are expensive and are environmentally protected in certain regions.
However, the constructions of these products from synthetic polymer material evidences a synthetic plastic look which is less attractive compared to natural wood materials.

Abstract
Building materials formed from synthetic polymer materials have an appearance which simulates natural woods. The building materials may be used in the construction of fences, sheds, decking materials, indoor / outdoor furniture, railings and numerous other products. The faux wood material is constructed to include reinforcing fibers and voids for weight reduction. The aesthetic appearance of the finished product can be enhanced by applying a color wash which includes a polymer component and a color component adhering to the surface of the material.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a divisional of the U.S. application Ser. No. 12 / 869,066, filed on Aug. 26, 2010, entitled “Faux Wood Building Materials And Articles Therefrom,” the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. This application claims the benefit of the filing date of the U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 275,191, filed Aug. 26, 2009, entitled “Faux Wood Building Materials,” the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates in general to faux wood building materials, and more particularly, to building materials formed from synthetic polymer materials having an appearance which simulate natural woods.[0003]Natural wood, due to its strength and aesthetic characteristics has been used in the construction of various products for both indoor and outdoor application. For example, wood such as oak, maple and pine have been used for indoor cab...
